Ironclad Games and Stardock Entertainment have released a small hotfix for v1.97 of Sins of a Solar Empire: Rebellion today. This update should resolve the issues reported in running the game.
Removed incorrect dinput8.dll file that prevented the game from launching for some users - especially on Windows 8. (Note that if you added this manually, you can safely delete it).
Updated some code in the file system that may help fix with issues where the game can't read/write to is settings directory.
Resolved (hopefully) multiplayer server stability issues.

Version 3.0 of Stardock's fantasy civilization style game, Fallen Enchantress: Legendary Heroes gets updated to add more quests, heroes, city upgrades and general performance and stability improvements.
Conquer your enemies and explore the world of Elemental in Fallen Enchantress: Legendary Heroes! We've updated this beloved classic with a new Tower of Knowledge faction structure, some highly requested AI improvements, and some performance updates that we know you'll love.
Elemental: Fallen Enchantress – Legendary Heroes is a fantasy strategy game in which the player builds a civilization in the world of Elemental. This world was nearly destroyed by the War of Magic, and it is up to you to rebuild it.
Unlike most civilization games, the Elemental games put you into the game directly as a character.
Over the past year or so, players have been sending us their saved games so that we can use them to determine certain edge crash situation or stuck turn scenarios. We know that when it happens to you while you’re playing that it doesn’t feel like much of an “edge case,” so we wanted to make sure to find and fix as many as possible.
To make tactical battles more interesting, we made some AI improvements and wrote some new code that should improve turn times substantially, especially on larger maps. Because of these performance gains and greater stability, we increased the map sizes just a bit as well.
To see everything we've added in v3.0, check out the changelog at the bottom of the post!
