Problem #1 Sins of a Solar Empire: Rebellion Desync Error Fix
The desync issue has been a problem since the original SoaSE. A symptom of this problem is when your game progress is very different from another player’s progress in multiplayer. The simple workaround is to play on smaller maps with less players and AI.

The devs have realized this as noted in their pre-release patch note: “Fixed a possible false positive save state mismatch bug.” If you do encounter desyncs, please let us know in the comments and the community will try to help out.
Problem #2 Sins of a Solar Empire: Rebellion Minidump Crash to Desktop Fix
Sometimes, Sins of a Solar Empire: Rebellion may crash if the process has run out of virtual memory. 32-bit Windows executables (like Sins) can normally allocate just 2 Gigabytes of virtual memory. This limit is set regardless of whether your computer has 1 GB or 12 GB of RAM. For large Sins games, especially with mods, this 2GB limit is quite possible to hit. When it is hit, your Sins crashes.
The fix is extremely simple. Windows has built-in support for giving programs up to 3GB of virtual memory on 32-bit Windows, or up to 4GB of virtual memory on 64-bit Windows.By enabling this extended support, Sins can take up 3 or 4 GB of virtual memory instead of just 2. This doesn’t allow you to run infinitely-large battles, but the amount of content you can fit into 3GB is quite a bit more than you can fit into just 2GB. And if you are running a 64-bit operating system, the full 4GB is available to you.
To enable the 3GB switch on Windows Vista™ or Windows 7:
- Right-click Command Prompt in the Accessories program group of the Start menu. Click Run as Administrator.
- At the command prompt, enter “bcdedit /set IncreaseUserVa 3072″
- Restart the computer.
To disable the 3GB switch:
- Right-click on Command Prompt in the Accessories program group of the Start menu. Click Run as Administrator.
- At the command prompt, enter “bcdedit /deletevalue IncreaseUserVa”
- Restart the computer.
This does not display the increased size in the task manager as it still shows 2GB but now when my applicationx crash they indicate the current memory usage as 3GB
