I also get this warning some times(once I didn't get it, then I did...) and everyone seemed to be able to join my games just fine.

Reply to What can i expect from stardock online? in Sins Multiplayer Sins Forums

I couldn't host on my home network, but then I didn't have a lot of time to mess around with it. I've never had problems with joining other peoples games, and here at school(where I was expecting my college to have all the ports blocked and what not) I have absolutly no trouble hosting or joining games. I think it is a case of like most forums, the people having troubles come and complain, and the people with no problems just play the game and never say anything, causing there to be an illusion

Reply to Jarrasul Evacuator in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

When you use drain planet, if you actually zoom in and look at the ship there, it causes a green vortex to swirl up from the planet and into the ship itself. This goes on for some time and then stops. It doesn't create some sort of blackhole that sucks the planet in or anything, it just sucks things up off the surface.

Reply to How do you talk to just your teammates in Sins Multiplayer Sins Forums

You can also hit Shift+Tab to cycle backwards. I think at first you have to cycle through the list of players, and then it gets to "Allies." Or you can shift+tab once and your at allies.

Reply to Few quick questions in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

Ah, of course, I wasn't thinking about bombers. I just set the carriers to build fighters to hit the long range ships(it says they are good against them.) I have a third question: 3) The Vasari capital ship "Autorak MArauder" has a ability called "Subversion" which makes a planet build slower. Does it also provide line of sight in the area even after the ship leaves? It seems to be that considering how fast things build already, that slowing that rate by 15% or so is not goin

Few quick questions in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

Just two quick questions... 1) How do I see replays from games I just played? I found "Watch game" in the single player, but it doesn't list any games. I want to be able to view the multiplayer games and see what my enemy was doing. 2) What does good damage against turrents/buildings? I've wanted to raid planets and blow up buildings right quick and phase away, but I don't know what to use against them. I know the seige ships can bomb planets, but can they comb extractors/turre

Reply to How to play Vasari ? in Strategy Sins Forums

I've really only played lets see... 1 1v1 online, 1 4v4 online, and 3 games against easy computers, so my opinions might not be worth much... What I do though is try to get the first 4 mineral/crystal extraction upgrades as soon as possible. After that I'm raking in enough mineras and crystals to just sell the extra for credits when-ever I need them. I really like the Jarrasul Evacuator's Grav Bomb ability. The computer kept flying into my grav-well's and flying away, but a Grav bomb at

Reply to "Sins of a Solar Empire has stopped working" in Technical Sins Forums

Re-installing completely fixed it, if the issue returns I'll begin messing with the other issues. I do use a Nvidia card, the Nvidia Geforce Go 7900GS. I really don't want to mess with the drivers though. I did that when I first got this laptop(its my new one) and it messed everything up, none of my old games would work. Nvidia hadn't released any drivers for the card that were compatiable with Vista, so I had to try thirdparty ones and drivers from other cards/xp, finally I think I found some d

"Sins of a Solar Empire has stopped working" in Technical Sins Forums

I got this game yesterday and played it all night without any problems, then I played a 2 hour game this morning and everything was working great. I went online, made an account and everything just fine, I couldn't host though. I exited the game and was going to restart when I noticed a McAfee message pertaining to Sins' internet ussage being blocked, which is probably why I couldn't host. I had already started the restart though and was unable to click "Grant access" before everything shut down

Reply to Panning in Game Talk GalCiv2 Forums

I was having a simlier problem. When I went to use the middle mouse button to rotate and all that, it just wouldn't work. Im going to guess your using windows... Click START(down in the tool bar) Control Panel Printers and Other hardware Click Mouse Now, after clicking Mouse mine has a picture of my mouse(more or less) and 4 buttons(my mouse has 4 buttons). The picture is labeled so that number 2 is clearly the mouse wheel. Your middle mouse button should be

Reply to Ship to ship combat graphics in Game Talk GalCiv2 Forums

There are options under the "Interface" tab(think thats it) that should say something like full fleet battles or what not. There are a few options. Theres also a check that will make fleetbattles only show on full if both sides are fleets.

Reply to Own music in the game in Game Talk GalCiv2 Forums

I kind of like the music when you first start a new game... but over time it seems to drop away into these ultra-quiet space sounds... I just run windows media player in the background. Maybe not the best method, but no problems so far.

Reply to Stock Exchanges in Game Talk GalCiv2 Forums

Hmm, if anyone was interested. I reinstalled the 1.0X patch. My saved game still has the exchanges doing 15%. I started a battle of the gods game(so that I would have the stock exchange tech upgraded already). The stock exchanges I could build in that game were 30%... so it seems its just my file thats messed up. I had wanted to start over anyway... the Altarians(the alternate humans) had 25%(entire corner on the mini-map) under

Reply to Stock Exchanges in Game Talk GalCiv2 Forums

I already knew where to get the beta patch, I just don't want to get it because of the fact that its beta The posters above made it sound like the newest non-beta version should fix it. Which, as far as I know, is version 1.0X, and I have that. Is anyone else that hasen't gotten the beta still having this problem? Or am I an anomaly?

Reply to Stock Exchanges in Game Talk GalCiv2 Forums

Really? I have 1.0X and thought that was the most up to date... well its good to know its been fixed Edit -- Um, I just looked at the download page and it dosen't show a version 1.0d... just 1.0X which is what I have. https://www.galciv2.com/Downloads.aspx

Stock Exchanges in Game Talk GalCiv2 Forums

Alright, so today I finally made it far enough into the tech tree to be able to build Stock Exchanges. After I finished the tech, all of my Banking Centers began upgrading... I figured this would be ok. Then I go and find out that Stock Exchanges do less economic upgrade than Banking Centers. Not only that, but I went to start changing all my Stock Exchanges into banks... and found that it no longer lets me build them. I was at about 350bc a

If you want to complain about spelling/grammer, thats fine. However, telling people to go die is a bit extreme I think. Its right up there with "lol" "rofl" "stfu" "wtf"...

Won't let me edit my post... comes up with an error... I wanted to add that being able to save and continue later would be good to. Even if a human player had to be taken over by an AI, or a diffrent human took over for one of them... having to play an entire game straight through would take forever

Reply to The Multiplayer Expansion idea box in Game Talk GalCiv2 Forums

If any kind of multiplayer is added, it should be like what Civ4 had. My brothers and I only played the multiplayer of Civ4... it just worked well(atleast with the 3 of us). If you haven't played Civ4, it had it where all the human players made their moves at the same time, and then the computers would make theres. This way, no ones ever really sitting around doing nothing. The only problem really is that if im attacking another human, and

Hello, I got this game last night, and watched all the tuitorials on how to play. I went to sleep shortly after that. Now im trying to play, and when I go to rotate the camera, nothing happens. The tutorial said hold the middle mouse button, the only button in the middle for me is the mouse wheel(Which can be clicked, but it didn't work when i tried it). Is there some way to alter the controlls so that I can get this to work? Edit, mis-spelled camera.... twice...
