Reply to minidump extravaganza in Technical Sins Forums

[quote]the Direct Downloaded version. No idea why I did think of that before until just now. But, possibly, are the people here who get minidumps (constantly like me not just random ones) have the Direct Download Version also?[/quote] There is no difference.

Perhaps I need to patch it I dont believe I have done that yet.

Reply to minidump extravaganza in Technical Sins Forums

[quote]Stardock needs to stop developing whatever the next game is and start actually "bug" testing the one they released. Poor release's and press by people who buy up front have been known to kill some "really" good games, and I honestly believe this one of those truly great games... IF I could get mine to WORK ![/quote] Your problem is not as common as you'd like to believe. I have had one crash in the entire time I've played the retail game.

Reply to Accumulated Build Orders, Strategies, And Associated Replays in Strategy Sins Forums

[quote]In your 4th TEC build, you mention that Illuminators don't get the bonus damage on light frigates, but in the in-game info card, it says they are strong against them. Is this a glitch in the game?[/quote] Yes - they do Anti-Capital damage, as opposed to the Anti-Medium damage done by the other races' LRs.

Reply to Accumulated Build Orders, Strategies, And Associated Replays in Strategy Sins Forums

[quote]I would request that the mods allow me to edit ALL my initial posts in this thread,[/quote] You want the mods to change the forum software for you? Micro is probably the most helpful. I've found that while a lot of players focus-fire the cap, a decent player ends up getting it out anyway and that you end up doing much more economic damage if you destroy his light frigates. With a repair station, he can be back on his feet relatively quickly, but without frigate support i

Reply to Sins of a Solar Developer in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

I was going to post something snarky and sarcastic but Pnakotus is pretty much dead-on. Developers shouldn't have to and don't cater to every request, and the "I'm not going to do any research, just blindly buy the game and then complain if the game doesn't have X feature" is reminiscent of another thread we had on here recently. Had it not had subtitles, you could have just asked nicely for someone to sub them or explain the game story anyway. It's a pretty arrogant attitude to make t

Reply to The Seven Deadly Sins No More! 14 Now! in Everything Else Sins Forums

[quote]On Islam: according to the Koran, the way a person gets to heaven is by being more good than they are bad (basically), kinda like catholics (not saying Muslims and catholics are the same, just drawing an analogy). The only way a Muslim can be 100% sure he's going to heaven (because Allah didn't bless them with a good-o-meter) is by killing infidels. Seriously, I kid you not. That is why there is a jihad and why Islam was known for centuries as "the religion of the sword". The big differen

Reply to RT4X - understanding what it means in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

[quote]build eco labs, do economy build first will mean sure death. I know a lot of people get away with it, but that is really due to the game being new and a lot of new players that are not agressive.[/quote] Exactly. You get _crushed_ on a single-star map if you go eco.

Reply to Abnormal memory usage? in Technical Sins Forums

[quote]The game will gladly use the memory available to it. Highest textures in particular will require large amounts of memory.[/quote] Ah, that makes sense. I'd expect less of that to go on in the system memory rather than the graphics card's memory, though. I suppose with the higher-res and detail it makes sense.

Changing the mesh does not change the entity type. You cannot add a weapon to a planet regardless of whether it's an asteroid, a dreadnought, or a balloon.
