There are known problems with saving Achievements and Achievement Items. We are working with GPG to correct these and hope to have this problem resolved this week.

We've done a few tweaks with Favor points today on the server to help out until we get the ingame issues corrected: 1) When a favor item is purchased and reported to the server we are not saving the data for the purchase. So this means that your FavorPoints should not decrement for right now. 2) There were a few cases where some peoples Favor points were in the negative numbers. We have recent those accounts to have 150 Favor points.
Both Stardock and GPG are responsible for the stats. GPG (Demigod) creates and sends data to Stardock via Impulse. Stardock stores the data and returns data back to Demigod. Stardock is also responsible for calculating the rankings and statistics and displaying the stats on the web page. There have been issues on both ends of the spectrums and both teams have been working equally hard to try and solve all the issues. Unfortunately at times fixing
I have just made a tweak to the match making system to try and limit the chances of getting in a 2v1 match. But its not entirely possible where it could happen based on skill levels.
MatchMaking waits for almost 2 minutes before adding any AI Players. We dont want people to wait forever to get into a match so there is a cutoff point on how long we will let someone wait. So if you are getting AI Players it means that either you or the other player has been waiting a long time and there are not enough players in the queue to make an acceptable match. And we are continueing to tweak the match making system to make it better.
The Metaverse is now back online. We apologize for the downtime as we were experiencing some technical difficulties while shuffling servers around.
[quote]If you play Pantheon you'll lose all your favor items and points. I avoided it for a week, then decided to play it today, and lost 5000 favor worth of items. [/quote] liq3, did you have your favor points and items at the beginning of the Pantheon match? Just curious if you lost them from the start of Panetheon or at the End of the Pantheon game.
[quote]On a personal note--Pat--you sure look a lot different than when you were 19 at our Microworld days!!! LOL. I guess we all do.[/quote] Hey Marv! Yes, I've gained a little weight and the hair has gone grey and is thinning. And it's been so long since I've seen you I doubt that I would recognize you if we bumped into each other on the street.
Just to let everyone know. We will be resetting all Pantheon stats probably either today or in the next couple of days. Since there was quite a bit of junk data in there we want to get a fresh look at the data. And of course, we will be resetting the data again on launch day.
Absolutely yes.
I believe I finally have this problem fixed. However, just to note, it will be possible to have matches where it is 3v2 or 4v2 depending on the skill level of the players involved. But you definitely shouldn't see the problem where there wasnt any players on the other team.
I've finally finished with the major maintenence portions now. So my fingers are crossed hoping that I didnt break to much. And if I did, I'm sure Jafo or ID will promptly let me know.
t0nedude, It appears that your order experience was a fluke or a bug in the system. We really are not sure what happened. If you could send a copy of your receipt to [email protected] that could help us identify the problem. However, you do have a serial number and registration in your Sins of a Solar Empire but I do not see any any purchase or registration records for Entrenchment in your account. Perhaps you placed y
Wow....Haven't heard that name in years! Hows it going Mr Ed. And by the way, the name of my bbs was King Arthur's Court. T-Man (aka BlackBeard)
You are welcome. ;)
If you received an email and the theme hasn't shown up yet, please wait as some emails were sent out prematurely. The job to add the theme to your accounts is still running and will take about 2-3 more hours to complete.
Sorry about that. Looks like the files didn't get synced up to one of our servers. Please try again.
Unfortunately we don't have a good answer yet. We are still investigating the problem but have been unable to reproduce the problem. I did make a tweak to one of our servers that I feel could be problematic and hope that helps but am unsure at this point. Also, If there is any additional error information in your error logs please post that information here.
Hello Starhaus, I have looked into this issue and it appears the problem is that you have two accounts with different email addresses. And you are attempting to register Sins with the incorrect address. Please use your with respect address and everything should work properly. I have also sent you an email (to both email addresses) explaing this.
If you do not see the Halloween theme in Impulse then the 2 most likely causes are: 1) You do not have an active Object Desktop or WinCustomize subscription, therefore you did not receive a registration for it. 2) You are logged onto Impulse with a different account than to which the registration was assigned. If you have multiple accounts or email address with Stardock please try your account accounts or contact [email protected]
They are actually still in moderation. For some reason someone must of accidentally approved them (which send the email) and then they put them back in the moderation queue.
[quote]Edit button does not edit post, it only makes another post.[/quote] I'm not seeing this. Can you please provide URL's as examples and steps to reproduce.

Wondering if it has anything to do with all of this, thanks! [/quote] Most likely this was a res
I think we have all the wrinkles ironed out now. Please let us know if you still see any problems with the site.
[quote]did you all get hacked? everytime i click on my shortcut to your site it goes to some doofus's personal page saying he owns wincustomize...[/quote] No. Server issues. We are still getting everything back up and running properly. We should have that issue fixed shortly. [quote]It's not completely back up. I still can't access anyone's personal pages. [/quote] Personal pages should be coming back now.
After reading through everyones responses I have a suspicion that the problems may be relating to a single server of ours. The irc server also is home to a few other services which could impact the WinCustomize main site as well as the forums. Though it doesn't make sense why some experience the problems and others do not. I don't know if it's just a routing issue or some other problem. I have brought this attention to others here to get some new ideas so hopef
