1. Please make sure all of the drivers for the hardware in your system are [b]up-to-date[/b]! 2. Visit www.impulsedriven.com and download/install IMPULSE (stardock's digital distribution system) through which you can update your game to the latest version. that should do it.
Contact [email protected] via email. Please be advised, support is off on weekends.
[quote who="Vulcanus5000" reply="2" id="1922796"]ok, i know how to forward ports but the only problem is i don't know what server ip address i have, but nvm i am downloaden the beta atm and my friend is also donwloading it so we can play online, is it definite that we won't have to do anything else then just host a new game?

[b]Using game version 1.0 - 1.05 (the latest non-beta version):[/b] You will need to learn how to forward ports through any NAT-ing network device (routers, cable/dsl modems functioning as routers, etc.) Please visit this sticky and find the link to my guide "Networking and SINS" (right at the bottom of the original post). Check the date on the file to make sure it's the correct guide (Feb 14th/08) In that guide I take you thr
ok......seriously... 1. The game does work "out-of-the-box". All of the updates since release have been for many reasons, some of which were obviously bug-fixes (how is this different from any other piece of software intended to be used on thousands of possible hardware/software configurations?) As far as the "hosting" goes. The box doesn't say that every joe out there will be able to host. Epic multiplayer does not depend on

I've entered my username, password (2x) and my cd key (with dashes), but the "ACCEPT" button is grey and won't read my click. I.e. it won't let me submit my data and I can't even begin to log in.

You can't. It's been posted several times in these forums, the way to do this is to ARCHIVE your 1.05 installation.......then upgrade to the beta. That way you can simply go back to the 1.05 archive if you wish. Of course one could also "copy" the 1.05 installation to another folder, and then update the original installation to the latest BETA. Either way works.
rgr ...will download and test sometime this weekend.
Whity2XLC, Please understand what Anny is saying. "Mini-dump" is a GENERIC term for "game crash". IT in itself is not a [u]bug[/u] but rather an indication that your game has crashed and contains some information which may help the DEVS determine [u]why[/u] your game has crashed. Since retail-release people's games have been crashing yes. But those crashes have been due to any number of different things including out-dated drivers and other OS
It's somwhere in the options...... (can also be set in your user.setting file located in Appdata - search for it)
I just re-make the group with the ships I want (excluding) the problem-child! ;)
Try (alt-tabbing) or running the game in "windowed-mode". Sounds to me like a firewall is asking for permission to allow SINS outbound traffic!
SageWon, well..if I can weigh in here... I've always thought (since retail version) that [u]some[/u] of the desync being experienced had to be related to "vast differences" between systems. I still believe that. I've also believed that [u]some[/u] desync issues (the network-related kind) might actually be aggravated by using the new netcode (Alloy). One job network hardware has (besides blocking things) is to ensure the right traffic gets to
To clarify. You are allowed (by the DEVS) to install and use SINS on two computers ([u]which you own[/u]) simultaneously! Those are the terms of the license.
Solam, Phalnax811 is correct. Every dell notebook I've ever owned has had a [b]FN[/b] (function key).....the FN on this key is usually BLUE/PURPLE and any "function" that you can toggle is also printed in the same colour on your keyboard. As Phalnax has stated, there should be "brightness up/down" function keys somewhere on your keyboard (usually the arrow keys, or around that area). So you'll need to hold down the FN key and then tap the brightness
[b]Budzey,[/b] Please download my guide "Networking and SINS" which will take you through the process (step-by-step). It can be found linked to right at the bottom of the OP of this sticky ! [b]AetheroToland,[/b] If you're having crashes (mini-dumps) with "custom maps" that isn't something to look to the DEVS to support. Please contact the map/mod maker. ;)
SINS only uses an additional core for texture pre-caching.....after that the game is all single-core.
Open Impulse Click the BLUE ORB at the upper left, and make sure "show pre-release versions" is checked. Done. :)
Well, I could be wrong....but emailing support never hurts! [e digicons];)[/e]

Please make sure you're entering all "-" (dashes) as well...... failing that.....please contact [email protected] thanks, the Monk
...need more info... what game version are you running? and if you're not on the latest version please update..... make sure all of your device drivers (ie. video and sound drivers etc.) are up-to-date.
Well you've certainly got enough RAM/CPU to handle some fairly large end-game scenarios.....I'm wondering if that's when it's crashing on you. You said in your OP......2.5hrs in? Is there more to that pattern? (ie. you're zoomed-in on a large fleet battle......etc.......)
Sounds like a firewall program is blocking/asking for permission in the "background". Can you alt-tab when it seems to "freeze" and see if a firewall is asking for permission to let SINS out? If you can't Alt-tab once the program "freezes", please try running the game in "windowed mode" untill you set the firewall permissions. thanks, the Monk
