Please update your game to (at least) the latest official version which is v1.05 (there is a BETA 1.1 version v1.096 out but it's not necessary to update to the BETA). You'll need to install IMPULSE (stardocks new digital distribution system) which can be found at ( www.impulsedriven.com ) in order to update your game to version 1.05 and any future versions.
Are you by chance using an adapter to downgrade the DVI-out signal on your video card to the standard analogue VGA for the CRT monitor? Have you tried using a different adapter? They are pretty cheap and a "bad one" could easily be the issue here. By the way, the anti-aliasing could be being "forced" by your driver settings (driver control panel). Please check to make sure it's set to "off" or "applic
I would definately try that. There had been other reports on these forums about (the text especially) being fuzzy in SINS with anti-aliasing turned on.
What kind of video card are you running SINS with? It could be that your video card isn't quite compatible with SINS. Also, please make sure you're running the latest driver for your particular video card.
[quote], i can't figure out what my CD-KEY is, [/quote] Youre CD-KEY is a series of letters or numbers seperated by dashes (-). [quote] and if you can help me can you tell me where CD-Key is???[/quote] You should be able to find it among the packaging the game came with (ie. on the back of the CD sleeve?) Where did you buy your copy of SINS? If you bought it from a store and there really isn't a a KEY anywhere in the packaging you should re
MrBao, what happens if you disable "anti-aliasing" in OPTIONS >> VIDEO? does the problem persist? thanks, the Monk
that's just it......since we know video isn't being taxed (at least not video setups like yours....I'm jealous..hehe) it has to be the "calculations-per-second" scenario. In other words, unless more of these calculations can somehow be performed [i]simultaneously[/i] we just have to make the engine "do less". [e digicons]:\[/e]
Sins is not multi-core after the initial texture caching has taken place. After that it's happily single-core. Since the game engine is so scalable (ie. can be made to run even on the lowest of systems) it also stands to reason that one might be able to push the engine to the point of lagging even on high-end systems. Don't have such huge fleet battles, and/or don't zoom in on those "large" fleet battles.... A game such as SINS is all &qu

damn.....thought counting myself among the ranks of the "codgers" wouldn't be for quite some time......but if that's all it takes guess I was wrong! [e digicons];P[/e]

Yes, effectively they are the same except that the hard-copy will still be back at version 1.0 and the download will be at the current 1.05 version. Yes if you install from the disc you will need to download and install IMPULSE, register your game with stardock in order to patch-up. You will also be able to re-download as many times as you need. :) the Monk
1. You need to make sure you've got IMPULSE (the software) installed and running 2. Click the "key" icon at the upper right within IMPULSE and verify that your registration information for SINS is there (ie. your e-mail address tied to your CD-Key) 3. Then by clicking the "My Games" tab you should see the option to install/update SINS. the Monk
That means the something is preventing connection from your PC to ICO.....plain and simple. software firewall blocking out-going SINS somewhere? Some firewalls require re-exemption when a program's .exe changes (which would be the case when you patched the game). thanks, the Monk
Visit ( www.impulsedriven.com ) and download IMPULSE (stardock's new digital distribution system) and register and download/install the game directly from stardock. As long as you have a valid cd-key and register it with stardock you'll be able to download/install it. You might as well do it via IMPULSE because all patches will require Impulse to be installed anyway. :) the Monk
What Anny is saying is..... After you've installed the game, perform the following steps: (btw...be careful when in the system registry, [u]do not ever[/u] delete/change anything in your registry if you're "not exactly adept with PC's" :) ) 1. Navigate to the system registry editor (START >> RUN >> REGEDIT >> ENTER) 2. Check the "tree" on the left and expand it (along the proper "branches") until you g
Could you perform a "trace" from your PC the next time this occurs? 1. Navigate to the "command-prompt" (ie. START >> RUN >> CMD >> ENTER) 2. type "tracert 38.98.152.153" at the command-prompt and then hit "enter" This will "trace" the connection from your PC to ICO's IP and should show you where the connection is getting dropped along the way. thanks, the Monk

I can't say I've experienced that so much as my 3 teens using l33t-speak (or whatever it happens to be called these days!) I've taken to fighting fire with fire though, and my three kids are now known as..... noob nooblet and nub! ...around the house anyway! hehe (I have on occasion "slipped" while in public...)

While you may have researched things already and won't need to re-research them should the research buildings be destroyed and then rebuilt, you [u]will not[/u] be able to build things that are dependent on research if you don't have the required buildings.
Sounds like you'll need to contact [email protected] via email.
? that doesn't make sense. If you're both running the same game-version (neither with any MODS or custom maps) you should both have the exact same maps.
CenturionJixra, I think we're thinking the same thing......just arriving at the gate via different paths. ;) I completely agree with your post.
As talked about in this other desync thread I do think the new netcode may be making [i]certain types[/i] of mp game desync situations worse. It would be interesting to test the following one evening with [u]the same six[/u] players: (3v3's seem to stress the engine a whole lot more than a 2v2) 1. Have each player running 1.1 BETA. Try a map with a 3v3 and save the replay (even if it doesn't crash)
Maybe one of you has a MOD enabled? Or a custom map installed?
Can you verify that you've got the latest Windows Installer version? You could go to the MS site and get the latest version if you're not sure. (fyi......if you haven't already you should always keep your OS up-to-date with all of the latest patchest, service packs etc.)
