Reply to Most of the fanboys always buy something at the start... Spore has few drm fanboys. in Everything Else Sins Forums

In my opinion UBIsoft is worse. Personally, I'd rather have some DRM to contend with rather than the buggy shit UBI puts on store shelves. I can't ever forgive them for what they've done to the R6 franchise. Having played the R6 games since the very first Rainbow Six, I've seen that franchise ground into the dirt by UBI. The last "playable" R6 game was Raven Shield, and even that had it's bugs... DRM over game-breaking bugs anyday! Now, in a

Reply to Sins fatal error problem in Technical Sins Forums

Is this happening before you get to the "main menu"? Are you perhaps trying to load a save-game from a previous game-version? That will break things....hehe Game-saves are not valid across game-versions... Also, if you have a MOD enabled to "load at start" and it's not compatible with the game-version you're running it can cause the above behaviour. thanks, the Monk

1. "Multiplayer" is used for LAN games only. 2. "IronClad Online" is where you create your "online player" (add player......after loggin in) and create, join games. If you're on game version 1.05 (game-versions are shown at the bottom right when in-game at the menu) you'll need to download my guide "Networking and SINS" (for port-forwarding information) which can be found <a href="/17

Reply to Install Error in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

Since you've obviously purchased the game, you could install IMPULSE ( www.impulsedriven.com ), which will be required to get the game updates past version 1.05 anyway......and install the game via download through Impulse.

Yes, you "save" the game (hit "menu" then "save" while in-game). Then on another day you "load" the saved game when your're hosting. Done. :)

Firewall or other anti-malware/security software "silently" blocking in the background? Try running in "windowed-mode" to see if you're missing a pop-up. thanks, the Monk

No, no way around that other than having two different game-versions installed on your machine. Once you've updated a to a newer version all saves from an older version are invalid. thanks, the Monk

Reply to How to: Configure your network/router/PC for TPM '08 ONLINE MP! in TPM Multiplayer Stardock Forums

If you can host a game (and people can in fact join you) then you're set up the way you need to be. The "message" you are referring to is pretty general and is probably being triggered because you've got WAN ping-response or IDENT blocked on your router (neither of which will stop you from hosting/joining). thanks, the Monk

You may install two copies of SINS on two machines you own. Those are the terms of the license as far as I know. :) (ie. each SINS license is a two-seat license)

Reply to Network Error: Disconnected from Ironclad Online in Sins Multiplayer Sins Forums

Don Nico, Since your "trace" (tracert) keeps dropping at the same "hop" it sounds to me like something is blocking [u]or[/u] dropping parts of your "outbound" connections somewhere along the way. Are you sure you don't have some firewall/security software on your system blocking something? Would you understand what I mean if I were to suggest you modify your PC's ROUTE statement? (ie. adding a custom ROUTE to ICO's server?) If you
