1. Are all your device drivers up-to-date? 2. Were you running a custom MOD or MAP? EDIT: I just re-read your post and have a "clarification" question. Are we to understand the you "mini-dumped" while you were chatting in the lobby?

Sounds like a mouse-driver issue to me.... Then again, since you yourself say "...it's done bizarre things before,..." it could be any number of additional things...

I don't think you can get the 1.1 BETA (v1.09) via SDC...... anything past v1.05 is IMPULSE-only (at least that is the impression I am under at the moment :) ) thanks, the Monk

[quote]There was a similar report as well a little while ago. Are you playing with Alloy enabled?

[quote]I'm confused. I am logged in with the same account I used to buy sins. I downloaded fresh, and the "show pre-release versions" option is greyed out. I have confirmed it is registered........[/quote] Might IMPULSE have been in the middle of "updating" itself? All options will be "greyed-out" or unavailable during this time.

[b]Bksabath[/b], 1. Your own network/PC setup is [u]your[/u] responsibility. IronClad/Stardock have no responsibility with regard to your own network/PC.

When you say you've "opened" those ports, I'm assuming you mean on a software firewall on your PC. If you're behind a router (or a dsl/cable modem which also functions as a router) you'll need to "forward" the traffic on those ports to your PC as it's not even getting to your PC at the moment. Only "opening" the ports on your PC is HALF of the step you need to complete. Please download the guide I linked-to in the following thread: [link="https://forums.politicalmachi

If you've recently updated your game to a newer version and the MOD hasn't been updated by the MOD-maker you are definately in for some issues...

redwing26, Just like everyone has the right to ask a question. Everyone reading that question has the same right to respond (as long as neither violates said forum's TOU). I answer many questions on these forums each day, I felt yours was rather trivial considering the availablility of [u]all[/u] previous "changelogs" etc. So.....I stuck in a light "jab", linked you to the "Beta Feedback" forums and left it at that. ;) done. the Monk

I'm afraid it looks like you have your answer already. Your only recourse is to insist on a "complete" copy from EB Games or demand a refund? Game stores have been known to remove CD-keys etc. from games (some even going so far as to reseal the copies after the fact). I don't buy from EB games anymore (had one too many bad experiences there myself).

If you're running game version 1.05 or less, the step-by-step is linked-to immediately under the GREEN writing in the OP of [link="https://forums.sinsofasolarempire.com/174313"]this thread[/link]. You can optionally get IMPULSE (Stardock's new distribution system) from www.impulsedriven.com and download the BETA for 1.1 (which is game version 1.09) with the new optional netcode allowing hosting with no router/network configuration. The choice is yours. :) <b

It's something you research. For each race it's at a different tier on the research tree. TEC - Worm Hole Navigation Advent - Worm Hole Passage Vasari - Worm Hole Stabilization All you had to do was take a closer look at your research trees !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

gas_of_doom, Please put "Beta Feedback" in the Beta Feedback forum. By the way, had you looked at the [link="https://forums.sinsofasolarempire.com/forum/440"]Beta Feedback[/link] forum you would have noticed the "carrier bug" was reported by P5yy ([link="https://forums.sinsofasolarempire.com/319193"]his thread[/link])the day the Beta was released! ;) thanks, the Monk

Muse98354, It has been stated many times now on these forums by the DEVS that all further patches (bonus material) will be via IMPULSE only! If you choose not to run Impulse (and install any additional software it may require) then you are also choosing to not get any further "bonus material". :) the Monk
