Reply to game hard freeze in Technical Sins Forums

Kinusu, Someone else stated you're probably under-powering your rig with only a 500W psu, I'd like to say that I agree with that statement. However, more important that the total wattage of one's psu is the reliable power it can deliver to each independant component. Many case-included-psu's are terrible at doing that. All it takes is a slight "dip" in the power provided and "hard-freeze, re-boot, etc." Just something to look at. the Monk

Reply to game hard freeze in Technical Sins Forums

Have you considered: a weakened/dying PSU, faulty RAM, bad chip on the Mainboard, over-heating Hardware, a bad over-clock etc. ? How about disabling the AV (and all other anti-malware software) while playing the game? ...just a few suggestions.

Disable your AV/anti-malware programs. Just like other "installers", running AV while installing programs OFTEN causes problems. the Monk

Reply to Installer Crash in Technical Sins Forums

Sounds like a dying power-supply or some other hardware (mainboard) failure of some kind. Certainly not game-related. As the DVD spins-up and down during install, it is drawing more power from the psu, if the psu is failing it is entirely possible to experience this type of behaviour. thanks, the Monk

You will need to install IMPULSE (www.impulsedriven.com) SD's new distribution system in order to get the v1.1 BETA (v1.09) and beyond. In-game at the main menu, look at the version number at the bottom-right. thanks, the Monk

Reply to Impulse is far to buggy to rely on for patch installs in Beta Feedback Sins Forums

Might have been because you left your AV/anti-malware software on whilst trying to install. Most installers request that you have your AV software DISABLED during the installation process. Try it. I'm betting it works! :p the Monk

Reply to How to: see/connect-to/host SERVERS! in Technical Sins Forums

Bksabath, 1. As I replied to you earlier, you could just update to the 1.1 BETA (v1.09) via IMPULSE (download from www.impulsedriven.com). The new BETA has "optional netcode" which tunnels past routers/firewalls (like Hamachi) and doesn't require any port-forwarding etc. 2. If you don't want to use the BETA of 1.1 (v1.09) and would rather stay on version 1.05 then you will need to go back through my guide and see which steps you missed/didn't complete correctly. You could b

Reply to IP not visible in Beta Feedback Sins Forums

uriel, In version 1.1 BETA (v1.09) you do not need to "forward or open" any ports on your router. The reason people are seeing "IP not visible" in the Hosting Test, is because most routers and firewalls block ICMP requests (PING). It's not an issue because as you will see in [link="https://forums.sinsofasolarempire.com/319195"]this thread[/link] you can ignore said message and host without problems. thanks, the Monk
