First of all... If you're planning to host, please note that you will have to forward all relevant game traffic through/past any NAT devices (routers) over to your PC. You can find the link to download my guide "Networking and SINS" linked-to from within the "original post" of [link="https://forums.sinsofasolarempire.com/174313"]this thread[/link] right under the GREEN writing. Having said that, If you're only interested in joining other people's games here's

Reply to In MP Online Mode, What Does "Team" Mean to You? in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

Unfortunately that is true of most "public" online play in any game these days. I would suggest finding a few people you enjoy playing with, who have the same ideal in mind. I believe there is a "Multiplayer Organizer" forum here somewhere in which you could post a request for like-minded players to contact you. :) I doubt you're alone. the Monk

Reply to WHATS THE POINT OF MP? in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

[QUOTE]What's the point in playing Multi-Player if you can't host a game. It's ridiculous that you have to go in and make complicated adjustments just to be able to host or join a game.

1. Everything is running smoothly when there are hardly any ships or econ updates to process.....so that's normal 2. After two hours there are probably hundreds of ships to take care of and hundreds of econ updates to prcocess so there will be a noticable slowdown.....also normal What is your pagefile set to?

It's in the FAQ! You know know the big red button on the top bar! :d Having said that, more than likely that won't work and you'll have to wait for the NAT-T (NAT traversal) "tunneling" netcode of version 1.1 before you'll be able to host. Also, you do know that TCP 6000 is already in use by SINS for ICO. thanks, the Monk P.S. Putting in some (even a very little) of effort in finding your answers [u]before[/u] posting would be the

You're welcome. Yes I would definately think that AI having to be crunched on some "lesser" hardware could have created the scenario you were experiencing.

1. The make sure device drivers for everthing in their system (ie. Mainboard chipset, sound, video etc. ) are [u]all[/u] up-to-date. 2. They turn graphical settins down....and possibly play on smaller maps. 3. They invest in more RAM. SINS seems to love upwards of 1GB of RAM, and since RAM is cheap these days..... I have also found (in testing SINS with various hardware/software and OS configs) that the old adage of setting one's pagefile to at least 2.5

Well you can "believe" that it would be simple enough to "allow" previous saves to work, however belief does not constitute reality. :) Comparing games when the only similarities they may share is on the surface (ie. they're all RTS's) isn't fair either. There is [u]no[/u] standard for software developement which means no two pieces of software can every be truly "compared". I realize it may be frustrating, however please realize that given game-design what you believe to
