Reply to Demigod Fails to Run (NOT COMODO/QUICKCAM ISSUE) in Demigod Technical Support Demigod Forums

I've tried completely shutting down Comodo and disabling it at startup, then rebooting, and it still won't run. I'm not sure how uninstalling it would make any more of a difference. If it's not running it shouldn't be interfering with anything. Others have the game running with Defense+ just disabled, so I'm thinking that that isn't the real issue. There may be more than one issue preventing it from running, but I haven't found any workaround that gets it to even run o

It won't launch through Impulse either for me. Tried every suggestion I've seen so far. No luck.

I don't even have a cam, or any other Logitech stuff. I don't have Skype either. I completely shutdown Comodo, disabled it at startup, and rebooted. Still have the same problem. It won't launch.

I'm having the same problem. Windows XP SP3. No logitech anything, and Comodo is shutdown and disabled at startup, and Windows firewall is disabled as well. I had to do the desktop shortcut thing, and it made the Activation dialog pop up finally. That never happened when I tried running it from Impulse or via the start menu shortcut. So I enter my info to activate and it says this: "The activation program could not communicate with the server. T

Same problem here. I'm running Comodo Firewall as well. It's never caused me any trouble with any other games though, so not sure why it's a problem. I shut it down, but still can't get the game to launch. Verified the installation and it says it's installed correctly. I just bought it an hour or so ago, but can't even play it... this sucks.

Reply to Entrenchment Beta 2 Change Log in Beta Feedback Sins Forums

I'm still concerned about the range of starbases. While they should be significantly more effective against fleets given the new weapon bank changes, those changes will only matter if the fleet gets within range of them. The phase destabilization helps some, but I'm not sure it helps enough. Can't wait to give the new version a shot though. Edit: And since I just noticed that the update is out now, I don't have to wait to try it :)

[quote who="ZimatDeltaHalo" reply="4" id="1995347"]I have a few thoughts regarding mines. First, I agree that mines as they are in this game just don't work as they are and need major reconsideration. I have thought long and hard about this and this is what I came up with. 1. Mines in space should not be used like today's naval minefields. It works fine for mining narrow straits and harbors in waterways on earth, but in a 3D space (even though Sins is n

Reply to Getting rid of mine fields? in Beta Feedback Sins Forums

I don't like the idea of adding a whole new ship for mine clearing. I'd rather see upgrades added for the existing ships like the scout, flak and (TEC) Cielo cruiser that would let you have them work together. Scout spots the mines, and can be upgraded to increase detection range. Flak can be made to take out mines faster, so paired with a scout it could help clear fields quicker. Cielo is used for targetting, so giving it a new ability to let nearby fleet ships

[quote who="Starhound" reply="22" id="1993668"] As a defensive structure they need to cost tactical slots just like turrets and hangar bays. A mine field cap per grav well would be a much worse limitation. What if I wanted to have a system that looked undefended but is actually heavily mined with all tactical slots filled by mines. A flexible cap is much better than x mines / location. It's just about balancing the size/cost of the minefields.[/quote] If you want it to

Reply to Entrancement opinion thread, what can people suggest to make it better? in Beta Feedback Sins Forums

I don't see why we need anything more than a simple cap on mines per grav well, and some improvements to mine-clearing abilities and AI mine avoidance. Seems like that would solve all of the issues aside from the use of minelayers as offensive suicide weapons, which probably needs more balancing as well. I do think that improvements in the mine patterns are needed too. They need to be much more precise. This would also mean we'd need fewer mines overall to create eff

[quote who="Starhound" reply="20" id="1992917"]Another really annoying thing about mines is that when you give your fleet a move order, the ships make huge freaking arcs left and right to turn around, driving right into visible minefields. You simply can't take your fleet close to a minefield and move away without half the fleet happily suiciding. Other than that, the simplest solution to the mine spamming is limiting them to one minefield per ship or squadron. And making TEC minef
