I had a similar dump with 1.14 then I checked my progr files galaxy folder and found 1 map that I had not removed. I suggest checking all of the files in the galaxy folders and remove all maps other than originals hope this helps harpo
I have had the same problems, the fix that worked is as blair said REMOVE ALL CUSTOM MAPS & mods from both the docs & settings/user galaxy AND the program files galaxy harpo {edit} the maps have changed and added new line in relation to the new quickstart ability that the devs added, and they forgot to change the versionnumber because of the significant change in the file structure of the galaxy file [edit 2] the devs have also added an explicit starting level

[quote who="Foppio" reply="6" id="2066978"]Sins version 1.0.0.1 and Galaxy Forge 1.0.0.0. Yep, , I think I see the problem. I've been playing a friends copy to see if I want to throw down the money on a new game. I guess I should any up and buy the thing. If there is a situation where someone can be too frugal, I'm it. I found Sins while looking for something to replace "Pax Emperia" and "Masters of Orion 2" as the game I will go back to for the next ten years. I'll give

ratchit yourinstrctions will only show the original maps & any galaxy forge maps, BUT WILL NOT show the map designer maps which are in the galaxy folder next to the mods folder ie sins options mods show mod path(eg C:\Documents and Settings\"user name"\Local Settings\Application Data\Ironclad Games\Sins of a Solar Empire\mods) then open the folder in galaxy forge C:\Documents and Settings\"user name"\Local Settings\Application Data\Ironclad Games\Sins of a Solar Empire\galaxy and you will

the best advice is to email stardock and give them all info about where you bought the copy the email for stardock is support at stardock.com harpo

regarding the powersupply the 650w only has 2 pcix 6/8pin plugs and EACH geforce9800gt card requires 2 plugs so you NEED the 750w supply, but in sins sli does not help and can cause difficulties from all of the troubleshooting treads in the forum. the actual power requirements calulate at less that 650w but the power connectors is critical, and the spare headroom in the psu is a VERY GOOD IDEA. hope this helps harpo
does each player have a home world? is the version the same as your sins ie 1 for sins 1.05 , 2 for 101+ & entrenchment? have you put the debug settigs in you settings file? hope these questions help harpo

most of the 9800gt's are doubleslot . for power supply capacity I would suggest atleast 750w for SLI for single card 600-650w the singleslot cards that I have seen are the 7,8,9600gt and lower but all mbs available give a 2 slot width for the 16x pciex slots even the sli & trisli boards harpo
