Reply to Will Multiplayer be Rejuvenated With 1.1 in Sins Multiplayer Sins Forums

[quote]Ahh yes, I would take great pleasure in attacking a dev or mod ingame to quell my frustrations with the design choices. Perhaps a quick defeat via a rush of some sort to really rub salt in to the wounds, followed by a quote from a few years back including the words 'rushing', 'will not bepossible', 'game design intent', 'the game we are making will...' [/quote] I bet you get your butt handed to you from rushing them ;)

Reply to Star Wars Mod in Sins Modding Sins Forums

[quote]Yeah. Republic, CIS, Empire, and Rebel Alliance. So you have your Venators duel with Bulwarks, and your Praetors smash their Lucrehulks.[/quote] My only question on this is game balance - surely alliance/empire ships should be stronger then rebulic/CIS ships due to being later. e.g. Star Destroyer much stronger then dreadnaught which was a reasonable clone wars ship... This either makes the later factions too strong, or the eras are not as they were due to balancing...

How many trekkies are there in the world - are there enough to support a movie no "normal" person would see??? :D

I played a game yesterday where one of the players reported that they were playing a "different" game to us - no mini-dump but they said they were out of sync based on what we were saying...

Reply to Black market - default sell price in Beta Feedback Sins Forums

I haven't so far... The point is that it takes me longer to change them - when I am trying to setup everything in that first minute until my scouts get to planets, it means I am on that screen for longer then a few seconds - it might not sound much, but it is time I can be doing something else in that frantic first minute... And I don't see the logic in making the change?

Reply to Impulse will not start in Technical Sins Forums

What was the issue, so others can learn how to fix the same issue if they have it?

Reply to Issue with multiplayer in Sins Multiplayer Sins Forums

Start button stays dark until everyone is ready... It probably will need at least two people as well (never payed attention to that, but it makes since you can't start a game without at least two players on seperate teams....)

Black market - default sell price in Beta Feedback Sins Forums

Why has the default price been changed from 100% to 50%? I always change price to 98% to get the business when I put resouces on the market, but as of 1.11, the game starts off at 50%. Why is this the case??? If I forget to change the values, I lose on income....

Reply to I'm stumped- Black Screen in Technical Sins Forums

[quote]Yeah that solution has worked twice for me now. Kryo if its possible, I think Sins should default to the window; not fullscreen, and there should be a configuration utility to access the graphic options without launching the engine.[/quote] No - it should start full screen - maybe have a comand line switch or something for windowed, but it should not force the majority that have no issue to start windowed.

Reply to Is ICO Down ? in Sins Multiplayer Sins Forums

OK - I think I fixed it - I had to open port 7000 on my firewall. Note to Stardock/Ironclad - you might want to update the FAQ online to mention this if this is required Also, this link doesn't work http://www.kiclan.com/Monk/Networking_for_the_Gamer_by_the_Monk.pdf

Reply to Q to devs: how much did impulse actually ease 1.10 distribution? in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

V1.11 is a clearly an example of how Impulse is a good idea - a 10 second update to fix the exploit without everyone having to download a patch that takes someone from either 1.0 or 1.05 to 1.11. Now if I could just play the game online - can't log into ICO for some reason... :(

Reply to Is ICO Down ? in Sins Multiplayer Sins Forums

I lost connection to ICO while in game under 1.05 a few times. I think it just means you won't get a win/loss recorded for that game... Still can't work out how to let Sins through my firewall without shutting it off - I have the port forwarded and everything (correctly I think...) There HAS to be some port or something that is getting blocked that does the ICO thing - but I can't work out why. I assume that the connection is made to port 7000 on my end, so my modem should all

[quote]Update: Appears Skaarj was a warez user. [/quote] I'm not going to question that you say he is, but I AM curious as to WHY you say this is? i.e. how did you determin he was a warez user (apart from heaps of bitching, which in and of itself could mean warez or could just mean having issues.... :D )

Reply to Is ICO Down ? in Sins Multiplayer Sins Forums

You can't change it - the information is for Blair etc... My computer is trying to connect to them (38.98.152.153) and something is not playing nice...

I have run a netstat -a -o -f - here is the output for the PID Sins is running under TCP 192.168.1.2:58506 38.98.152.153:7000 SYN_SENT 772 As I said, the out port keeps changing [EDIT] After waiting a few minutes and trying again TCP 192.168.1.2:58567 38.98.152.153:7000 SY

My machine cannot ping that address either (ico.stardock.com)

Reply to Is ICO Down ? in Sins Multiplayer Sins Forums

yes - here are my settings IcoServerAddress "ico.stardock.com" IcoServerPort 7000 I was just about to post that it is trying to do something to 38.98.152.153:7000 The port it tries to connect on my machine always changes - but seems to be in the range 57000-59999 give or take. I have no idea what has changed if anything on my end - all I know is that with firewall off I can get in, which is not something I can really do...

I'm still having no luck connecting.... [EDIT] Turning off my firewall (on my modem) allowed me access... However since I am not going to leave it like that, I am still trying to work out what is being blocked and where... Where's The Monk when I need him :D

The manual updates were only available as Impulse was not ready for distribution, so they provided them as an alternative. It is in the manual that Impulse is how Sins is updated...

[quote]The problem is back.[/quote] What exactly is the problem???

Reply to Is ICO Down ? in Sins Multiplayer Sins Forums

I emailed info@ironcladgames (couldn't find the support address on their website last night) with the same issue. When I logged in my game resolution was reset, so I fixed that and then went to log into ICO. It and forgotten my username, so I retyped it and the password and I get Disconnected from ICO error Version is 1.1 (as per bottom right hand corner). I was hosting games successfully (apart from when my PC's IP changed :) )

Reply to Sins of a Solar Empire Version 1.1 Now Available in Sins News Sins Forums

Is anyone having issues connecting to the game? I started up after upgrading and my account name was wiped in ICO - putting them back in (correctly I believe) gives me "Disconnect from ICO" error message. I also had to reset my resolution...
