greetz SINS community. has anyone been able to get SINS to fit in a 1024x600 screen resolution? My netbook has an Intel 945GMA and suffucant RAM to run the game. i forced the res in the settings config file but the app doesnt want to scale down to the 600 height. any suggestions or is it just not possible?
change nothing, only play ai and you will be happy just like me.
[quote who="Tom Porter" reply="21" id="2057778"]If the heaviest loaded core is sitting at 80% or less then look at these candidates. 1. How are your machines communicating? 2. How powerful are the video cards? I would be surprised if an all human MP game were to experience slowdowns; other than those caused by lag issues or poor video card issues. If all of the players are human then the host is mo

we arent saying the multi core is tied to the expansion, only certain fixes for memory handling in long games.
generally thats a bad idea, if you are referring to going into processes, right clicking the sins exe and upping it priority. i've seen that essentially lock machines. i will just wait for Entrenchment.
[quote who="Uranium - 235" reply="2" id="2056022"]Given that the latest Entrenchment patch eliminated nearly all stuttering and late-game slowdowns, and was tied to memory useage, I'm going to submit that the slowdowns in your case aren't because of the CPU bottleneck, but insufficient RAM. [/quote] if this is the case, then i will wait around for Entrenchment to show up since I dont use the beta. as for RAM, i have 2gb already and its not being fully utilized by SIN
I use both Impulse and Steam. I happens that my newest games are all on Impulse. Seeing competition in markets is very important to me. Steam has secured its place in the gaming world with its products and services. Impulse is innovative and carries its own business goals into the fray. This will make for an interesting battle in the years to come. <span style="font-size: 7.5p
future feature request, stardock.... include a setting option to censor the content. ;)
The ONLY thing that I really want to change about the game is the "Let's kick some ___" voice clip on the Marza. Is there an easy way to change it? I would even use one of the other Marza audio clips if it could work.
Which eats more of your time? Facebook, Myspace, or the SINS forum.
At one point SINS would only use multiple processing cores for the initial load of some of the graphics (correct me if im wrong). Is this still the case? Is there any hope in pushing part the battle/movement calculations onto the second core? Game speed on giant maps still progressively gets slower for me. Doesn't really seem like a video issue...maybe Im wrong.

we learned a looong time ago to only play on the same team. CS taught us that lesson.
i finally got mine a couple weeks back. space ponies mean only one thing to me...i have now officially played SINS waaay too much.
title says it all. after nearly a year, my wife has now played two full games of SINS with me. she is so freaking awesome! woot SINS.
whew, glad its still in beta ;)
1) no one made you pre-order 2) as a tester IRL, i dont want software i test to tank on someone as soon as its installed, as a consumer, i dont want that either 3) show a little support. stardock has taken a bold stance on SINS with copy protection and the fairly open nature of their staff and application. give them some credit. if they say its not ready, then its not ready.
Enders Game by Orsen Scott Card is in the works. It may or may not come through. There are lots of difficulties around making it happen. How do you find a 7 year old that can act like a military genius. Battleroom etc. Another Card book was specifically written for different media types called Empire. Its also a fun little read. It would easily conver to a movie.
is that a stock install of sins? if not, or if you have used mods, uninstall and remove anything you can find related to the game. reinstall and test again. if the error persists, then its not the game. more than likely you have a software conflict with an antivirus app or memory resident app. it could also be your windows install of course.
updated 1.1 is in beta right now. beyond that there may be expansions. if you want more try some of the mods that have been developed. :)
i beleive they do stack. i have seen the ai use as many as 3 in a grav well. someone please correct me if im wrong.
:) better yet, they drop of out phase space speed. then crawl to their destination.
what happens if a phase gate is destroyed before the fleet using it arrives?
dont forget that its a beta. i work professionally in software qa and i can tell you, that things will get frustrating for you on every release.
small random map. won the game and continued to take out the pirates. not a single artifact in the game, but one was happily waiting for me on the pirate outpost.
