Issue with Marsdaq/Metaverse Player Win/Loss Records in Offworld Trading Company Offworld Forums

It appears that player details on Marsdaq/Metaverse has been broken since roughly this past Wednesday. New wins and losses since then are shown correctly on the ladder . But if you click on a player and look at the detailed win/loss record for each Season 3 HQ type, wins and losses don't add up to the total wins and losses reported on the Season 3 ladder (if the player's played since Wed).

Reply to A Tournament Edition: The whitepaper in Escalation Dev Journals Stardock.net Forums

As someone who almost exclusively plays RTS in multiplayer, I really like this idea. And am glad to see ideas to support the multiplayer community in Ashes. Personally, I'd prefer if Tournament Edition were a bit more expensive and had more features (MP bots, ability to buy DLC, skirmish if the MP community dies). But if Tournament Edition owners can upgrade to the full Escalation game (minus the cost of Tournament Edition), then this move makes sense and seems like a good on

really like the texturing. especially on what looks like the corrected Valkyrie model. How did you get that anyway? (rhetorical question). is it too early to ask: can I use the new textures/models when they are done? feel free to use anything from the Colonials on Sins of a Sci-Fi Multiverse (if you haven't already, one or two of those capital abilities look familiar [e digicons];)[/e] )

New Question: I am currently working on music for a mod and am running an issue: race specific music is playing for all races. I completely replaced all the original Sins music in SoundMusic.sounddata, and then cleared Game.musicdata so it had no tracks listed. All the music calls currently come from the player.entity files. The tracks in the player.entity files are partially unique and partially overlapped. so, for example: music_race1_batt

Reply to Play a mod multiplayer? in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

Short answer: yes. Just make sure that the checksums for the mod match up before you start and, as a rule of thumb, don't play above high graphics settings. Some mods will bump Sins above the 2GB "hardcoded" memory limit which will result in an immediate minidump.
