Reply to Want to know why people pirate video games? in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

[quote who="Whiskey144" reply="255" id="2354955"]After reading through TEN (nearly eleven) pages of this, I can say that my BRAIN hurts. I do have some comments though- Pirateing=bad. I know that there's at least 2-3 people that will agree with me on this. I have no stomach for those who pirate games, and then buy them. To an extent. Thoumsin for example, has repeatedly noted that, while he did pirate Sins/Entrenchment, he has repeatedly tried to get the legal

[quote who="Darksxx" reply="26" id="2350178"]Let me make this as simple as I can, there IS NO Single player game OK? what you think is SP is not its Skirmish plain and simple. there is nNO story there is no Plot its Skirmish. Diplomacy in the MP realm for this game is pointless. But hey lets all play it like you all want and make an alliance with each other and guess what? Game over theres no point in playing anymore because now you have no one left to fight

I can bet my salary that even a quad core 3,5 GHz 8Gb ram machine will choke and die trying to do render all that lighting, particles, shadows and textures in a halfway finished medium-large game with 6 players having 200

Reply to I gave up on this game- FREQUENT FREEZES!!!! in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

My laptop specs, Intel Duo T2350 2GB DDR2 Intel GMA 950 - Fear its, um, fearsome power!!11! I play at all medium settings, though for the first couple of hours I can play at high, before the amount of ships forces me to downgrade settings. This is against 4 hard level AIs. The end game is laggy, but playable. I do not experience anything like what your describing. From what you describe, your PC is paging a lot. What do you have

Reply to AT&T blocks 4chan /b/ in Everything Else Sins Forums

Curious, did they also block that other chan board? Of all the chan boards, I'd figure that one would be the first. I don't agree with blocking 4chan, but that other one ... Yeah, I'd censor it. [e digicons]x_x[/e] There is just some shit that should never be tolerated. And please, don't try to defend what I'm talking about if you don't know what goes on there. 4chan was right in purging them.

Reply to Is stardock a publicly traded company? in Everything Else Sins Forums

On the plus side, not being a public company is a huge advantage in terms of what you (the owner) can do. Shareholders can be a RPITA, especially if they know little to nothing of the company they invest in. /my $0.02

Reply to How can you increase Torrent speed? in Everything Else Sins Forums

Torrents =/= Piracy. It's a good way to distrubute legal stuff (big pathes, Linux Distros). Torrents have been painted with the broadest brush possible, to the point when anyone says 'torrent' they assume you are pirating. [e digicons]#:([/e]

[quote]@Darvin3 Totally agreed with the theme song, wish there was some way we could change that, but I don't think mods work on the menu.[/quote] Go into your Sins main directory. Go to Sins/Sound folder Copy the file 'Opening Theme' Go to Sins/Entrencment/Sound folder Paste 'Opening Theme' overwriting the orginal. Make a backup of the Opening Theme if you so desire.

[quote who="takashi_k" reply="17" id="2295336"]This is unfortunate, as netbooks are a major market that they have available, which continues to grow. I spend more time away from home that at it, and am probably going to buy a netbook soon so I can compute without carrying much weight. It would be nice to be able to play Sins on it, too. I really love the game, and would love to take it with me. Would you rather me fall back on my DS for portable entertainment? Th

Reply to Sins and Windows 7 RC 64bit problem in Technical Sins Forums

I'll be blunt. You are running beta/RC OSes. You can't expect Stardock/IC to be 'fixing' a game for an OS that isn't even stable yet. Sounds reasonable, yes? Besides, I assume you are dual booting 7 with Vista or XP, right? Just play it on them until 7 is released. If you aren't dual booting and are running 7 as your primary OS, then thems the brakes of being on the bleeding edge.
