Reply to Demigod: Another well-polished success story published with the Stardock business model. in PC Gaming Demigod Forums

[quote who="SlyDrivel" reply="9" id="2323942"]Update: the game runs slowly online with my laptop, but it runs fine on my $500 desktop. Also, the online servers are full of people who have really fast, expensive computers and bad attitudes. They really showed me that they were white collar professionals rather than people who work for a living (I mean that literally, although it's a bigoted assumption) when I tested it on my laptop through a wireless router. Ah well, it'll wor

Reply to Cant find games on the ICO game list in Technical Sins Forums

You can only see/join a game that matches the version you are playing - hence vanilla cannot see join entrenchment and entrenchment cannot see/join vanilla. However u can see in the top right that people are logged in and that a game is available (ergo u need to switch exe)

Reply to Vasari weapons discussion. in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

I used to be able to win with Vassari. Now I can hardly avoid being rolled. Have I lost my touch, has the community gotten that much better or has the patching screwed them over??? I can't counter illums as it is with my LRF, and the advent have better econ then vassari (and don't give me the neutral BS - that is a hit an miss proposition - advent always have good econ due to the prog colony abiliity) The weapon issue just becomes more relavent now as the vassari struggle more

Reply to Multiplayer speed/pause features lacking? in Sins Multiplayer Sins Forums

Star Wars Rebellion had this ability. You could play head to head - the game ran at the slowest requested by either party. Now assume this happened for a 5v5 - it would always run at the slowest speed as there would always be someone somewhere in the game who didn't want it running quick as they were micro managing something...

Reply to Problem With Lanning Online in Demigod Connectivity Help Demigod Forums

Sounds like you are using the same ports - one of you needs to change the range Impulse uses - run the ImpulseReactor exe and change the range - e.g. one of you runs say 6001-6021 and the other runs 6022-6042 (I think those numbers are right - they are off the top of my head...)

Reply to So Sins is broken, a patch anytime soon? in Beta Feedback Sins Forums

[quote]someone tell me what beats few guardians few flak and assload of illuminators?[/quote] MB IF you play someone who doesn't know how to counter it/just sits there That doesn't help vassari much however, and requires TEC to try and fend off advent and keep the ship alive with AM until it hits lvl6

[quote]Anger turns to frustration, frustration turns to hate, hate turns to the dark side....[/quote] fear is the path to the dark side. fear leads to anger. anger leads to hate. hate leads to suffering In this case, my suffering is at the hands of advent illums - ever since the last 2 patches, I can't win with Vassari unless I outplay my opponent by a major amount - the illums make up for their lack of skill, balanced fleet etc...

[quote]Yes, that is really strange. And since an AUD price of 26.04 doesn't make any sense as a price set by a publisher, something must be screwed on the impulse site.[/quote] US price converted to Australian based on an arbitary exchange rate (not sure how often it is updated...)

Reply to Can't log in. in Demigod Connectivity Help Demigod Forums

Impulse won't let you log into the game if it thinks you have logged in already to stop people sing same account. I have been "locked" out with this message when the game crashes twice in quick succession - my username and password are valid but I get that message. Looking through logs, you find out what really is going on. After a few minutes I can log in again (having changed nothing)...

Reply to Serial number Problem, Please reply. in Technical Sins Forums

The game licence states that it cannot be transferred. So if you DID buy the game second hand, technically uou are not allowed to use the serial number to login and get patches and play MP. If you are lucky Stardock and/or IC may help you out anyway. As a general warning - don't buy PC games used and expect to be able to use the serials - it is becoming more and more common for this to be the case as products like Impulse allow a person to download the game - hence they can buy the ga

Just to confirm - he is out producing you because he is building more/better ships right? Not because you can't build anymore as you have run out of fleet supply?

Reply to Ah, back to Galactic Civilizations love in GalCiv Journals Sins Forums

Is the bug being fixed where one of the maps is unwinnable unless you culture every ally planet to your side once you kill the dreadlords (about mission 5/6 in first campaign - Ultimate version) - iirc from what I read, it is due to the mission settings not having allies or enemy races correctly setup - possible a race not on the map being included...
