Problems with new (8/30) version

from Sins Forums
Good comments 1st: Love the changes to capital ships, very reasonable I think. I also really enjoyed the splitting of research buildings and searching planets. Pirate bases are cool, but you should get something for destroying them I think (maybe I get something but I don't know it).

I also like the fact that saving the game doesn't take an eon anymore. Thanks a bunch!

Bad stuff: I notice in this version that a lot of the time my mouse panning around the screen stops working. I'm forced to scroll all the way out, double click an object, then zoom in. I can't just browse around the map despite my mouse being on the edge of the screen. Interesting thing is if my view is following a ship and I move my mouse to the edge, I still stop following, I just can't move my view anywhere.

Also, I have a saved game that immediately crashes the client. Want it?

Known problem, easily fixed. Go to the my documents "sins" directory (something along the lines of: Documents and settings \ username \ application data \ ironclad games\sins\ in XP) and from there find the uimapping file, don't remember where to find it, and delete it. There are more precise dev-given instructions elsewhere on the forum if you want to take the effort to find 'em.

The zoom can be changed at the top bar. It looks like a camera or a small lock

The crashes is well known by now, but mail it to [email protected] anyways, the more the better

Couple of items, not sure if I overlooked them in all the other threads:


1) "Last Flagship Standing" modes = auto-fail, as no player has a flagship to begin... instant game over!


2) Captain Hazelwood is back behind the ship's wheel, and he has brought the rest of the bar with him; dang ships keep running into asteroids and other obvious obstacles, hopefully they can lay off the sauce soon, and turn on the radar to help them pathfind to avoid collisions.


Other than that, things are looking great!

i have seen a problem with fighters they go after frigs and caps insted of bomers this might be cos they are going after their parent ships target but hanger fighters sttill go after caps and frigs this needs changing and id like 2 see aa frigs set to hold position when built which would save alot of hassle.

Thanks guys, I did that fix and now I can pan around the screen with my mouse again, yeah!

I'll email in the zipped save file for giggles.
