now as i said i have been playing quite sucuessforlly i loaded up that impuse a couple of days back to see the new updates, i belive that was the cause is there maybe something like taking the game off and reinstalling a possibly a fix ?. other from this i havent done just yet, game runs like a gem and is awsume to play.

could i also make a sugestion as well as for multiplayer games, can it be possible for a server to be listed when someone hosts already in a game to beable to play if her/he allows that option to be i think that would kick a$$ even though that person would be starting late i think it could besomething people could take up?.

can somone help i can run the game fine but when i run it my mouse disapears

I really need to know, my Vista only has 840 something mgs of RAM, but everything is all set. Is it crucial to have 1gbg? Or will it be laggy, because I can turn down all of the graphics and things to compinsate.

I have a mouse problem after about 2 mins playing my mouse cursor stays in one place. I can still see it high light over things but the cursor stays put making it almost impossiable to play. I have had this happen with the first install and also with the updates.

Cursors disappearing or getting stuck are generally due to video drivers, so check that you have them updated to the latest from the manufacturer.

I have the lates vedio

I do have the latest

I do have the latest video drivers  and i have:

DUAL Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 3.60GHz

2G RAM

NVIDIA GeForce Go 6800 RAM: 256MB

I have also emailed the suport line and have not recived a replay from them.

assuming you have sins 1.17/entrenchment 1.03,  the Mods NEED to be placed here for xp
C:\Documents and Settings\'user name'\Local Settings\Application Data\Ironclad Games\Sins of a Solar Empire\Mods-v1.17
C:\Documents and Settings\'user name'\Local Settings\Application Data\Ironclad Games\Sins of a Solar Empire\Mods-entrenchment v1.03

or here for vista/windows 7
C:\Users\'user name'\AppData\Local\Ironclad Games\Sins of a Solar Empire\Mods-v1.17
C:\Users\'user name'\AppData\Local\Ironclad Games\Sins of a Solar Empire\Mods-Entrenchment v1.03


NOTE the first two folders after the 'user name' are hidden , so to see them you must first click on 'tools' then 'folder options', then 'view', then click on 'show hidden files& folders' then click ok, then you will be able to browse your want to the folder. I suggest when you find the folder that you create a shortcut to it on the desktop

NOTE 2 the 'user name' in the above paths is your WINDOWS login user name, eg Administrator

hello, could someone take a look at my post since it is 2 days old and I haven't received an answer yet; please, I'm still watching it.

I just got this game and it's awesome, but I'm trying to start a LAN game and when I try to connect to a game it says "You don't have the files needed for this game" Can anyone help?

Edit: Never mind, it's solved.
