Ok so many of you want to know my computer specs. I have a AMD 2100+ CPU, 2GB RAM, ATI Radion 9800 Pro with 256MB RAM, SB Audigy 2 ZS, and running Windows XP Pro. Like I said it’s a bit older but more than meets the Min Requirements for this game. So for those that said "get a better/newer computer" you should insted, be telling Stardock/Ironclad that their min requirements are incorrect. As for the frustration of finding a DL link for the patching I went back and looked again for a link on their home page. https://www.sinsofasolarempire.com/ Sorry still don't see a button for it. Or directions to get to it. Doesn’t really matter though, anyone can Google and find the link. And yes I still do think it is BS to force a customer that just purchased one of your products to register the game to get ANY support for that product. You can't even DL patches to FIX the game that should already be working when you buy it, unless you do so. Don't get me wrong if I thought that I was the only one, or even just part of a small hand full of consumers that was having this problem I wouldn't be so upset. But as I stated earlyer its dose not appear to be a little or infrequent error. Sorry about my original post not having paragraphs. Didn't realize I was back in college in constructive wrighting 101. And for the rest of you who had nothing but criticism about my frustrated postb and no advice or anything positive to say about it. Put your self in my shoes. How would you feel if you purchased something that your were able to use once and then can't use it again. example (a TV that turned on but then the next time you tried, you find out you have to take it back to the store to get it fixed. But when you go there the repair man says "Sorry we are working on getting something to fix that with, but it will take a few months.")Sorry for any typos miss spelling or any other grammatical error GEZZ. Their would be loads of peeps wanting to help you its a very friendly if lively communityLook at the replies. lol, yeah real friendly. :edited for a few spelling and grammatical errors
Just because it happens for you doesn't mean it happens for everyone. And college courses are there for a reason, idiot.
No one likes reading walls of text.
The fact that there's no copy protection necessitates the required registration. You act like it takes more than 3 minutes...Stop whining, it would have taken you less time to register and download the updates than to write this post, which leads me to believe you pirated it.
