Cannot play multiplayer

June 13, 2012 3:27:21 PM from Sins of a Solar Empire ForumsSins of a Solar Empire Forums

Ok.. this is great... the game has been our for like 24 hours and already there is problems... When I start Sins Rebellion and try to start ICO Internet Multiplayer I get a error message stating

 

"Old Version of Sin Detected. Ensure you have the latest update"

 

After that I can only press a accept button and get sent back to the main menu. I have it via Steam and it patched the game when I started it. It worked yesterday but not today.

 

Any ideas?

Try verifying the game's cache files.

Open up Steam and right click on the game and select properties, then choose the option 'Verify Integrity of Game Cache' like so: http://screencast.com/t/wkNhA18l

After the game files are read/repaired attempt to run the game again in Steam and see if that fixes the issue.

Getting the same here.

I got an initial patch of around 100mb after release then another smaller one this evening.

V1.02.4185 (Steam)

I've tried to verify the files but nothing has downloaded.

I just went to the install directory and deleted the files that were no in their own folder and now it works again.

Ok... what do you mean with files not in their own folder? all "loose" files directly in the folder for the game?

 

 

And regarding the verify cache thingy, I have allready tried that and it did not work

Just tried it again and for some reason it is working fine again now.

 

Don't know what was wrong but... server glitch?

Pretty much any loose file in the install directory.

From binkw32.dll to xinput1_3.dll.

Delete, verify files, done.

I tried to verify twice before resorting to ripping files out but that didn't work.

Steam downloaded everything again and it was good to go.

 

It could just be a coincidence and it might have worked without deleting anything but worth a shot if you're having this issue.

I stand by my previous statement.
