Reply to Two versions of 1.04? in Technical Sins Forums

You can simply download the standalone one and install it, and it will overwrite any problems. No need to reinstall. The Impulse patch is back online as of a few days ago, which I just updated to late last night. We'll see later today or tomorrow if that screwed anything up. :) -HM

Reply to Sins or GalCiv 2... in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

GalCiv2 is only $9.90 at Gogamer.com for the next few days, so you can get it on the cheap (this is the original game, so it doesn't include the Dark Avatar expansion): [link="http://www.gogamer.com/Galactic-Civilizations-2--Dread-Lords_stcVVproductId5589779VVviewprod.htm"]Linky for GalCiv2 on the cheap![/link] -HM

Reply to GalCiv2 $9.90 at gogamer.com in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

They're legit. I buy from them all the time because they have good sales like this. First found about them years ago from Shacknews.com. As a matter of fact, I bought the GalCiv/AP bundle from them quite a ways back. My first Stardock purchase! I know Stardock made nothing off me with that buy, but that introduction helped made me a Stardock fanboy. So don't be hatin' on the Gogamer: Peace Phoenix! -HM

Don't compare with what gogamer.com says the list price is. The fact is that it's $10, which is 50% off the Stardock store price. Gogamer.com only sells new/wrapped games. Implying that they'd send a used game is a baseless accusation. -HM

Reply to Disconnected from Ironclad Online in Technical Sins Forums

What's the error message you get? Are you sure you have the latest version of Sins? That's usually the main culprit behind people not being able to connect to ICO. The port forwarding should only be needed for hosting a game (but you aren't even that far). -HM

Reply to Sins updating process is garbage in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

This is such a non-issue it's hard for me to believe it's hit two pages. First, updating via SDC (and now Impulse, since they have a fixed file up) works pretty well. Second, for those who don't like auto-update, you can easily download it as a standalone exe from this website. If for whatever reason you're having an account problem, email support and they'll straighten you out. Third, the current standalone patch has made its way (like the last one) to places like Fi

Reply to How to: see/connect-to/host SERVERS! in Technical Sins Forums

Ok, I guess you've gone to his overall network guide, not the Sins specific one. I'm going to leave it to him as to why you're using this guide. Because I would think in at least 8 cases out of 10, simply forwarding TCP ports 6000 and 6112 to your local machine will do the trick for hosting a game. And in most other cases, the whole "cascading NAT" thing is the culprit (I would've never known some cable/DSL modems had routing features; go figure). -HM

Mine was a bit loose, so be sure to scour the box contents to ensure it didn't fall off and get stuck to something else. If not, then yeah, what kryo said. -HM

I'm not sure what you're looking at. Mine is clearly labeled "PC SINS SOLAR CODE STKR". -HM

Reply to Price? in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

It sounds like the sales are a comin', since both Best Buy and Amazon had it on sale last week at $30. You cannot go wrong on this game at $30. -HM

Reply to Where to send crash dumps? in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

No problem. It may help to also send them a dxdiag report of the PC that crashed (in case it ends up being a hardware or driver issue). They might also want a game replay. They got back to me fast; good luck! -HM

Reply to Price? in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

I'm a big fan of Stardock (I own all the GalCiv stuff, and preordered the GalCiv2 expansions), but I am "thrifty", so I couldn't stomach the $10 shipping on the box. There's a part of me that wishes I had though; a printed tech tree and keycard would've been nice to have. Of course I wish a CE version was available in stores...then I could've had the extra content w/o paying the $10 shipping. Ah well, it's all a weighing of pros and cons at any given point in time. I'll undoubtedly p
