i really enjoy this mod but im still getting crashes involving the pirates when they get to higher levels. Every time i try to mod the pirates in any way the game just doesnt want to do it. Other than the pirate crash this is a very good mod.
woot ty for this. i totaly forgot about this tool, this thread should be stickied, it really helps!
this sounds like a very good mod, ill def take a look at it when the update is released.
just wanted to say i think lowering the gfx to "high" seems to help a lot. At least my framrate was higher (8 player map with 60 or so planets). Just finished a game..well ok i was wiped out, but it didnt crash once even with pirates going crazy. Ill keep ya posted if i experience anymore. I really enjoy this mod, hope you continue to work on it. I think next round ill have the ai all against me, just because i like to die a lot (apparently..bah) V
i can run mine for several hours without a ctd/dump. Im testing some info i found in the mods' threads about lowering the texture qualities to high or medium to see if that helps. Might give that a shot just to see if it helps.
Ok it just crashed right after pirates launched on the "severe" setting/mode whatever its called. Ill lower the gfx settings and see if that helps.
is it normal to have a lot of minidump/crashes using mods. I get a crash every single time i use this mod. Seems to be random crashes no matter what im doing. I just installed sins/entrenchment patched it up and then threw in the 0.6 mod. ill check to see if im doing something silly but i thont think i am.
Ok 1st off i did use the search feature. Found out a lot of info but not quite what i needed. So i pressed the dreaded create post. No killing me...yet. OS: Vista 64 home basic vid card: Nvidia 8800gts allright hers my issue. I use a scott HDTV lct32sha for a monitor using a DVI to vga converter. I set up a custom resolution to 1366x768. I had to really dig around to force the TV to make the resolution work. Desktop and such work fine but most of my games do not see th
arcath, not to sound crazy here but seeing how you have a fresh install, have you tried to disable un needed services? sometimes these service features cause all kinds of chaos. If none of that helps, what firewall are you running? I used to use Comodo but that gave me all kinds of fits with some games. i really wish someone would come up with an PC OS strictly for gaming. That way manufacturers would have a consistant base to code with/from instead of having to fight registry issues,
Exinjeru are you saying impulse blocked your account somehow due to running IE7 or something? sorry i just dont understand. Ive ran firefox and IE6 for a while with no errors like that... edit: wait a second, i dont run IE7..its at 6...something. i run firefox 3.0.6...if IE7 is a requirment, how the heck is it workng for me? lol.
lol ok Annatar, maybe its something else then. My lack of a good strategy could be the source. Ill keep trying. *shakes fist at the TEC* They still need to add in the long range cruiser option to be avaiable for all three sides though its just not right. OH well. After i pre orderd entrenchment it appeared right on my games list. To show pre release ya right click the blue stardock icon up at the top left and click Show pre release versions. If your order went through it should sho
are you 100% about that dude? ill get my save game uploaded here somehwere and show ya, its a slaughter. [e digicons]o_O[/e]
i havnt seen this yet, but i quit my game out of frustration. Coulnt get anything past a TEC chokepoint. Ill try again here soon though. I really dont see the advantage of a Temp Phase lane anyhow. Unless your cut off from your main forces or managed to get a starbase behind enemy lines to strike at them from a unproteced flank. Its a good concept but..i have yet to find a good strategy to use it. Id prefer them dropping this and tossing in a frig/cruiser factory.
1: Tec seem to be decent. The starbase animation seems to loop after combat or trade ships dock. Nothing critical if you play this side. However those long range cruisers seem to be very overpowered. while the range is great for taking out starbases and turrets your opponents do not seem to have such a cruiser. 2: Vasari. After several hours of building forces attacking and such i ran into tec. Um...is there a version of the long range tec cruiser planned for vasari? If not you
Hmm i might try it but im running xp 64 pro, that has given me problems in the past with some stardock desktop software. Is this designed to work with xp 64? or just vista/win 7/ and xp 32?
i just joined the beta yesterday. I have noticed that the TEC starbase (when i built the first one) rotated at a nice slow n smooth pace. After combat however, it seemed to bounce back n fourth, after the fight was over. Almost like the animation was stuck in a mini loop or reseting somehow. It did not effect the station's guns though..except maybe some of the firing arcs..but those almost see to be beyond 180 degrees [e digicons]^_^[/e] so no complaints really. Starba
lol ok im convinced, friday (payday) ill do my Pre order so i can join in the fun. :)
2nd micro expansion? And here i was worried a bit about the future of Sins due to economics...yea kinda dumb i know ..sorry.(what..all kinds of titles and such have been discontinued by other publishers due to all this...money issue ..stuff.) Ill have to wait a bit longer to get into the beta but the more i read from you testers and moderators the more i want to join in . [e digicons]|-)[/e]
please tell me this isnt turning into the spore forums. [e digicons] There is no reason on this entire planet to get this upset over a game. People, its not real, shut the pc off and get some fresh air. This is for entertainment. If your that serious about your ladder position or etc, really you need to get away. So blacklist away folks, maybe you will grow up someday. Oh..and WOOT WOOT...and I say NI to you.
its not just the Epic mod, its any mod. I think i may have run across a bit of the problem. I had the AA set to full, while it was disabled in my Nvidia control panel. Im not sure thats the cause though. It just seems random at times, then others the game wont run more than 10 min before i get the typical crash dump. ah oh well, i play it until i get fed up, go to something else then come right back. The game is still cool.
sins is 1.12. Most mods say 1.1 im hoping they mean the latest just leaving off the extra digit. I tried the Epic mod, which i love but the thing just CTD too much. I thought it was due to the pirate raids modification (had a lot of trouble with that back before the first patch..if i remember right) But now its even using ballknights graphics mod and thats it. I'll keep testing it see if i can reproduce it at a particular point. I do run XP 64 at the moment, could that be the cause? I
just checking here, anyone else running mods and just ctd with the crashdump file a lot lately? I cant run one single mod from here anymore without 10 min into the game i crash. It doesnt matter what i run, even if its a simple mod of my own, CTD every darn time. Ive tried it with a variety of custom maps, could that be the issue? each one is new, generated within the game so..im at a loss as to why it crashes so much. IM at my wits end with this. [e digicons]:annoyed:[/e]
Heh, HW1 back when the game manual made ya feel special. (seriously it was huge). I loved all of the hw series, i break it out now and then to play but..ehh its just not the same anymore. Maybe its that ive played them so much there is nothing new. Now a HW3..that would be very cool, but id pray to whatver god's exist they dont turn it into a console fubar'd version. Homeworld for sins would be cool, mobile factorys/motherships to keep your fleets strong would be very cool. Real forma
yea its a bit of a letdown to think your getting a new expansion, only to find out its still in beta. Kinda like when you see the release date, and it comes..only to find out its pushed back again, and again. Frustrating but the crew here wants to make sure its ready to go, not full of bugs and glitches. Thats what i like about stardock, that and so far they have top notch customer service. I myself will not get involved in the beta, not because i dont like the idea, i
thought id pop in and say i like the mod. Its has a lot of potential. With that said however, i still get a LOT of crashdumps, which makes the game unplayable. Its either the pirates or something about the volumetric explosion mod, but im not 100% on that so dont get all upset and all the other forum stuff that happens here. Ill run a few tests, without pirates and see if this helps any. As for the strategy part, ive had some trouble in defending my home at first. But so far, i
