there are plenty of free downloadable programs to do a spyware check, Ad-Aware and SpyBot: Search and Destroy are my two personal favorites. Both are thorough and free to use. You may also want to see about defragmenting your harddisk, that may reduce the problem a bit atleast. (although i doubt fragmentation could be bad enough to cause this much trouble)
[quote] Awesome, that worked! I had gone to that page before, but I wasn't logged in, so it didn't give me the option of using my tokens. But now that I am logged in, all is well. Thanks for your help!! [/quote] You're welcome Tall Man, enjoy the game. :)
TEC: Experimental Design Branch, First column, Hangar Defense. Advent: Ascension Branch, First column, Hangar Defense. Vasari: Prototypes Branch, Second column, Hangar Defense. There you go, exact locations for each. :)
[quote] I'm so happy with SSE. So you mean SoaSE? (More often referred to as "Sins") [/quote] yes i did, although i've been seeing the abreviation SSE quite often aswell, even in a Dev post or two i believe. :) Also, its customary to not include words like "of
[quote] I suspected that this was the case as I couldn't find a release date for Europe but I needed confirmation. I think I will just wait until they do find a distributor as I don't have much free time to play right now anyway. I know I can download it directly from stardock (that's how I got GC2) but I don't have a credit card anymore and I don't plan on getting a new one soon. I just hope that Stardock doesn't forget us, we love their games! <img id="I
Easiest solution: go to the [link="http://totalgaming.stardock.com/games/?id=SINS"]TotalGaming SSE page[/link] and click Buy Now at the top. You'll be able to spend your tokens and recieve an e-mail with the registration code for SSE enabling you to download the retail version through Stardock Central. I'm guessing SDC isn't updated yet to allow purchasing of SSE directly.
At the moment there is no distributor for Europe. They're negotiating with one, but it will probably be a while before the game shows up in european stores. However, i can happily recommend purchasing it directly from stardock themselves. They offer the option of digital download only or digital download with DVD sent after. And with the rather low dollar at the moment even the second option with the included shipping won't be too costly. (perhaps a little bit above what a new game wou
Load times that long are indeed extra-ordinary and certainly shouldn't be occuring. My own PC isn't exactly top-of-the-line (AMD X2 3800+, 2GB DDR2-667 and an x1950 Pro) but i'm haven't experienced load times of more than 30-40 seconds sofar, let alone as much as that. Could you tell us your PC configuration please, because something seems very wrong there. As Multianna asked, is it a Laptop and is it running of its battery? Because some laptops have incredibly agressive powersave settings
Essentially by downloading you're activating the product too. (since you have to enter the registration key you receive by e-mail to even begin downloading) Most Stardock products are downloaded and activated through Stardock Central, their download and content management software. It pretty much does all the work for you. You buy a product, receive its activation codes via e-mail, find the product in SDC, enter that code, download and use it. Any physical copies of the product are
If there isn't a direct phase lane connection between 2 stars, you'll need to research the long range jump technology (like Mors said), that then allows you to jump from your local star's gravity well to the gravity well of any other star.
Fear, i think you're a little confused. Both the current download and the version on the disc are the retail game. They're exactly the same. The disc is just there to provide you with a physical medium for the game. If you download the game you'll have the retail game on your computer and once the CE disc arrives you'll have it on a physical medium aswell. And ofcourse, the box contains all the neat CE extras in a physical format rather than digital files. ;) So get downloading (if you wan
The game was released 6 days ago, so its the retail download alright :)
[quote] Allure of the Unity gives you a free 10% allegiance to all your planets, and even though it's at the end of the tree and rather expensive, it should pay for itself if you get it early enough. 10% allegiance roughly translates to +10% credits/minerals. One thing I am confused about is that I somehow had a 10% bonus before I even researched this, and I ended up with my home planet at 120%. I didn't have any artifacts that could explain it either.

OMG i suck at StarCraft :P I'm so happy with SSE. :LOL: Sorry, had to spout that bit. :)
[quote] "This core difference is key to making Sins an approachable game, but it might leave adrenaline-dependent strategy gamers a little disappointed. While the game is real-time in nature, it is by no means an edge-of-your-seat experience." one of the most a55onine comments i've ever read. wow. i cannot remember how many times this week i was WIGGING OUT playing this game with my face literally 3 inches from the screen, trying to s
[quote] Okay, I did some digging, and some playing, I got it resolved. Path issue rather than view issue. Still, the weird thing is, I was doing searches across all my hard drives and these folders in particular for the file names, and they weren't coming back in returns. That has me stumped. [/quote] They're system directories, Windows doesn't search inside them (even if you tell it the exact directory) unless you also tell it to not s
:) You think you have it bad Kosc, i'm on the wrong side of the Atlantic Ocean from these people. :P I'd love to come over and shake their hands, i mean it. :D
Well, aside from Mr. Troll here, SSE appears to be very well received overal. Don't forget to add the 4.5/5.0 from Gamespy LordKosc, with Editor's Choice too. :) Sins seems to be growing into a box-office hit, awesome work IronClad. :CONGRAT:
1) Yes i would, SD is very reliable when it comes to their services, so i can safely recommend downloading the game through them rather than trying to find a physical copy of the game somewhere. 2) Download speeds while downloading for me were usually around the 520 KB/s mark, which is infact the maximum for my connection. So you should be seeing a pretty decent speed. Total download is just over 1GB, so at that speed downloading it only takes 40 minutes or so. Infact, most Demo's of cur
Not sure if you can pauze in multiplayer, might be some switches for that in creation of games. (haven't played multiplayer yet, getting to grips with single first ;) )
It certainly should be CE goodies, since i bought mine as digital download pre-order through Total Gaming and got the theme just fine.
[quote] Im haveing the same problem. But when i go to C:/Documents and settings/[user name] I dont even have a Local settings folder! There are application folders on my comp for other games i have, but not sins. any idears?

2000 ships slots (or 2300 as Vasari) isn't enough? That's an aweful lot of starships you know. :)
[quote]I really prefer scifi to fantasy, so EVE caught my eye, but everything I have read makes it sound FAR too cutthroat for my tastes.[/quote] EVE is mainly cutthroat if you stray out of socalled High-Sec space, once you do that CONCORD (the ingame police basically) won't show up to blow the bandit apart if they attack you without provocation. Once you do venture into low-sec and no-sec paranoia is the only safe state of mind, treat everything and everyone as a potential enemy, watch
