IGN GOTY, http://uk.bestof.ign.com/2008/pc/22.html gratz =)

went smooth for me, i guess i'll have a lil match now :D

just because i'm not "annoyed" and whine over the whole thread that the patch is distributed via impulse i'm a fanboy. yeah, right...

just a hint: the link on the frontpage for the patchnotes doesnt work since it doesnt redirect to the forums ;) https://www.sinsofasolarempire.com/324241 instead of https://forums.sinsofasolarempire.com/324241

eww 4:30 pm here (gmt+1) still waiting ^^

[quote]2 months.. lol, thats some beta-testing...........i'll not download the beta unless ofcourse everone decides to do the oposite and i'm all alone in 1.05 lobby [/quote] as long as it's your pc I reckon it's ok. You can't play online on both pcs anyway then.

I can't wait for the beta :D Just a couple more hours and i'm already fired up =)

[quote]That, and there are a number of mods which address the general blandness of certain special effects ingame. So check out those as well.[/quote] QFE I can only say this again: Check out Bailknight's spectacular mod! :D It's worth the installing-hassle.

I'd really advise you to make use of your keyboard since it's perfectluy intuitive. The two rows qwert+asdfg represent the 2 rows of commands/build orders. There's nothing more to it, i just love it for its simplicity since the same key's for any menu whether the build menu or ability selection. And using the F1/F2/F3 keys can be handy as well (: There are of course no-brainers like shift and alt which are used in nearly every decent rts to make use of build queues res

More like a mix of the druid and the necro. I didn't see the witch doctor transforming into a bear though ;D The only thing that disappoints me is that we have to wait 1-2 more years til it's release :>

[quote] Do not use the most recent one. It causes a conflict with DirectX that will keep you from being able to play the game. Use a version 6 or 7 and the game will run fine. [/quote] my x1950pro AGP works fine with newest 8.2 >_>

thanks =D

Just tried with 8.1 catalyst. The FPS dive issue still persists, but the performance gap was kinda reduced. When there's only a one-liner, like the construction finished messages, the dive is hardly noticeable but when there's a lot of text, e.g. the message you get if you make a screenie, and the AI sends you a message it still drops from ~60fps to tedious 10-20 :/

[quote] I also get FPS drop under the same conditions and scenarios. That is, when ever text messages are sent by players or ai in game and also when text messages are made via the online lobby system; the greater the amount of text on screen via messaging systems the greater the FPS drop. Like the others this happens even when my gfx settings are set to high, medium or low. [/quote] I've got exactly the same problem : / It runs perfectly on h
