White pixels around graphics edges in Technical Sins Forums

I just got a new laptop which has an Nvidia GeForce 9600M GT card, and, although it runs Sins beautifully, there's a slight graphics bug I'm running into. Lots of things, in particular units and "free" asteroids (the ones that just float around some grav wells), have white pixels around their edges. I seem to recall seeing a solution to this posted somewhere before, but I can't find it now that I actually want to :P Anyone know how to fix this?

I played a game in 2.5, and the bug's still there. When I saved and reloaded the game, Adjudicators wouldn't fire correctly.

Reply to Suggestion for mitigating mine spam in Beta Feedback Sins Forums

The best solution I can think of is to just make it easier to kill mines. Obviously it can't be too easy, or there won't be any point in building them in the first place, but I suspect that if mines were auto-targetted properly and revealed as long as the Scout is around rather than whatever it is they're doing now, that would solve quite a bit of the problem. Or perhaps another solution would be to make the Vasari mines, at least, cost more antimatter. I ca

Reply to Starbase Balance in Beta Feedback Sins Forums

I'm in agreement with most of you on this one--I'm thinking Starbases definitely need to take mor time and resources to build, and they need to be faster...stronger...and longer-ranged. Ironclad can do it; they have the technology :P To put it a bit more seriously, the current state of Starbases is somewhat ridiculous. Carriers destroy them, and even a fairly small fleet can take one down without too much trouble, particularly when you're Vasari and get Phas

Wormhole bug in Beta Feedback Sins Forums

I was playing a game as Vasari to test out some of the new stuff. Aside from the standard anything-that-targets-planets-does-funny-things-when-jumping-in-a-group bug, I encountered this beauty of a blooper. It only happened once that I saw, and it never affected my ships, but when one of my opponents' Drone Hosts went through a wormhole, it travelled through it like it was a Phase Stabilizer rather than the standard instantaneous warping. I took a screenshot of it, so here i

Reply to Mini dump Entrenchment (fixed) in Beta Feedback Sins Forums

Turning all of my graphics settings to Medium/Low seems to have fixed the problem. I do think this is something of a sub-optimal solution, however. Regular Sins ran fine even on my terrible video card, and it strikes me as odd that Entrenchment would have higher requirements...

Reply to Grouped phase jump not working correctly because of ship lineup in Beta Feedback Sins Forums

[quote who="S_Holmes" reply="6" id="1981335"] To select all ships of a specific type, hold down the alt key and left click on one unit.[/quote] Yeah, I know that works, it's just that I thought the other way worked also.

Reply to Grouped phase jump not working correctly because of ship lineup in Beta Feedback Sins Forums

I've had exactly the same problem. My frigates like to ignore group jump orders, rebellious little scamps that they are. Incidentally, for some reason double-clicking a ship doesn't select all ships of that type in the gravity well. Call me crazy, but I swear that it used to. Maybe it just got unbound somehow? Or maybe this is a bug. Or, well, maybe I'm just mixing up my games.

Reply to Entrenchment Hotfix Change Log in Beta Feedback Sins Forums

Unfortunately, colony caps still try to autocolonize even when the option is turned off, and the ten-minutedump is still happening... I like the idea of what's going on with Entrenchment, but I wish I could actually experience it :(

Reply to Two Entrenchment Minidumps in Beta Feedback Sins Forums

Wow, I'm getting a healthy collection of these minidumps here...the hotfix didn't solve the problem. As I said, I've re-installed Sins and Entrenchment twice each, and it's still happening. Is there anywhere specific I should send these files?

Reply to Two Entrenchment Minidumps in Beta Feedback Sins Forums

I did have Sins 1.12 installed. My system specs are: Windows XP SP3 Dual 1.73 GHz processors, 2 GB RAM Intel 945 graphics chipset (with the latest driver) Yeah, the Intel chipset is sucky, but it's always run vanilla Sins fine, although I haven't played much during the past couple updates...

I was playing by myself, and I'm pretty sure that I did...I'll try re-installing once more.

Reply to Two Entrenchment Minidumps in Beta Feedback Sins Forums

I just uninstalled and re-installed both Sins and Entrenchment, and I got the same problem as before...and it wasn't the TEC minefield; it must have been one of the others.

Two Entrenchment Minidumps in Beta Feedback Sins Forums

The first dump here occured while I was playing a game as TEC. I hadn't gotten much farther than sending out a few scout ships and looking at the new technologies when it happened. The second happened while I was trying to change the colors for a computer player. The only commonality I can see is that both happened after about ~10 minutes of gameplay. Oh, and the TEC minefield tech seems to have a missing string.

Reply to Sins of a Solar Empire v1.03 full change log in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

I agree that the siege frigate nerf seems a bit overdone...the pop requirement seems pretty high. I'm not going to embroil myself in the debate, though, since I'm definitely just a casual player. I just signed on to request longer ship names :P If I can rename ships, I want to be able to have some serious fun with it. I want ships like the Screw Diplomacy and the Oh My God What Is That Thing. The--by my count--13-character limit seems a bit low. I mean, it's certainly not important

Reply to What are the Vasarii runing from? in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

Whatever it is--and my personal bet is with some kind of space anomaly, given the opening cinematic--it seems to have slowed down a bit, since "There has yet to be any reports aside from those that were placed prior to entering Trader Space" (description of the Severun Overseer, regarding the unknown threat).
