[quote]Yup, new patch and now I got a odd sound issue. It kinda sounds like the sound is mono and horrible quality. I got a Audigy 2 ZS and Creative doesn't believe in making new drivers.[/quote] Try lowering the performance tab in #6 of the fixes above. It worked for me and we have similar sound cards.
Hi all, I also had a sound problem after installing patch v1.04, in which no sound played at all: no music, no UI sounds, no ship sounds, nothing. I tried fixes number 1 through 5 to no avail. But fix number 6 of lowering the Hardware Acceleration to Standard has fixed the problem and sound works fine now. I just wanted to throw this out there as reference for those who have similar issues. My hardware: an Asus M2N-SLI Deluxe mobo with a Creative Audigy2 ZS Platinum so
Happened to me as well in a multi-star map, when I had multiple cannons with auto fire on. Initially I wondered what the heck was going on, thinking that the AI had built their own Novalith Cannon, but soon realized that I was shooting myself. So I had to auto-fire off all of my cannons, but even then, I had so many cannons, plus the slow travel time of the warheads that my newly liberated and colonized planets had 2-3 additional hits before the self-infliction stopped. :p Amusing at fi
Glad to see continued support for this game (from both devs and users). I love it and welcome change!
Play on the large maps (multiple stars, or 1 star but 40+ planets), 4+ AI on hard with pirates, teams unlocked. You'll have a great (and difficult) time. Awesome (and challenging) game in my opinion :CONGRAT:
Ack, realized this posted before this other one, after I had thought that my topic didn't connect through and posted on someone else's: https://forums.sinsofasolarempire.com/?forumid=404&aid=302097. Feel free to delete this (my) topic as we talk about the same thing. Thanks, -fiber-optix
I was just about to write a post about the exact same thing. I play on Normal and Hard difficulties and it appears to me that all the enemy AI have teamed up against me because they're all sending massive fleets my way, plus pirates on top of that. In my current Hard game, I can handle it now, but it's hard to eliminate an opponent in my star system (plus pirates) when two other opponents from another star system keep assaulting me and keeping my forces spread out. And on top of that,
I've noticed in several of my Normal and Hard solo games that the AI tends to make peace treaties with each other and attack me together, pirates included. Or at least, it appears that they've made peace treaties with each other because they're all sending their massive fleets at me. It's hard because it splits my forces trying to eliminate one enemy from my star system + pirates, while defending against the other two enemies from another star system as they keep sending fleets my way.
