[quote]@Hack78: Where do I find that file? searched for it in the game folder and in appdata but couldn't find it[/quote] Depends on if you have Vista or XP. IIRC for me (Vista) it is something like c:\documents and settings\ \localsettings\appdata\ironclad \user.config

Reply to Will Expansions 2 and 3 require Entrenchment or will we have 4 separate Sins games dividing the online community? in Sins of a Solar Empire

[quote]The solution is very simple. The host determines which expansion or lack thereof will be in play. If the host is on vanilla, then anyone who joins via the Entrenchment client will be subject to vanilla rules. Why is this so hard to implement? It doesn't even need to be like Dawn of War (that would give Entrenchment players an unfair advantage). If the host does not have the expansion, just limit the rules to those that the host can support.[/quote] Which a

Reply to getting games.. is getting hard in Sins Multiplayer

[quote]Really not hard to get at all. Every time i've wanted one I've been able to find or make one in short oder. The problem is people like you being so impatient that you switcch back to base-Sins in about 3 seconds, when you "can't find" people to play Entrenchment with you.[/quote] The larger issue with Sins in general is that people rock up, see no one in the lobby (or only 1 or 2 others) and leave. Then someone else comes along. I have waited 1/2 hour at off peak times for a ga

Reply to Will Expansions 2 and 3 require Entrenchment or will we have 4 separate Sins games dividing the online community? in Sins of a Solar Empire

[quote]One solution could be to simply allow everyone to join any game, but only allow them to use units and research "unlocked" by the expansion(s) they own. Kind of like Guild Wars. It might be problematic if subsequent expansions radically change game mechanics, but with some design effort it could work. Certainly a better alternative than fracturing an already tiny community.[/quote] It won't work. How is a vanilla Sins player supposed to kill a fully upgraded starbase without any

[quote]I realize this, but that still fractures the game community. I would like to be able to run the latest expansion and choose to either join a vanilla game or a game with the expansion. Otherise I have to open sin twice just to check and see how many matches for each are up.[/quote] Not to mention that an available slot can fill in the time it takes you to switch engine and log back into ICO again....

Reply to ICO Server nutball.... in Sins Multiplayer

[quote]She burst into the lobby one day screaming about how her ban hammer was hungry. Must be that time of the month...... [/quote] Yeah - I saw this the other day. Telling everyone to behave or the ban hammer was coming out.... I now ask the question again - ARE YOU SURE IDLEBOT HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH IC AND ICO????

[quote]If you use the Entrenchment launcher, when you click 'join' MP games, anyone hosting a match with Vanilla will not be visible. YOU CANNOT JOIN A VANILLA GAME IF YOU ARE RUNNING ENTRENCHMENT.[/quote] My understanding from what was originally said by IC was that if everyone but one player had the expansion, the game would default to vanilla Sins as one person does not have it. This is not the case as you cannot form this game as the Vanilla person cannot join the game. I

If ICO has the sync erros, LAN play would as well... And wasn't 7 Deadly updated???? As far as I am concerned, people who "want" to stay on 1.05 do so because they can't upgrade....
