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 Sins Forums

[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....

[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

[quote]Does anyone know any means of obtaining the proper patch so that I may buy Entrenchment and play this game?[/quote] It won't help you. You get Entrenchment via Impulse. So you need Sins to the right version and then do Entrenchment. I guess you have to wait for Monday....

Reply to Unexplainable lags in Technical Sins Forums

Sins was designed to run on low spec machines. Everytime I have seen major lag from players when doing MP games, the issue is either a bottled internet connection or they are running it on high(est) settings, which their rig cannot handle.
