And you can download a version and archive it to a folder on your machine, so you can re-install without having to download it again. Worse case you then have to patch from the archive version to the latest one if you aren't up to date...

She's normally in the bedroom yelling at me to come to bed and stop playing games (i.e. Sins)... She has almost got to the stage of being able to work out if I am in game or not.... That must count for something???

Reply to Ironclad Online problem in Technical Sins Forums

You will need to also make sure the appropriate ports are open. Though the fact that you get wrong version suggests that you might not have this issue. If the port was closed, I would expect something like "Disconnected from Ironclad Online" rather then being told you are on the wrong version (this would imply a successful version check has occured.

[quote]Ah, another one: blocking ships. Is there a way - except setting manual waypoints - to minimize blocking? I lost countless ships because they got blocked by other ships, structures or asteroids (and its strange enough that a race that masters interstellar fight has spaceship captains who are flying around like drunk teenagers who just got their licence, not being to avoid even the biggest obstacles). It really sucks if your precious lvl6 cap gets roasted instead of escaping because it

Reply to Ironclad Online problem in Technical Sins Forums

it means exactly what it says - you are not using the latest version of Sins - which is currently 1.13. As per the manual, all patching is done via Impulse. You download Impulse, register the game and it detects what files need updating to bring you up to the current version (it does a dynamic delta, so the first time you patch it might be huge as there are lots of changes, the second time may be really small as very few files actualyl changed).

[quote]database and similar operations are a very different set of problems that don't really apply[/quote] To follow up on what Ron said... Databases can be written to run in parallel as multiple users request something at the same time, so it is doing X jobs for Y people. A game is one job for 1 person unless you are talking about the server part (if implemented)
