[email protected] is where you send ICO issues [email protected] is for Impulse etc... Those responsible have been sacked. We apologise again for the fault in the subtitles</spa

Yay - The Monk is back!!! There would seem to be a need. If you could look into the port 7000 thing - that was the issue I experienced, but it may not be what everyone else is having... Ultimately though, I still think an electronic Monk built into Sins or as a standalone would be a better idea!!!! lol I'd write something, but I have no idea what protocols etc... to use, and I figure firing off non-Sins port connections to Sins ports might not be the best idea....
Look into double NAT - The Monk used to help people with this issue.
I got a disconnect from ICO last night (Australian time) while in game and I got booted out of the lobby after the win a few times. I gave up and went to dinner. It appears to be working today though.. If you are still getting it, you need to fix your networking so you can connect - firewall is probably blocking you

If it is too hard to build into Sins, maybe even a stand alone exe that checks the ports etc..., does a dummy log into ICO using a test account and reports back to the user. That way at least the user knows the issue is either port related or something else - e.g. incorrect/invalid cd key etc...
Sins Forums
Just to point out a few things You need to be on the latest patch (currently 1.12) to use ICO - update via Impulse if required. The ports in your user.setting file need to be opened in all firewalls between you and ICO (i.e. windows AND modem firewalls). Some people have issues with two routers between them and their gateway - refer to The Monks guide for info on this Email ironclad support is normally the best way to get this resolved
Its works for many other people, so going on all my years of experience... I would think something on your end MUST have changed - things like this don't just stop working for no reason, and if the something that changed was on the server end, everyone would be having issues... Doesn't help you fix your issue though....
And what version of the game are you using? (Bottom right of the screen). You need to be on 1.12

Yes it is the same person in the thread, but look back at the forums and there are heaps of these examples. I just picked some that were recent. No you do not need to be an IT pro, but you ARE responsible for your home network or however you connect. What I am asking for is something to help people diagnose this and to inform them if there is an ICO issue. Everyone is quick to say ICO is offline when the issue is their end....
Sins Forums
Dear Brad/Blair/Craig I am seeing a large number of threads being created or hijacked by people who cannot connect to ICO. The claims I am seeing range from ICO being offline to Sins being junk and still only worthy of Beta status to a total boycott of ICO and to Hamachi instead. Now I am sure most of the issues are not yours, they are on the clients end. However look at the following links https://forums.sinsofasolarempire.com/337545/ <a
The server has NOT been down over the weekend - I have played a number of games with people. You need to check you have all the ports listed in your user.setting file open. Or here's a radical idea - try turning off your firewall and see if it works. That is how I worked out the problem my end when I upgraded to 1.11 from 1.05. Turned out I needed to open port 7000 on my modem firewall....
dwood15 - people use ICO - rather then posting all of the forums about using Hamachi etc..., contact support and fix your connection issue...
ICO has not been down for 3 days as I have been playing online with a number of other people. I would guess you have an issue connecting to ICO on your end. When I upgraded to 1.11, it took me a few days to get into ICO without turning off my firewall (which I didn't want to do oviously) - turned out that I had to open port 7000. I had been fine with 1.05. I suggest opening your user.setting file and ensuring all the ports listed there are open in your firewall. Otherwise, make sure y
[quote]I alreadly dont play at a large rez, and graphic's are on low-medium, but i've tryed it on 100% low but it didnt make a difference, My game is generally always getting below 30 frames, Mid game - 10 frames and lower.[/quote] Just a guess here, but maybe there is a limit to the number of FPS. Doesn't WoW have a limit of 30??? Sins isn't really the sort of game where you need ultra high refreshes...
My guess is you haven't got the required ports open on your firewall
No idea - report it to Stardock support and see what they say...
[quote]1. Well, first to get up to version 1.12 they need to get Impulse installed. Not a hard task, but it may not be intuitively obvious to the ordinary buyer of games that they need to get Impulse, or even where to get it.[/quote] The manual states Impulse is how patching occurs [quote]3. The tutorials skim the surface pretty quickly. "Ummm, yes. Lot of stuff here, wonder how I'm supposed to rememver all that?"[/quote] That is their issue - Stardock/Ironclad can't b
My view on this is that Stardock and Ironclad should have final say on what maps are put out there for this scenario to maintain quality control, but that the users should have input. The distribution chanel would then be Impulse. Maybe a slight tweak to the game to add another category - official non-core maps or something to seperate them from user custom maps...
I think he said he objects to them mouthing off how good they are without having done something to back it up...
[quote]Really? Fleet upkeep comes out of trades? I never knew that. So if I give my teamate credits/resources, does it take out my upkeep % or my teamates upkeep %? Is there somewhere where it shows you how much he actually got from you, or do you just do the math in your head?[/quote] We were discussing this in the lobby last night prior to launching a game - general consensus is this statement is wrong - you get 100% of what is given to you, otherwise you would have double tax on th

1) You need to be patched to version 1.12 (via Impulse) 2) You need to have the ports listed in your user.setting file open (mine is found at C:\Users\XXX\AppData\Local\Ironclad Games\Sins of a Solar Empire\Setting - this is for Vista. XP is slightly different). These are my ones GameHostPort 6112 GameBroadcastPort 6000 IcoServerPort 7000
Is anyone else getting forums go boom error when they post replies? It normally fixes itself with a quick F5 and clicking on the re-submit option, but it seems to be failing to post back about 1/2 the time for me....
You don't need the tech tree - no time to look at it in game as you are playing, and it is there in front of you when you do research anyway. So :P you all!!!!
