Nevermind. I remembered it was Stardock. Found it & am downloading it now.

I bought the original game at a bestbuy when it first came out & then bought entrenchnent online which entitled me to be able to redownload at anytime. It's just been so long , I lost the original disc & can't remember how to find where to get the download from. I'm quite sure I can remember my login & paswords if I can simply find where I need to go.

I haven't played in a long time , but would love to get back to this great game. I however can't remember how to go about downloading my backups form the server. Could someone please provide me with a link?

[quote who="Agent of Kharma" reply="2" id="2049345"] Try playing actual people instead of the AI. Finally, one thing I like doing is coming up with some clever or crazy tactic, and seeing if I can pull it off first against the AI, and then a real person. In other words, going into a game with a particular goal in mind can be more fun than simply loading a game up and playing just to play. For instance, figure out an

Ok , I'll try that. I haven't really messed with galforge since I last posted but I will take it up again soon enough.

I'd like to take a moment here & thank everyone for their ongoing efforts in making sure the game Sins & this communtiy is of the finest to be found. I know I've done my share of complaining but I don't think I've been totaly unreasonable.

Update I have done nothing to change my net config in the last 3 days but for some reason today I can finally log into ICO after nearly 2 weeks which IMO proves my theory that the problem was on the server end. I'm glad my problem seems to be resolved at least for the time being.

My comp is directly hooked to to my modem/router via ethernet. My kids both have a wireless connection for their's. I've reset the modem & my ethernet adapter, turned off ALL protection apps to test & even had a line test done.

[quote who="CowTsign" reply="8" id="2034873"]Why bother making a custom ship? Just have the mines cleared automatically after you have control of the planet (and there are no remaining enemy forces that are not mines). Have the clearing process start slow and accelerate.[/quote] If this were the case then perhaps the ability to clear mines could be added to the construction drones.

I do use a router/modem combo, but I've shut down its internal firewall & forwarded all ports used by Sins & ICO.

[quote who="NYOMYTHUS" reply="6" id="2034170"]face it -- this game blows[/quote] I wholeheartedly disagree. This game is amazing. I just wish I could play online again.

I know some of my posts sound a bit like complaining. I'm just getting a little frustrated. I also would like to find the root of this problem so that we can all put this right. I simply don't know much about these things just as most people who buy a game & just want to play it without having to make technical adjustments to their network.

Fully updated to 1.12. Worked fine for weeks but suddenly nothing.

I've opened port 7000, turned off all firewall & antivirus & still no ICO...

As far as I can tell, nothing has changed within my system & it seems highly unlikely that so many people also suddenly have then same remote problem. Something has apparently changed on the server side & I certainly hope it gets worked out asap. I don't see why I need to be an IT pro to play a game online. This is really getting old in a very fast way.

My comp is the same as the one posted & I have the same issues. I however use a dual monitor & run a system monitor in sidebar. It never drops ram below 30% free. That's over a gig of ram not being used even at the end of a 100+ planet map.

[quote who="dwood15" reply="1" id="2033472"]I'll play you. Get Hamachi and we can play over a virtual network![/quote] I saw that you emailed me , but I rarely check that email acct. Contact me by IM, It's almost always on.

I just played Aerolian sector & found all the artifacts (assuming that there are 9 of them) except for space ponies.

I've had the same thing for 3 days now... I guess the server is just down again.

ICO has been down for going on 3 days now & I for 1 would realy like to play. I'll host some direct IP games if anyone is interested. Contact me on WinLive [email protected]

It just occured to me that there should be a civil officer as well.

I figured that out right after I made that post. Now the problem I'm having is wherener I try to play the map I've made the game instantly ends in defeat.

How can I make a map more than 2 players using galaxy forge?

Someone had said something about officers? This could be a great idea for future mini expansions. I just had an interesting idea of how it could work. I think that when you search a planet , you can sometimes find an untrained officer and/or an artifact. If this comes to pass then I'd also suggest that the maximum level of search be raised so that a planet could be searched 5 times & that the cost range be spread out a bit. The 1st few levels being reasonably inexpensive & pro

Has anyone tried to host any direct IP games yet? Does it work? This was almost always the prefered method in many games of this type I've played before.
