Sorry for the double post, but I found a solution that worked for me. Go to: My Documents/My Games/Ironclad Games/Sins of a Solar Empire Rebellion/Setting, and open the 'rebellion.user' file with notepad. Find the value VideoIsWindowed, change FALSE to TRUE, and start the game. Using the in-game options menu, you can go back and change it to full screen. You should be able to play and start the game in full-screen mode now.
I am having this exact same problem, and as much as I love Sins I don't really want to run it in windowed mode for the rest of its existence. How exactly do I go about validating the installation?
I noticed planets could have abilities (sun's solar radiation), and that that would be more versatile, but didn't know that you could force a planet to have a bonus. Thanks.
I didn't, and it didn't ask me,
Wow, I'm missing the four .manifest files, and a couple of the folders... But that doesn't explain how it works for my friend and not me... I'll try downloading it. Okay, when I try to download it, both of the sites give me an error. Should I turn off antivirus?
I got it from my friend, who runs the exact same build of the game as I do, and it worked fine on his computer. I put it: C:\Documents and Settings\(my username)\Local Settings\Application Data\Ironclad Games\Sins of a Solar Empire\Mods-Diplomacy v1.011 And, no, I was not trying to use any other mods.
What exactly is the problem? What are your system specs?
Yes.
Okay, so, I want to use Sins Plus, because it's awesome, so I download it, put it in C:\Documents and Settings\(my username)\Local Settings\Application Data\Ironclad Games\Sins of a Solar Empire\Mods-Diplomacy v1.011 Load the game, click enable mod, and then click apply changes. The game crashes, and I can't get out with the task manager, so I have to shut down my comp, and start it again. This time I
Thanks, I will.
Well, I am an experienced modder, but inexperienced with sins modding. I just started looking into modding, and I think I fully understand the basics, but my question is about something else. I've taken a look at planetary bonuses, because it seems a simple enough place to start, and my question is, is there any way I can make them do something else besides what they normally do, like decreasing the build rate for ships, or their cost at that planet, decreasing co
Thank you.
Well, I play sins a lot, and I personally like placing my buildings, but for some reason, it won't let me. When I click on a building, it just auto-places it for me, and won't let me pick a spot for it. This kind of bugs me. I have looked through the options, and all I found for Autoplacing was the "Auto-Place Extractors" box, there was no Auto place period button. Am I missing something blatantly obvious? I have tried restarting the game, and all that. It
If I it ever gets to late game, and I think the enemy is getting close to a kostura, I send a decently sized fleet to go get rid of a few weapons labs, before he gets them up and running.
Well, after ten hours of gameplay, I had taken two of his planets but only as a Pyrrhic victory. Most of my fleet was gone, and his economy was collapsing. We called it a draw. I did take down the starbase, and destroy his fleet, but once I took his planet he Kostura'd me to death, but I destroyed most of his weapons labs so that stopped that. This was a fail.
Well, I put these strategies to use. I killed his starbase but his fleet took me out afterwards. When I just went past his starbase, I found another, just as fully uprgraded. After scout probing, I found that all of his planets have starbases that are fully upgraded. Should I just leave my bombers to take out the orkulus and have my fleet run around killing his? I have already tried shifting fronts (and as a biproduct already have a starbase at t
Thanks. I already have a pretty big fleet with a rapture, plenty of illums, and four guardians. I lost my mothership on my first attempt at taking down that planet. I always knew that the advent had something special as far as strikecraft, but I held off building them because my lines were in a plasma storm. Thanks, time to go finish him off :D
Well, me and my friend started playing a 1v1 yesterday and now we are in a stalemate. I control the two main choke-points on the map, my economy is stringer than his, and my fleet is bigger, but every time I attack him, his starbase wipes me out. I can't just go around it (its the Orkulus). When he attacked me, I wiped out all his caps and he ran before I could finish him. I have tried using my anti-starbase unit (the Advent one) and I still get wiped out. We are
I love this game. Well more like loved... I got a new comp, re-installed sins, got Entrenchment, had problems registering, stardock sorted that out, uninterupted play for about six months, then a BSOD. Just one. Re-booted played fine. Then it gave me a BSOD every other time I tried to play, and now Sins is completely un-usable. I cant play it! A BSOD every time I try to play. I double click the shortcut = BSOD. Any suggestions?
Okay thanks, got it sorted out now.
I just bought Entrenchment today and I registered, or attempted to register, the game. I cant. I entered the exact same email adress (checked twice) and directly copied the key from the page after purchase. The message stated that either the key is invalid or the email is wrong. I'm stuck, any ideas?
