Sanchezz that does happen some games but ICO is still I believe the biggest cause of lag.

[quote who="joeflint82" reply="2" id="2931379"]Why does this site not have a 'contact us' section?

And most issues can probably be solved by searching the forums either with search or reading the subjects.

Everybody has different tolerance levels, also when it lags in the chat it also lags in games being played so unless poor connections can spread across all of ICO then the lag is most likely caused by the server somehow. BTW Yarlen we appreciate the work you guys are putting into sins to make it a better game.

Reply to Moving Mouse Freezes Game in Technical Sins Forums

thompson do you have a normal plug n play mouse or a special mouse like a touch pad or one that requires its own drivers? Also does the game unfreeze? if so under what circumstances. It sounds like there may be a small number of people with a specific setup that have this problem and that blizzard ran into it enough that they made a fix for WoW. Does this happen for other games or just WoW and sins?

Well I think most who play online know that the sever needs some kind of work done; in its current state playing over ICO is barely tolerable.

Alloy is a feature of Ironclad Online they implemented for people that have trouble forwarding ports. You turn it on in the host setup tab of ICO. Are you trying to play by IP or over ICO?

Reply to Troubleshooting a router in Technical Sins Forums

I'm 95% sure this is a port issue, most likely you didn't forward your ports properly. Things to check: Make sure your computer can access the internet Make sure you have the correct ports forwarded to the correct IP (your computers LAN IP can change) Make sure you have no firewall on your PC blocking sins Easy solution to be able to play online: Have host turn alloy on

Hold Position is much much better then disable auto attack. I guess there may be a few cases when disable auto attack would be better but i never disable it.

It seems as though with alloy off you don't get ICO lag in your games however the game speed seems slower.

Reply to [Sugestion] new planet upgrade in Sins Rebellion Sins Forums

If you have a large enough empire that it would be worth getting Administrative Facility filling up your planets with trade ports should net you alot more then taxes even with all planets at 110% allegiance. Also when I was coming up with planet specializations I was thinking a max of one at a time per planet but you can choose what you want.

[Sugestion] new planet upgrade in Sins Rebellion Sins Forums

What do you guys think about a new planet upgrade that: Is called: Administrative Facility Cost: Roughly the same as the Capital Planet upgrade Effect 1: Acts like a Capital Planet as far as allegiance is concerned Effect 2: Decreases credit income by 1-5 a second (on faster game speed) Possible 3rd Effect: decreases ship and structure build time by 20% This will help large empires improve allegiance on far off planets while having a slight trade of

Were you trying to build something that you couldn't build yet either because you needed to research it or upgrade your logistics, also you constructor wasn't disabled in any way was it?

Reply to Please increase ICO bandwith in Sins Multiplayer Sins Forums

ICO based lag 1. the lag is global it affects chat, game lobbies, and games being played 2. it does it to everyone at the same time 3. it seems to do it when a game ends and people join the chat lobby after a game; and when there is alot people moving around in game/chat lobbies 4. it can last longer then 30 seconds and possibly results in people being disconnected from ICO 5. I am unsure if turning alloy off bypasses the cause of the l

Reply to New Ability/Tech in Sins Rebellion Sins Forums

In combat of course you would use hull repair but after the battle or if you retreat to a planet with lots of repair platforms you can fill up your fleets shields. It is something I would find useful.

New Ability/Tech in Sins Rebellion Sins Forums

I suggest a new researchable tech for advent repair platforms that *repair* shields. The reason for this is because the other races have an advantage from repair platforms because they can start repairing sooner and can repair closer to max health; it will also support advent being the shield race.

TEC can uncontestedly get the best economy. LF are good at fighting stuff they counter (carriers, flak, scouts and support ships), but are easily countered by lrf which are arguably the best ship type in the game.

Reply to Complaint about smurfing in Sins Multiplayer Sins Forums

Both had under 15 games mixed win/losses but with a game count that low stats really aren't that reliable. About smurfing being honorable, some think it is some think it isn't, as for me I personally regard it as something that is often (but not always) used in not quite honorable way. Some people are against it for a variety of reasons and will be till the day they die, some don't care one way or the other, and some wonder why people cant open their minds to smurfing and
