I must really be missing something.... in Sins Rebellion Sins Forums

I must be missing something. I have the full suite of the original games and the only thing I see different are a few new ships, a couple new research things and that is about it. I am EXTREMELY disappointed in what I got. The original three games together had most of the same features seen in this version.. This could have EASILY been a simple DLC or add-on to the original three. Diplomacy is the same, ships are the same (other than a few new ones), bugs or features no

Has anyone has any issues with random crashes with 7DS? When I use it I get crashes to desktop... Any known issues with version 1.0?

[quote who="Vretil" reply="24" id="2255155"] Maybe I missed something . . but while stand-alone patches are not available to download (which I think is what you want), you can use ImpulseAnywhere to get those the fully integrated patches. I think this is the key here. Just another example of unsophisticated users not understanding how to install software without a single .exe file. Tragic. The way I see it you have serveral options: 1. Download

How long after something is annouced like this does the patch show up? I have a total of 36 hours now before I loose all internet access to my systems due to moving to a new home. Any idea on the release of this latest patch?

If it is broken and gushing you still get charged and if it is turned off at the meter, you still pay the connection fee. The user bought a game which he has received. Patches are NOT a guranteed thing as he didn not enter into any warrenty or support agreement (extra $$$). So he gets them for free in a format that the supplier finds conveinient - unfortunate for him but that is how it

Well first off, I did not make this up. I am 46 years old, both military and law enforcement experienced and now being fully retired due to injuries sustained in the line of duty in both careers. The 'home' I am moving to is in rural Wisconsin. There are MANY MANY locations in this country that are not even close to getting high speed internet. My youngest daughter lives 20 minutes south of Chicago.... they cannot even get regular TV channels let alone internet. <

A while ago in another discussion I commented how being forced to use services like Impulse or Steam were not something I am willing to accept for buying software. When able I purchase hard copy only. However based on many users here lamenting about how great Impulse is, I took a chance and purchased Sins and Entrenchment digitally via impulse... And now I am in the exact position I was worried about. I am now moving into a new home that has NO access to the intern

Reply to Star Trek **SPOILERS** in Everything Else Sins Forums

I thought the movie was great as well.. Much better than I truly expected. The question I was left with was the destruction of Vulcan.. What did I miss? I do not remember in the original series or any other series the mention of Vulcan being destroyed. And we know it remains that way because OLD Spock mentions finding a new planet to become the new Vulcan.. not to mention that he was even IN the past still at that point.<

Hell, it dl'd and installed 1.16 and I didn't even know there was a 1.16 until I saw the title of this thread.[/quote] The problem is that some people do not have internet access or very limited access. The problem also comes into play that many of us do not want to be forced to end up tied to requiring the use of internet just to use and play our purchased software.</

Reply to CTD no warning, no reason... in Technical Sins Forums

Hmm ok I wonder if this has anything to do with the processor type perhaps? This system is 64 bit and the Intel -7 -920 processor has 8 independent processory threads via 4 cores if I understand the lingo correctly.. Basically all the tools I use show 8 different CPU graphs when I open something like the system monitoring task manager. It also shows the same in the hardware list. This particular machine is brand new as well.. only a week old n

Reply to AMD's Reported 4870 X2 Max GPU Temperature in Technical Sins Forums

Hi, Those numbers do not seem right to me.. I have the 4850 1 gig which is almost identical to the 4870. My card runs at about 135 F degrees and 160 F degrees maxed so although you have the X2 version, 200 F degrees seems a bit high to me especially with the proper cooling and the fans working right. 200 degrees is like 392 degrees fahrenheit. That is hot. It almost seems your card is not using the fans properly or something else is going on with

CTD no warning, no reason... in Technical Sins Forums

Hi all, Was I wrong or did I read that there was a problem with the game simply CTD'ing to desktop after about 30-45 minutes of gameplay before the latest patches? Reason I ask, is I am having this problem. I just bought a new system: Gateway FX6800 w/intel i7 - 920 CPU, 3 gig mem, ATI HD 4850 1 gig, and so on.. I also purchased both SINS and SINS Entrenchment. The entire system is updated and current (ie all service packs and driver

[quote who="JSW_Ballz" reply="7" id="2097306"] Here's my question: once I uninstall entrenchment, how do I reinstall? Will impulse let me do it again? I'm too scared that I'll have to pay all over again. With original Sins, I can just put the disk back in... You will not have to pay again. I've had to reformat both of my computers in the past few months, switched both over to Windows 7 (one twice: 32 bit and 64 bit), and also updated the beta numous times. Also, I had to
