Reply to Henious amount of freezing up going on in Technical Sins Forums

[quote] If it is NVidia 7 series related then I am worried as I am running a 7 series card. I may need to upgrade if I experience problems. At the moment I am still downloading so hope for the best [/quote] I too run a 7 series card and have the same prob on vista 32bit, but I don't think it is worth upgrading over. It is likely a driver issue and will be fixed before too long as is often the case with new released games these days.

yup, same problem here too, it is frustrating but definitely not a show-stopper (yet) Specs: AMD X2 4200+, 2GB RAM, Nvidia 7800gtx (latest whql drivers) and Vista 32bit. The only frame rate issue I get other than this is the first time a texture/object appears as it is loaded in. Once I've seen it once I no longer get a stutter.

I just got my serial but am unfortunately at work so no download for me at the moment, but I just wanted to say that even though I was slightly peeved at the wait for the code I had I don't think it is enough to simply label SD as having terrible customer service. Over the years I have been in contact with SD support for various reasons and never found them anything but helpful. For instance, I recently closed down an email account forgetting that GalCiv was still tied to it, a simple

I remember that my Acorn Electron used to cause radio interference on the radio station my mum to at the time. She was never happy when she heard the sound of neeeyown-pew pew beeeep over the top of her programmes :D I often miss them simpler days. The computer magazines I used to get never used to have the 'free game' on the cover but rather had the code printed inside for you to program into your comp. Happy days. That said, I'm glad they still don't do that these days!!!

Reply to Will it cost me 44 dollars if im from australia? in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

As far as I know, and this includes prior experience of SD software, you'll be paying the US$ price. edit: It sucks that games cost as much as they do in this part of the world (have just moved from the UK - NZ and am experiencing the sizable price jump first hand). :( /moan

Oh yeah, I remember pong. I'm hoping for something a little more in depth with Sins though! I miss Manic Miner, Arcadians and something that was on the Amiga called Wreckers. I do agree though that nostalgia is best left in the past. Firing up Elite II for the first time in years really bummed me out as it wasn't all that I remembered it to be :SNIFF!:

Reply to Time Q for DEVs in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

I'm in New Zealand, it sucks to be so far ahead - it is pretty much tuesday for us when it comes out. Yes, I know it is still the same amount of time to wait, but it's a psychological thing...
