Sins of a Solar Empire Update Schedule

A sneak preview

from Sins Forums

Despite the phenomenal success of Sins of a Solar Empire both in terms of sales and in reviews, we are just getting started! Ironclad and Stardock have a whole host of goodies in the pipeline for Sins of a Solar Empire.

First, we've decided to split the next major update into two parts. This way, we can release an update sooner. 

The first update will be called Sins of a Solar Empire v1.04.  This version will contain some balancing updates based on player feedback, more computer AI updates, and other game play tweaking. 

The second update will be Sins of a Solar Empire v1.1.  This will be a more significant update providing a considerable overhaul of the multiplayer system with more features and updated networking code to make it more robust under a whole series of circumstances. I can't go into too much detail but it's pretty cool stuff.  v1.1 will also include new graphical options including one with very high resolution textures.

After v1.1, we'll see where we're at and go from there.  Stay tuned!

Hi, its great to see Devs listening to there customers. I have no doubt that a bright future is in store for both Stardock and Ironclad. My only question is that as far as graphical improvements go, will there be animation or moving parts added to units?

They've answered this one back in beta as a no. It would require a redesign of the meshes, and at this point take too much time/resources for a minor benefit.

Awww man,thats a waste.

No big deal anyway.

Could we have a build in mp3 player too?Im not saying that the music is bad(in fact,it's damn good,especially the main menu music) but i would love to have the chance to put my own music into too.Would be awesome to listen to Explosion in the Sky while playing Sins.

Can't you just use a multimedia keyboard, or given the lack of that, designate some universal hotkeys that doesn't affect Sins? Or even better, play in windowed mode.

Perhaps an option to pre-fill in homeworld and flagship names under player options? I'd rather not have to set it every single game.

EDIT: Also race as well.

lol, that'd exactly what I've been doing :) I use winamp though, with global hotkeys.

Thanks a ton for the updates. Keeps the game interesting and increases value on the purchase. You guys are the champions of customer service.

On a side note, it's nice to see the forum getting more constructive. I was a bit hesitant to participate due to negativity and petty bickering in too many posts.

These updates sound fantastic, and the ones released so far have been as well. I was very satisfied with my purchase, but this incredible support is what makes me want to keep buying from Stardock/Ironclad in the future. Here's hoping these two continue to collaborate on games.

Later this week, hopefully, according to this post:

Sounds like a great plan, Brad. Keep up the fine work.This isn't directly related, but any word on Nvidia fixing issues on their end that relate to Sins?


How does this bug work? any idea when a fix will be around for people with laptop geforce cards?

The new patches sound wonderful, and it;s great to see a company that supports their game in regards to player feedback.

I just read a progress report from Nvidia. Things are looking promising. As far as I'm aware there is just some final testing to do and we just sent them the v1.04 candidate to test their Sins specific driver on.

This beta driver is now available via Nvidia's website. Just look under their beta drivers section.

Please note that this is a new driver for all Nvidia 6x00, 7x00, 8x00 and 9x00 video cards.

Looking forward to the next update. Great game that is forcing me to figure out when I can fit sleep into my schedule. Good thing I own my own business and no-one can tell me when to work.

What about a schedule for the provision of better mod and mapping tools?

Unlikely, but laptopvideo2go.com probably has or will soon have a modded .inf for the new driver that will.

That was a waste of bandwidth. If you're having a problem with the game and expect anyone to help you, provide details. Maybe you could even search the forum to see if your problem has already been addressed.
