Reply to Moving Diplomacy (and everything I bought from Stardock) to another computer... in Sins of a Solar Empire Stardock Forums

No, I moved from XP Pro 32 to Win7 Ultimate 64 so the archive approach won't work. I also tried the registration link and fed it the 3 possible email addresses that I could have possibly registered it under and tried to send them to the one I know I registered Vanilla and Entrenchment under and it blew up each time. I'll send a mail off to Stardock and see what they say.

Moving Diplomacy (and everything I bought from Stardock) to another computer... in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

This is annoying... I am finally getting around to moving my Impulse library (which consists of SoaSE, Entrenchment, and Diplomacy) over to my new machine and when I reinstalled Impulse it now only has Vanilla SoaSE and Entrenchment but NOT Diplomacy. I put my old box back together and sure enough, Diplomacy is still there (and wanted to update itself) .... I copied the Serial Key out and tried to re-register it and I get a registration failure error saying either the serial number (whi

As a network engineer myself, I know what it feels like to track down that needle in haystack, or worse, in a stack of needles depending up what the problem is and I certainly don't evny you code writers trying to debug code to find that one bug that causes so much grief.

Well done Blair, looking forward to the patch.

I was perfectly sober, you dolt!! Seriously, we did see this in 2.0 and experienced it in 2.5 tonight playing the Gateway map with two Human (well, if Bfiguero is actually human, that remains to be seen) :) and 4 AIs. The game desynched within 10 minutes. He sent me his log files and I forwarded them on along with my own to the Support e-mail address and was floored when the Support person WROTE BACK (no, not just the autoresponder, a real reply) at 8:33PM PST.&n

Reply to Beta 2 - Sync Problems in Beta Feedback Sins Forums

We ran into this last night playing the Gateway map with 2 human and the rest AI - We tried backing up a few auto-saves and everything was still out of synch anyway and we gave up. Glad to see we aren't the only ones seeing it. Any idea when this will be fixed or what's causing it?

I'd agree that this game has an awful Online component. I'm a network engineer by trade and of all the online gaming systems, this is the ONLY one I've not been able to make work. No issues with Battle.net, Firaxis' Online Lobby, EA's ugly stepchild, Steam, Relic Online, et al. I and one of my of my friends purchased this game and neither of us can host. I have an enterprise grade firewall (a Cisco PIX) at home and do not enable the SP2 firewall, while he has a D-Link NAT r
