Reply to How to run 2 instances of SoaSE? in Technical Sins Forums

You'd need to do something with virtual machines as the game will look for other copies of itself when it launches. Sadly that's the extent of my knowledge.

Reply to Who is running 64-bit Windows right now? in Personal Computing Sins Forums

Win 64 Ultimate, on an AMD Phenom quad core. I do all sorts of gaming. Specifically 64 bit isn't a thing I look for, but I'm happy to see it.

Reply to Pre-order Discount for Sins: Rebellion Ends this Month in Sins News Sins Forums

The pre-order page is gone and the store wants to charge me full price. Looks like I missed out on the pre-order discount. I had hoped that it would have been extended to end of day today, but I guess not.

Excellent. Thanks. Ignore that keening sound, my credit card always makes that noise on payday. :D

Is the store going to be back up today? I had held off my pre-order to match my paycheck and would hate to miss it due to the store being unavailable.

Reply to Frog-2009 is looking to stay in Personal Computing Sins Forums

My home gaming machine still uses a nVidia 9800 GT card and it's been very happy with everything that I've thrown at it. My wife has an ATI 4770. I *may* update this year. My wife's computer needs a dual core processor, but beyond that, performance has stayed good for much longer then I've expected.

Reply to Im tired of the Artificial-(non)Intelligence cheating. in Sins Diplomacy Sins Forums

[quote who="MrTheBest" reply="10" id="2881137"]AI coding is actually something that mildly interests me, however, and IF i get into a coding career I might try my hand at some AI. But even with the current AI, it would be just as simple as some conditionals with a response, i.e. "larger enemy force in sector, my cap ship is low/destroyed-- response= retreat" or "Number of failed attacks on one planet>9000 -- response= find another planet to attack"[/quote] Hard coded conditionals i

9 days and two emails later, I'm still waiting on sales@stardock.com to clear up my order status, or even respond or acknowledge receipt of my emails.

Can we get some details about the desync bug? Where was it hiding?

Reply to Elemental: Limited Edition in Elemental Dev Journals Elemental Forums

As of now, I've heard nothing from sales@stardock. What's the turnaround time supposed to be? I sent my query in on the evening of the 9th.

Reply to Elemental: Limited Edition in Elemental Dev Journals Elemental Forums

I had the same situation, but went through with it anyways. However, it looks like I've been charged double shipping and something errored out with the order so even though PayPal tells me they gave money to Stardock, Stardock never confirmed that the order completed. I'm currently waiting to hear back from sales@stardock.com on this matter.

I'm 95% sure it is one starbase per player per gravity well, with the exception of stars, where it is four starbases per player.

Reply to New movement code in Elemental Dev Journals Elemental Forums

[quote] Since the code is now much simpler...[/quote] I love simple code. It's SOOO much easier to write and maintain. A lot of what I've been doing at my current job is to refactor and simplify code. Doing the same process faster and in less lines of code? Priceless!

Reply to Elemental Beta 1-B update in Elemental Dev Journals Elemental Forums

[quote]The Boot Sector handle lock issue is addressed on 32-bit machines but not 64-bit. As a result, most 64-bit machines will likely still experience a hard lock that will require reinstallation of the OS. [/quote] I think this needs to be made a feature. Personally, I enjoy doing a full reinstall after each game. Besides, it keeps things fresh. None of that cruft that accumulates after using Windows for any period of time. &nbs

Reply to Gaming With My Wife in PC Gaming Sins Forums

I got my wife hooked on Guild Wars. Later we moved to L4D and soon L4D2. I also built her a Warhammer 40k army (she has a heavily house-ruled sisters army) and we've played Space Hulk together. To top it off, she's a player in my monthly D&D game. It's a nice feeling.

Reply to Defeating piracy the Tropico way. in PC Gaming Sins Forums

Was the site in question a legit seller of the software though? This smells to me like your friend just paid some pirates for a (still) illegal copy of the game and is now at risk of credit card fraud.

Reply to Tactical Combat: Turn-based or Realtime? in War of Magic Elemental Forums

I only want turn based. If I want real time, I'll go play StarCraft. I am but one man, and I want time to consider my moves, and be able to react to the moves of my opponents. Anything else starts tending towards a clickfest and I don't have any desire to spend the hours it would require in order to simply train reactions. I want to win because I had the better units/strategy/whatever, not because I was able to out-click my opponent.

You should really go to that meeting before they come find you.... :) Also, why are you running an eval version of Win 7? I would have expected y'all to have MSDN licences and already be running the full version.

[quote who="Blair Fraser" reply="36" id="2383454"] Sometimes developers create updates and their publishers won't even let them out.[/quote] What sort of backwards thinking leads to that situation? "We have a patch that our community wants. It will revitalize the game and cure cancer." "They can't have it. We'd look like heroes and we don't hold with that sort of thing." "Ok then... Wait... what?"
