Sounds great, but I definitely agree that the overlay or at least a notification sound when you get a chat message would be great. Additionally, I'd love to be able to apply the impulse overlay to non impulse games (don't think there is a way now). If that were available, I think it'd be a great help, because at least for me, being able to use steam chat in and out of almost game I want is a huge benefit, but steam chat is annoyingly flaky at times and I'd love a better option.

It's the program they replaced impulse with. Served the same functionality, just a lot uglier. It's how I got all my sins patches before 1.1. I'm surprised it still works, I guess that the new impulse setup gives the patches to sdc anyway.

Way to remind them that this isn't a crusade, just a bunch of honest people looking not to get screwed. Why is it that I want to buy something from you guys every time you make an opiniated post? Moral of the story: perfection is always the enemy of good enough and in this case, way better than it needs to be.

[quote]I don't understand why it doesn't autoupdate the game like steam does. Such a hassle for everyone.[/quote] Considering the number of times I cursed out steam for that very feature (I have ridiculously fast internet at college and slow at home and it always seems steam updates my games when I'm at home), I'm not sure it's a wonderful idea, because it takes away from peoples' ability to game anywhere and any place they choose. However, if it weren't for the fact that such request

I've got the same problem, but it starts immediately with the crunchy sound. It seemed to get better when I turned AA off, I'll see what happens on low settings sometime soon, but there's no way my computer should need to run on low.

I've gotta be honest, to me SD has a Q2-3 release policy, because every game of theirs since galciv 2 (bless brian clevinger for posting a link of that pc gamer article on 8-bit theater) I've preordered, including elemental sometime this week, and I've gotta be honest, sins beta 2 was my favorite game during it's lifspan, but I really like the idea, even if summer seems to have an even bigger dearth of games and have a little more time since the wallet-emptying glut of games in Q4.

I'm still voting for cthulhu. Don't settle for the lesser evil! I like the slogan, though. If I could run as cthulhu in the direngi election, I would buy the game in an instant.

Honestly, a working DRM isn't all that hard to implement. Just set autoexec to rewrite the boot sector. Done, no chance of copying now [e digicons]:X[/e] . I give it three years. Also, spartan, I would advise you to wonder why that guy in the black car is wearing an agent earpiece. Just friendly advice [e digicons]:P[/e] , I know declaring random people is completely acceptable in the dmca. This is really getting rediculous. The worst bit is if I buy these guys' games, I'll need to crack it

My biggest problem with EA isn't the DRM, it's that they're deliberately trying to stifle any and all innovation and replace it with throwing money at the graphics so the smaller companies don't have the cash to compete. Well, that and the fact that they keep buying good studios just so they can put a graphic on the box which contains the same formulaic dross. In much the way that impulse is now my first place to go for games, I will only buy an EA game if I'm truly desperate. I bought crysis

[quote]Not only would I like to preserve your butchery of spelling, but it's also interesting that if anything Sins was probably harder to market.[/quote] Agreed. Plus sins helped you guys get a lot of attention that you didn't have going in. Forgboy just likes to make everything look hard so he can look glorious when it all works perfectly [e digicons]:grin:[/e] . Beats doing it to avoid looking bad hands down [e digicons]:P[/e] .

I did not miss it, I merely misunderstood it. Thanks for clarifying it, I need sleep. I though he meant that it would get buggy as sin, not refuse to start. Sorry, stupid.

It'd be good to let the devs know about it so they can fix it because the next person may care.

[quote]I can't show my exact numbers, but with Regulus' range maxed, he can shoot farther than he can see...Does anyone else find an issue with this?[/quote] No, I don't. He can hide behind his lines to snipe or can pick off buildings. If he had as much sight range as he did attack range, he'd be way too easy to exploit. Firing across one of those square chasms, for example.

maybe you accidentally started demigod twice? That's the most plausible situation I could think of.

Or you could just be a computer, they seem to teleport at the start of the game into a decent position. [e digicons]:grin:[/e] and no, what you describe isn't in the game now.

[quote]1) When you have four of the same item (ie:potions) there will be a stack of 3, and a stack of 1. When you click on the 1, it will take from the 3 stack.[/quote] Should be the other way around, so if you use one it frees up your inventory slot. [quote]2)Forts can see past the fog of war. I've seen a friendly fort fire at an area I couldn't see[/quote] I think it's firing at the buildings, which can't move and should be fair game for siege. <p

Always good to know. I think I've left itunes open too when I've run DG, so that likely works too. Uses a lot more RAM, but oh well.

Yeah, keeping their spawn gates should be highest priority after defending the stronghold proper if even that (3 gates v 1 = pwnd and you may need to get another gate to stay alive).

Definitely a good idea, if you aren't looking at the gold/xp meter, it's invisible, but if you want to know you can also see your income.

Very odd. You always get this even when you don't have anything else open? Try opening your task manager beforehand so you can see how much ram it tries to use when it opens. I'm really not sure what could be causing that other than an inexplicable lack of memory.

The one with the 2 towers of light is known if you're talking about what I think you are. You mean the pair that's got a horseshoe of wall between them?

You have German windows, so it is possible that you have a unicode character in your username and that's causing the error. If so, add a user name that is only ascii (no umlauts and no sharp s's)

Then I think a force focus would be the best way to deal with it if they can't fix it a better way.

Potions are good. It's not really that bad a problem, at least it has a quick and easy fix.
