How do you get the beta files through Stardock? I have already purchased Sins of a Solar Empire, and it says the current version is 0.70, and I have a valid serial number entered, though I cannot figure out how to let me download. How do I download?

Make sure that "Show pre-release versions" is checked at the bottom of Stardock Central when you're in the Games section. That'll do it.

Just select it in SDC and click the install button next to it. Make sure you have 'show prerelease versions' checked at the bottom.

just to confirm, July 31 has passed (it is aug 12) and I have no pre-order in. So, if I pre-order now I will have to wait to play the beta 3 OR the final retail but certainly cannot get the beta 2 at this point??

thanks.

You can stile join beta 2, by using tokens to get it. Thats the only way to get into beta 2 NOW
But if you preorder today in the normal way, you will be able to join the beta 3 around late august early september

yes, but I do not have five tokens. I suppose I will try to get them as I am pre-ordering the game using the token method.

Look around , maybe there is another game you want, or see if you can get a refund for the 5 you didn't use , or just save them for the inevitable expansion...

I think I'll make a thread about TotalGaming.net, since there's been so many token questions raised.

I found out about this tonight and i'm willing to pre-order it for the beta.

however I'm confused by the advice above, do I need to get a totalgaming membership to get this game? Or simply pre-order the game through clicking on the pre-order with 5-tokens, and buy it from there?

Can anyone please walk me through it? Thanks

hmmm , well Yarlen never did write up proper instructions, but I believe if you order VIA the link for tokens it gets you right in!

pretty sure you have to buy the tokens first, if kosc's way doesnt work:

If you dont already have a TGN username and password, go here https://www.stardock.com/createaccount.asp?Site=TotalGaming
and get one.

to get tokens
http://totalgaming.stardock.com/store/index.aspx?page=purchasetokens

and go here http://totalgaming.stardock.com/games/?id=SINS
and preorder it

Hope kosc was wrong

Your forum account is the same thing - it works across all of Stardock's websites. You don't need to make another.

If you want to get into Beta 2, you can pay $69.95 to become a TotalGaming.net member and receive 10 tokens. You can then spend 5 of those for Sins and immediately download the beta, all future betas of the game, and the final version.

Or, if you want to wait for Beta 3, you can use a credit card. You'll be charged $44.95 when Beta 3 is released (you may see a hold on the funds for a few days, which depends on your bank).

Hmmm, so I have to wait until Beta 3 to join in the fun? I didn't read the FAQ til after I already preordered the game. Oh well, I kinda didn't want to deal with tokens (I already own GalCiv 2/Dread Lords).

Has there been an exact date for Beta 3 announced somewhere?
