i'm not sure sins has a large enough player base to implement a matchmaking system like that

i mean if you look at just the custom games, nevermind ladder games, the list is always 5-6 times longer than what Sins has

A match-making service is in the works and should be up sometime this summer. This is something that could be used by all games distributed through Impulse, in particular Sins and The Political Machine 2008 will be the first two games to use it, followed by Demigod once that is released to beta.

idiot

It's coming.

When doing an auto matching making system, stardock will decide who gets to be the host. Whats so hard about making a stardock server being the host since the auto matching making program has to decide anyways.


If stardock continues to have players be the host, whats stops the host from just leaving the game and ruining the fun for all in a ffa. I've played plenty of games when the host just leaves cause they lost a few planets. And dont tell me that BS of 30 sec migrating garbage. It works maybe 30% of the time.

If stardocks starts hosting games, maybe, just maybe, this syncing mini-dump issue will go away.




Plus not everyone can host games. Why? Cause they dont know how to configure their router to do port forwarding. Your guide to troubleshooting on how to host is bad and leaves their computer open to attacks. Many have stated reason why its bad to use your guide so I dont have to reiterate them.

I would stop these post if I see stardock actually saying that they will start hosting games or they fix the need to adjust the settings on their router to host games.

BNET allows you to play their automatic game matching system without adjust your router. Only when you want to host custom, non ranked games do you need to port forward because u are the host and not BNET.


If these issues arent address, or even acknowledged by stardock (either by thumbs up or down (so I dont expect it in the next patch)) then how will stardock know to address and/or fix them if they believe its not a general problem. Even according to Frogboy he stated that minidumps DO NOT occur to a the majority and that 99.99% are playing minidump free.

The 1.1 patch will have NAT-T to allow anyone to host regardless of router/firewall settings, so this should become a non-issue.

im on trackiets side there are too many issues with this game and im tired of the lack of support do everything yourself and the fanboys. I paid my money and expected a working game not a glitched one. The same reason im not buying anymore from the developers of Two worlds i probably wont buy any more from here unless the fix the issues in a week.

Not being able to host at home is a user issue, but how about if you dont control the router, ie in school, or at a public ap.

But that will be all solved hopefully with 1.1

Is there an ETA for the 1.1 patch? Of course, everyone should assume that the ETA is a rough estimate and that it shouldn't be expected at that time, etc.

Newbie here , hope you folks dont mind me asking but whats impulse? and Im also wandering is the netcode done in such away after the latest patch that sins is nat aware now?

I have a router and I know how to port forward or failing this use DMZ (Sometimes seen as bad practice but have used in the past if a game just wont work forwarding ports)

Thanks

The Internet died.

It is suppose to be implemented into Impulse Reactor. Which is suppose to be in Rebellion. We will see.

Impulse was basically just a downloader.

Specifically read the note just above number 5 in the OP where it mentions the features.
