I love you guys!

We should start a DEVs fan club!

If you lose to someone on ICO, it was probably me. as long as they were a good sport too.

v1.1 is something people are going to really love I think because of the new network system that should basically eliminate the pain. We may have to do a bit of public beta testing because it's a complete re-design.

Im down for the game night

I just care about the new high resolution graphics   make shure to make them super high realistic. Im glad I have a PC that can handle high graphics

I sure hope you guys are gonna school Sid Meier and chuck a neat looking clock integrated into the interface. I know I could just check the time on a mundane 'meat' clock somewhere on my desk. But that isn't the point. I think it harms the immersive experience to 'break' with the screen area to look elsewhere in the room. That isn't why I have a 30-inch display. I think that an optional clock mounted halfway accross the top of the screen would do nicely. It can't be that hard, I'm still in awe that graphics have surpassed Super Mario Brothers 3 (in places). Thanks!

game developers getting involved?

Delicious.

Will 1.03 saved games work with 1.04?....

Usually the case is: no. This has been true since basically the first public beta. Also weird things tend to happen when you play a older version saved game...like I found out in Beta 3.

@ PaladinSmith

There is no "work-a-round" , just the way it needs to be done. There are many reasons (many of which have been brought up and discussed on these forums by myself and others) why the netcode is the way it is right now (I don't feel like wasting my breath for the 100th time explaining it all again). Suffice it to say that having netcode "tunneling" through/past routers/firewalls may be your idea of fun because "dammit it just works", however some of us here are a tad more concerned about what travels where on our networks (and are very glad that the "new netcode" will be optional).

On Feb 14th 2008 I published my SINS-specific guide "Networking and SINS" (I had already been helping people via my TS Server since release-day) and anyone (with the exception of those at university dorms, who will be helped with the optional netcode for v1.1) who is willing/able to read and follow instructions is able to "host". I can only write it down for you PaladinSmith, I can't read it for you!

Comparing games to one another from a network transport perspective is pointless and not a valid comparison to begin with. Even if games used the SAME exact port number they may be using a different transport protocol and using said in a very different manner than some "other" game. I have hosted and played (when I've had the time) this wonderful game since release-day (I even prepped the community with some basic networking knowledge a few weeks prior to release-day) and haven't had one single network-related issue. Certainly not something that can be said for some of the "other" games I've had the misfortune of playing in the last several years. Everyone who plays with me (regularly) is configured correctly, doesn't lag, doesn't drop and has a general good time!

You could always choose be one of those.   


....now back on topic! 1.04....yay!   

I'm hoping before we have this game day we get the problem with the login corrected as so those of us that are unable to log in will be able to. I have been woking with someone from support to get it resolved but to no luck I'm still unable to log in.
I have a friend that was logged in and I was on Ventrilo with him I asked him to add my name to see if I was online and there I was logged it. I had 999 latency he said but I was there.

Other then that I'm happy. Just tired of the 10 computer players wooping butt all the time but Hay if its not them its the pirates ....

Great Game and look forward to More Updates/Mods and expansions

awesome!
