No one is online?

November 23, 2011 11:51:01 AM from Sins of a Solar Empire ForumsSins of a Solar Empire Forums

Hi all i just bought the trilogy version from steam. I played the single player for a few hours then i want to see how the online is. I log into the ironclad online option. There was an option to "add players" but i did not see anyone to add.  Am I doing something wrong?

The "add players" option is the option to add a "player" for yourself to use when playing online. Once you create an ICO account (which you have already done) you need to then choose a name or a few to use online using "Add Player" - then, pick one of the names you created to use and you'll be able to select "Use Player" and then go into the main Sins lobby, where you'll see lots of other people online.

thanks wrath89 that was good info. I logged into the chat channel and there was only 1 other person there. on the join game option there was only one game. Is this the norm as far as online population?

All of the online action is on the Diplomacy server. Right now there are 107 players online and 10 people in the lobby.

The ordinary Sins and Entrenchment servers rarely have anyone on.

Make sure that your game says "Diplomacy v1.34" in the bottom right corner so that you know you've loaded up Diplomacy and not Vanilla or Entrenchment.
