I can get on fine and all...but once in game, when I click on a button, there is alike second delay before 'x' is built.  Also, I noticed that it starts out very fast.  Meaning that everything is sped up faster than the highest setting for some reason.  I'm not complaining about the speed thing but I wish there was a faster setting...

Thanks

Basicly just recently i was playing a game with infernal creator, i gues but i didnt realize until later that i was disconnected about 40min to hour into our game, now warning sign at all when i went to our chat log it says that we were dissconnected from ICO so it was like i was playing an easy ai that just sits.

Thanks to all of those that help us track it down.

I can't even get in too. It says "Disconected from Ironclad Online" "Network Error".

I've been trying to get on ICO for a few minutes now and refuses to let me connect. Both me and my friend Joe are experiencing this problem.

Is there some kind of maintenance going on?

same for me, it won't log me in... seems server is down or crashed or anything...

cant log on

edit: so will we be able to play at all today?

I can't still log on too. it kips coming up"network Error" "disconected from ironclad online". i have a portable internet pendrive. i don't know if i have to do anything diferent than in a fixed modem.

same to me... from beginning : connection to ironclad lost or something.. cant logon, cant make account, cant do anything.. call the guys from egosoft.. they know how to take care of their customers..

Loggin works for me but rapant dysnc durring games is really whats killing me at the moment.

Read the FAQ - you need to open some ports in your firewall to connect to ICO.

If you are having issue connecting, try turning off your firewall for a second and see what happens. If you get the issue, it is something else, if you don't get it, then the issue is your end.

I suggest opening your config.setting file (for me (Vista) it is found at C:\Users\XXX\AppData\Local\Ironclad Games\Sins of a Solar Empire\Setting)

Open the ports it mentions and if you want to host, ensure you are port forwarding 6112 to your game PC from your router.

GameHostPort 6112

GameBroadcastPort 6000  (this could be some other port such as 6001)

IcoServerPort 7000

I hope I got that right and that it works. The reason why this is different and people think it doesn't work (and it does really - I only have issues when my PC 192.168.1.X address changes, or a alter modem/router settings) is that this game uses P2P rather then traditional client/server (with the exception of the ICO lobby part - since that is like IRC).

Good luck
