wizisi2k: has anyone been able to play this game online? I bought it looking to play with ppl who weren't out to gut me in terms of expertise only to find out... nobody's online. Weirder still, it seems that there IS some kind of connectivity between GOG and Steam as my username was taken online. I disabled my firewall to no avail. I don't know what else to do
The multiplayer button says Ironclad Online, which was the multiplayer system used since the original Sins release. I think the usernames have persisted since then, so even if we are segregated it all shares the same usernames. This is somewhat annoying, as the person squatting on my username is
me.
Anyways, there was a developer post in the Stardock announcement thread last month confirming that (at least for the time being) GOG and Steam multiplayer are separate. Seeing as the game has only been available on GOG for less than 24 hours at this point, I'd give it
a little time before multiplayer fills up. Hopefully it does get going and doesn't stay a ghost town; Sins of a Solar Empire is one of my favorite mutliplayer RTS games of all time and I'd love to hop back in.
I'll be checking in throughout the weekend, hopefully we can get a classic-style 5v5 on random large going.
