As you probably noticed, there are some big changes to the Sins of a Solar Empire website!  We have updated the layout and design in part due to the upcoming Sins: Rebellion.  The site also streams our feeds from Facebook and Twitter, so you can easily follow what we are saying and doing on those services.

We hope you enjoy the new look, and be sure to keep checking for new media content for Sins of a Solar Empire: Rebellion!

Ever since the website update, every page is taking 5 to 10 seconds to load in Chrome. As in 5 to 10 seconds at 100% CPU. It was pretty bad before (took a few seconds) but is horrendous now. For some reason Firefox doesn't have this problem.

I have heard that the problem is related to a bug Chrome has with Webkit and the background image, but unfortunately Chrome Adblock cannot block background images.

Also, when I mouse over a reply in the forum, CPU usage goes to 100%, and often the reply shrinks horizontally to a pretty thin line. Very weird.

Example: While mousing over Ryat's reply, the following happens on my reply:

Quite unusual. Once the mouse leaves the area, it goes back to normal. The compressed reply is always the one right below the reply where the mouse is. So if the mouse is over the very last reply nothing happens.

If anyone else is using Chrome, could you confirm if you are experiencing either of these too, or if it's just me?

I'm using chrome and I'm fine.

Hmm. Have an updated version, disabled all my extensions, but the problems are still there.

Well, wouldn't be the first time Wikipedia was wrong in some way.

Well, in these case, Wikipedia have similar value that these of Microsoft :

http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/products/system-requirements

As for the physical memory limit and processor limit, look at :

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa366778%28v=vs.85%29.aspx

Interesting to see at the same link that only desktop 32 bit OS are limited to 4gb or less... non desktop 32 bit version can reach a max of 64 gb...

As your 800 mb win7 x64, it is like my 300 mb xp pro x64... we both know our system and how to tune it... hey, i have directx 10 on XP , what was say to not be possible by microsoft... Problem is that the usual JoeUser don't know enough about computer and his not able to tune it...

in fact, with XP, the basic configuration in case of 4 gb is 2 gb application and 2 gb OS... same if the OS don't use the 2gb, it is reserved... at the previous link, down the page, click the "4-Gigabyte tuning" link and it explain how to increase the memory who can be used for application from 2gb to 3gb... How much from the Joeuser know about it?

Pretty sure that win7 x64 is great in some way... but putting a F1 driver ( win7 ) in a FordT ( computer with only 4gb ram or less ) don't make the car ride over 250 km/h !!!

There is also the concept that such memory requirements is usually for when the application is running at maximum. I have a gadget that allows me to evaluate my memory and CPU usage. At start up or some other fancy Windows application I hit 2 gigs. But when it settles down to idle, 1 to 1.2 gigs on mine and other machines I work on seems to be the norm. And usually when running a different application Windows behaves and stays in idle.

Win7 64x is basically WinXP with Vista styling and a few things that were done correctly on Vista with all its garbage removed.

Quoting Thrawn2787, reply 25Neato. Now how about early and immediate private alpha / beta access...

... 

 

What is the point of asking the same question that they keep answering all over the forums? You realize that they aren't even to the 'in-house' alpha level yet right?

 

'Immediate' ... not threatening language at all. 

 

Wasn't a threat, I was just hoping for Rebellion to magically show up on my impulse account

I'm using chrome and I'm fine.

It seems to happen in various browsers. My android phone and firefox install does the same thing as that pic above. It works ok in Chrome and IE 8 on my machine. 

I'm also unable to post karma in anything but Chrome, except it looks like this

It slow for me via IE8 and I get the same thing Wraith is posting via IE8 and Firefox.

Likewise, except there was also one point where everything on the screen shifted all the way over to the left and the Sins background didn't show up, but that was 2-3 days ago and it hasn't happened since.

Also, I've noticed no change in my speed, I just get the wierd shifting when I mouse over a post above another.  I use Windows 7 and I have IE8.  Just thought I'd mention it.

fyi, the journals page... the pictures are not displaying

@Zombie: I just tried bringing up the Karma popup.  It goes completely behind the main panel in my window.

on Sep 04, 2011

I can't even bring up a Karma window right now for some reason...  =\

on Sep 04, 2011

I also am having issues with the karma window in firefox 6.01.

Well, when you look at the page source, it seem that almost all problem, like the "karma" thing is related to javascript code...

There can be several reason why javascript don't work perfectly :

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Javascript#Compatibility_considerations 

Now, a brower is not the other... the DOM interface is different for each engine... in fact, no browser meet fully all the core fundamental :

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_layout_engines_(Document_Object_Model)#Core_.28Fundamental.29

Presto is from Opera, Gecko from Firefox, Trident for MSI, WebKit for Google Chrome... 

Will be more easy for the web dev to have all engine who fully implement the W3C standardization... So, if you have problem with the forum, don't complain here ( unless you can reproduce the problem with any browser )... complain to the dev who have create your browser...
