Windows 7 and Entrenchment

from Sins Forums

Hello,

I installed Windows 7 Beta on my gaming machine to test it out.  So far I have found it to be pretty cool.  Well... better than Vista anyway which I only used for about a month before going back to XP. 

One problem I am having now which I did not have with Windows XP is this.  When ever I click on a structure to build it, it seems to be auto placing it.  I used to be able to pick a structure (Hangar's for example) and place them where I would think they would do the most good.  Now they seem to get placed in clumps around wherever a builder happens to be.

I don't remember that problem before installing Windows 7 Beta.  I'm not sure why Windows 7 would cause this, but thought I would report it.  I did not get any hits when I searched for Windows 7.

At any rate, I would expect this to be low on the stack of things to look at.  One because I have not read every single post in the forums and this may be some sort of known issue.  Two because Windows 7 is a Beta (I expected wierd behaviour). Three because Entrenchment is a Beta.  With all of that, I'm amazed the thing works at all. :)

FWIW: I have not seen any other problems with Sins on Windows 7.

Did you maybe accidentally hit a wrong button that set your planets to autoplace structures... you can try turning that off... Click on a planet and see the settings at the bottom control bar.

There is a toggle for autoplacement.  The button is along the bottom of the UI, to the right of the picture in the middle.  It looks like an infinity symbol with 3 blocks above it.  If the blocks are solid it means it is toggled on (or you could just hover your mouse over)

Yup that was it.  So that means there are no problems (as far as I can tell) with Windows 7.  Thanks for the responses guys!

I think it is supposed to be out this calander year at some point.  But this IS microsoft we are talking about and release schedules tend to be fuzzy at best.  I would guess the answer is "It will be out when its out." :)
