HELP !!! Lost my CD key during Transit..

Submitted by ashbandy on Wed, 2008-01-02 01:34. Space Empires V General

Hi,

This is the first time for me on this Forum.

Am in a 'BIIG SOUP'(a lot of trouble) !!

First off, a bit of a background. I am in India. This game was a gift given to me by my brother, who's in the USA(since I'm a big fan of strategy games, and there are virtually no interesting strategy games in India).

Now somewhere during transit, the CD KEY has been misplaced, and I just cant seem to find the DAMN thing. Now there's seems to be no way to get another CD key(have been searching the internet for the last couple of weeks).

Is there absolutely any thing that can be done ? I'm even willing to buy a another copy of the same game (though I obviously prefer not to waste money getting the same thing obviously), but I dont have any way of buying it(in India that is, since they are not sold anywhere in India).

Retrofit bug?

Submitted by vbidez on Wed, 2008-01-02 05:21. Space Empires V FAQs

I retrofited some ships to a new design, and after the ships were done repairing, I saw that the movement had been cut in half. It should have been 13 and it was now 6. Is this a bug?

Lockup during processing after all player turns

Submitted by jpcory on Wed, 2008-01-02 10:42.

It looked like it was fixed, but it just locked up on this latest version as well. Didn't lock up until after V 1.44. I am 41 days into the game.

Adding mods to SEV dowloaded from STEAM

Submitted by Commander Klank on Wed, 2008-01-02 10:49. Space Empires V FAQs

Greetings,

I purchased SEV from STEAM and it downloaded the STEAM client onto my computer so I can play the game...

The thing is I can't seem to find the SEV game folder (with the entire game in it) to apply any mods. STEAM has a file for SEV in it but it's not the entire game.

I did a game back up but STEAM made a weird file that I can't open to install the game onto my hard drive.

Anybody got any idea on if I can put mods into the STEAM version of this game?

Thanks in advance

Balance Mod 1.12 - orange stars for warp points, nebulae etc

Submitted by davor79 on Wed, 2008-01-02 18:28. Space Empires V General

Hiii all,

Finally I've succumbed to using "a mod" after insisting on standard since buying SEV.

As soon as I started a game I get all warp points replaced by large orange star images... is this part of the mod or am I missing something. I mean, it does not look cool. Am I supposed to mod it or what?

The same occurs in places where I'm supposed to see nebulae and asteroid belts.

Can you please confirm if this is a known bug perhaps, or purposely done.

thanks,
davor

ground combat Fighters not having supply

Submitted by althumbs on Wed, 2008-01-02 18:46.

This was a current game when i update to 1.66. I also using 1.12BM. This happens about 40% of my ground combat actions. All unist are the same design and 50% of my fighters retreat because of a lack of supplies. It is always 50% of the units. I mainly use just fighters for ground combat. So i can tell if this happens with ground units.

Now on STEAM

Now on STEAM!Space Empires V via STEAMSpace Empires IV via STEAMSTEAM online by Valve Corporation
