Playing sins of the solar empire

Alright alright, I spent the entire morning trying to figure out how to properly instal this game. I had downloaded the whole 1.13 GB file last night, so today morning, upon installing, I got a rude awakening from the system saying that I needed to enter the Activation key!

And if you notice, there is no activation key in the folder of the 1.13 GB file. Therefore you would need to download the patch. Now, if you’re a nut like me and you don’t know exactly which patch to download, just follow my steps below:

1. Download Sins of the Solar Empire Trinity (It covers the full game, the Diplomacy Upgrade and the Entrenchment upgrade – hence Trinity 😛 )

You can download it off from here:

(There is another file you need to download, refer to step 4).

2. Once the download has finished, go ahead and mount the game (the file is an ISO file, so you need to either mount of burn) . Just search for some ISO mount software on google. There are plenty free ones out there.

3. Once you’ve mounted the game, then just run the ISO file. The installation process should start. Just install it to your hard drive.

4. Once the installation process is completed, then you need to download another file. This file is the patch which allows you to bypass the stupid activation key.

5. Once you’ve gotten both the files, just extract the 2nd file and proceed with the installation. Make sure you install the patch file into the same directory…otherwise it won’t work! The file contains two folders, one for the game itself the other for the Entrenchment update. I’ve only tried for the one with the game only. I didn’t try the other one yet cuz I am halfway through a session and installing the upgrade will wipe out my existing save game files, but I’m sure it will work as well.

Anyway this is all…it’s an amazing game, if you’re into those sci-fi shows 😛
