Well, as i see you have to make a peace teatry, they found your weak point :D

I installed the game and it works fine, but Ihave no sound. How do I get it to detect my sound card?

I've already patched my game and i still can't build more than two missserable shipssssssssssssssssssssss???? :help: :help:

You need to settle more systems with them - the number of ships you can build is 2x the number of systems you control IIRC. Make sure they've got a starlane drive, engine, generator and colony modules or they won't be much use.

To get sound to work in Win XP with this game, use VDM Sound, get it here:
http://www.abandonia.com/main.php?nav=programs


install the program, when done do this:


Go to the directory where you have installed Ascendancy, then rightclick on the file Setsound.exe, you get a small popup and then chose: "Run With VDMS" > chose standart settings for VDMS.
With setsound.exe you are starting the soundcard setup program for ascendancy, choose this soundcard in the setup:
Creative Labs Sound Blaster or 100% compatible
When done exit.

Now you start the game, rightclick on the file Ascend.exe , and chose "Run with VDMS" > chose standart settings, and you should be ok, the sound should now work in Win XP.

:kosta: soooo much thanks?????????????????????????????????

Will the patch fix the diplomacy pop up problem?

Example: I declare war on the minions.

Next Turn: They ask me to accept peace and stop the war.

My Allys are getting beat up why should I? What would you do?

I said NO!

So Next turn: Do you want to end the war and have peace? I TOLD YOU THE FIRST TIME NO! THE AWNSER IS NO!

The Next Turn: THE SAME THING! IT HAPPENS EVERY SINGLE TURN.

Turn 500: Do you want to end the war and have peace?

Turn 1000: Do You want to end the war and have peace?

SEE MY POINT NOW? It takes like what 1 SECOND TO END A TURN! I HAVE TO GO THROUGH 5BILION POP UPS JUST TO PLAY THE GAME!

Sorry for S P E L L I N G it out for you but no one understood. I cannot get the AI patch to work. I am deleting ascendancy due to I cannot play it. Thanks for the help everyone and by this is my last post. :wall: :wall: :wall: :wall: :wall: :wall: :wall: :wall:

I don't think the problem is that people don't understand your problem. To solve the problem either accept peace or destroy them.

But the problem of part of the problem it´s that the problem...

Come on, there isn´t any solution or there isn´t any problem :tomato:

Did I see an Ascendancy II in the works according to the web site? Man, there's nothing better than an whole new galaxy to explore, with loads of solar systems and planet's to inhabit and some but to kick.

Maybe I like Ascendancy because I could win. Spaceward Ho! for Windows is another really fun game, but my copy crashes on Windows XP about the 10th turn in. :ranting:
