Few Digitial Download questions

February 8, 2008 10:11:42 AM from Sins of a Solar Empire ForumsSins of a Solar Empire Forums
Hi, I've been following this game for a while but just had a few questions about the digital download. Searched the forums and couldn't find one answer I was really looking for.

If I buy the digital download will I be able to redownload the game later if I reformat or buy a new computer? Also, the downloaded version will be compatible with retail versions correct? Thanks in advanced.

Yes and yes. There's no limit to how many times you can re-download. You'll need to authenticate it once per windows install, so that part's not a big issue either. And the download version is the same as the box

I may be a bit dense, but I can't find a manual with the digital download version. (I ordered the box too, so maybe I just have to wait it out?)

The manual is in the directory of the game. Or in the Stardock directory, I don't remember.

I dont think you need to even re-authenticate, you just login with your normal username and no matter what computer you are on you can see all the games there.
