Ok I'm getting a "Setup is not supported by Windows XP x64" message when trying to install this Impulse dealy. Could someone point me towards a fix for this, or the right place for an answer if this is the wrong place to ask.

I'd like to try this beta on my currently fully working x64 copy of SoaSE

I have ideas for new patch. A brand new animation system, like we know Sins ship is lack of animation. Like capital ship cannon, their gun is not move just the sprite that move. Sometimes it break the feel of massive warfare, because all unit didn't have more animation. Can Ironclad add new animation system in next patch after balancing and working alloy engine.

Is there any plan for releasing updated forge tool for modders?
Yes, we'll release beta versions shortly. We'd like to provide them as soon as possible so that mods can be ready when 1.1 is out of beta.


Can't wait, already messing around with the new textures.

I found a small graphic bug in the Kol.

If you look closely, the right autocannon's muzzle effect needs to be rotated. It's currently firing into the ship.

I am trying to register my sins game so I can get beta. When it says enter serial code, does it mean Code on inside of Box or something else that I'm missing?

The serial code and CD key are the same thing. It should be on a sticker above the disc-holder in the box.

FYI,
I downloaded and installed the patch, and played a very nice game with it. Love what you have done. HOWEVER, there appears to be some conflict with mods. I tried running my 7 DEADLY SINS mod, and I get a runtime error and then a dump to the desktop. This is a serious issue now for me, as I cannot work on the mod as now the game won't allow it, the DEV.exe will not work, nor will the Particle or Galaxy Forge. Can something be done ASAP so that I can get back on track, or do I need to uninstall everything, and then continue on with 7 DEADLY SINS without the 1.1 patch?
PLEASE GET BACK TO ME. Thank you!

It should be a no-brainer that the patch would break mods Blair posted that they're going to release the new mod tools soon so people can get their mods updated for 1.1.

but I am very interested in hearing about the new explosives engine. For those of you who have played the new beta, any comments on it? How does it look? How is it different?

It's very nice. Screenshots don't do it justice.
The beta doesn't seem to have many bugs, either.

Tell XP to run the installer in 32-bit mode and that should do the trick.

Are the graphical updates compatible to bailknight's mod? His mod improves 1.05 so much; it would be nice to have it as a 'standard' game feature everyone has instead of a mod.

I figured as much too, but I just didn't think it would totally mess them up. But if they are going to put out a mod pack for the beta, then that would be great. It would also be great if we could get a rundown of all the hardcodes now. That would make things a lot smoother. I would love to be able to take advantage of the new changes, but I guess I need to see exactly what changed, got removed, or added, so that I can adjust the mod to get on track. Hopefully this will all be made available soon. Thanks Annatar. Hopefully the DEVS will respond too.

If I install the Beta, does that mean that I can only play with other people who have the beta? Can the beta be turned on and off like a mod so that I can play with people who don't have the beta?

I like the gameplay adjustments-different and a little better. Slightly quicker.

Bugs encountered: Pathing mostly. When I would move my fleet sometimes part of it would take a different route through an enemy territory. I was playing as Vasari. This happened numerous times. Sometimes the part of the fleet that took the other path, when it reached the other gravity well, would attempt to rejoin my flagship by taking a direct path to the flagship's current gravity well location. It took this path despite the planet's not having a phase lane link, and they would move at sublight speed.

No, it can't be turned on and off. If you install it, the only way to play with people who don't have it is to uninstall the game and reinstall it with the 1.05 archive or re-download with "show pre-release" disabled.

Do you have a save of this? Ship behavior issues are very hard to reproduce from scratch, saves/replays do wonders.

Also, bugs need to be posted in Beta Feedback in a separate thread.

Hello Stardock

I don`t understand why you couldn`t launch the sins beta 1.1 from the original stardock central program. I have so much problems with that impulse program on windows vista. It cant connect to the server because he cant connect to the internet, but i have a internet connection and no firewall running. The original stardock central program works fine no problems at all. When install the impulse program and i run it the program is asking for my account and password, when i`ve entered it i press log in and the i get the message can`t connect to server. Then from that point on i am totally stuck.

i hope you can help me or please launch it from the stardock central program it works alot better.

regards Jorgen

I have to say I'm quite impressed with Impulse, it seems quite robust. It's also good to see that the next generation distribution is here.

Hopefully one day the music industry will follow.

I think it's part of their copy protection and anti-piracy scheme.

Have you tried right click, run as admin? That did wonders for me on my vista 64 notebook. Otherwise I get an "NOT ABLE TO CREATE TEMPORARY DIRECTORIES" error.
And well... It's not the right thread for this, but I cant download Nexagon: Deathmatch through Impulse. I get an "Unknown problem. Download did not complete" error.
Anyway, hurray for Impulse! Lovely interface! My only gripe so far (exept for the Nexagon debacle) is that the preferences are hidden under the stardock icon. It's far from obvious that it's "clickable". You might consider having a separate Prefs tab.
Cheers!

does this impulse have any dodgy new copy protection schemes? Like securerom? Just looking at the other posts and starting to worry its gonna be messy if i have a computer crash.
Is this updatew really 1.5gig? If it is thats awesome!!!

No progress bar as far as I can see - dodgy.... oh wait it turned up 5minutes after i pressed start...
now that its started downloading I know how big it is and whether it will affect my ISP download limit.
Only 216mb

stupid question, where does the patch go after its downloaded?
I forgot to press archive, which i assume would have saved me a copy

I have tried windows temp and the stardock/impulse temp directories. I have always been able to archive from this before

No, it doesn't. It just isn't published on SDC or released as a standalone, which means you need Impulse installed and the game registered with a valid key to download.

There's no new DRM scheme

stupid question, where does the patch go after its downloaded?


Doesn't go anywhere, it patches the game automatically You always archive the whole game of whatever version, not the patch file itself, as far as I understand (I haven't used the archive feature yet).

I am still trying to register my game so I can get the beta. But when I put in the serial code and hit the Add Registration button I get ref:204. I know the e-mail and CD code are right so what is going on?
