@ Aurellious,

Sorry, not going to happen.

We are here to help you get it downloaded with IMPULSE though, so what have you all tried?

Made sure you've got "show pre-release versions" selected after clicking the blue ORB?

Made sure to put a check-mark into use "new download mechanism" under PREFERENCES after clicking the blue ORB?

Post back with more specifics and I'll be glad to offer more help...

IMPULSE is here to stay, best to find a way to work with it.

wtf? Stardock way to make a porblem into a bigger one, This Impulse bullshit is giving me the run around and i have been processing for the last hour and guess what, nothing is happening. makes me wish that i didnt waste $40 buying this game

I sincerely hope that the need to load .NET onto my computer in order to do a simple download for a game update is only temporary, and that after beta I can download this normally. If I have to add .NET, then sorry, I don't like your games enough to saddle my computer with that junk just to do a download, particularly when you'd only require that because of some bogus marketing reason ("need to get their eyes on Impulse!").

For people who won't get the .NET stuff, they'll figure out a way or go away. The +58karma Monk gives perhaps the nicest "STFU" post ever.    The Impulse only warning has been around for a long time now.

Still most will DL the .NET crud out of sheer necessity and choke on their pride later. Remember, it's only your soul dying, after that nothing really hurts.

No. The beta was announced for mid July, the full release at end of summer sometime (1-2 months of testing).

The rest is your personal opinion which a lot of people won't agree with and I won't bother debate.

It'll be as mod friendly as the other patches? I really don't know why you'd think otherwise Tin foil hat off!

Almost all mods won't work with 1.1. The only one I've seen work is the sound mod.

Not entirely sure what will need to be changed with the mods as we don't know what has been changed in the .entity files.

And yeah,I don't bother using the forum search function either. I use google.

So I'm trying to download and install the Implulse application. I have tried on both XP SP2 32bit box and a Vista 64bit box. Each time with the same result, an error message: "The Impulse setup program is unable to download files from the Internet to complete the installation process. Please check your Internet connection and firewall settings and retry setup. The Impulse installation will now exit. Note: You can also visit www.ImpulseDriven.com to download an updated version of the Impulse setup program."

"Error IMPD01-300"

Each time I tried with my norton firewall disabled and my computer placed in the DMZ. I also download and ran the installer from the site(saving and then running and also tried running from ie temp folder). I clear the ie cache each time. I also tried with fire fox.

  What gives? Is this apart of the game? I just want to download this beta patch and have some fun this afternoon. Am I suppose to hold down a secret key sequance while running the installer? Please help! I love you games and the Impulse concept seems intresting, but by the volume of complaints on this fourm, you have a problem. I think that it is time for some transparency and a dedication of resources to resloving these problems.

I got an install/download error as well with Impulse (just a few days ago).
So i had to use stardock central to install Sins, then i used Impulse to update the game.

wtf is with this impulse bull.....
now i cant even update without it screaming this at me
"the serial number you have entered is not recognized by impulse and only serial numbers provided by stardock will be accepted"

so what? the serial number on the box isnt from stardock now?
ive gone through the serial and its correct with the one on the box sooooo.....

Edit:
nvm i found the problem i didnt add any of the - in the number.
what kind of system is that nit picky?

For those having issues with Impulse, please contact support or post in the Impulse forum category, where the Impulse devs will see and can help.

Ok, I'm having some difficulties downloading through Impulse. Yes I've got everything checked right, I can see the file I want to download, and everything else is fine up until I click "Update."  At that point it reaches about 4.7% complete, then freezes and tells me that it's having "Networking difficulties."

 

I've turned off my firewall (Atleast the ones I can actually bloody access), and done everything I know how to, to get this to work.... Any suggestions?

 

Edit: Also, I've tried to uninstall the whole of Sins, and reinstall it, and guess what? networking difficulties at 0.0%....
