Yes. It used to work until I tried to install Sins. Since then, have reinstalled Impulse on numerous occasions.
Hi, I'm having a similar problem. I click to log in only to receive, "server not responding, please check your internet connection." I'm connected to the net. Doesn't seem to matter if my AV is enabled or disabled. Won't connect. It's also not finding my info. WTF?!?!
Thanks, I'm not trying to play the game while updating. In fact, I'm getting an error from impulse while trying to download the update. I'll try emailing stardock support then. Again, thanks for your help.
Hi, The info I've found is, Jan. 18 2008. So, I assume I have the 1.00 version. At current time, am doing an update from impulse. Again, no mods, no beta. Am still unable to even get it to start.
Ok, I understand what you're saying but, I don't have entrenchment installed. I have no mods. Just the standard game. I'll try removing all the maps and see what happens. This still doesn't make much sense since I'm installing from a cd. Then trying to download the update. I'll post what happens. Welp, I deleted the maps... all this did was lock up the pc. At current time, am uninstalling the game. Will reinstall again from the CD. To reitirate, I DON'T have the latest version nor
I just had to reinstall Impulse. Now it says, the game isn't installed correctly, please search for an update. How can this be if installed directly from the CD? I'm really beginning to feel that this game just isn't worth the time nor the money that appears to be wasted. I'm not giving up just yet, just frustrated.
Hi, Impulse stated there was a patch available, tried to download but, no avail. I did download the update from the SDC site. Since I can't even get "in" the game since purchasing, I'm assuming that I have the earlier version. I have no custom maps nor mods. I've read the FAQ's, the readme, even those thread similar. The solution listed so far hasn't corrected the problem.
Current system is: XP Pro, 3GHz (dual processor), 2GB ram, ATI Radeon 9600 Xtasy (256MB), SoundMAX Integrated Digital Audio. All drivers are up to date. Everytime I try to play the game, screen turns black and nothing happens for a long time. Then, dropped back to windows screen, while sound is "choppy" at best. So, will it still work? What changes do I need to make, if any?
OK, now I'm totally lost. No such folder exists.
I've tried to download this game 3 times since purchasing it. Each time I get the same error. Decompression error. It doesn't matter if I'm downloading from Impulse or from SDC. Any chance that a CD/DVD will be coming out soon? Comp. specs are as follows: Operating System : Windows XP Service Pack 3 - (2600.xpsp_sp3_gdr.080814-1236) XP Pro Video Card : ATI Radeon 9600/9550/X1050 Series Sound Card : SoundMAX Digital Audio DirectX version : 4.09.00.
No, it's unchecked. I've tried it both ways, it's actually worse if it IS checked. I did try unchecking the full screen, the cursor is fine there. However, I prefer the full screen play. This is where the cursor is both transparent and flickers. I've tried changing screen resolutions, still same prob.
I've recently updated vid drivers, turned off anti-aliasing. I'm getting a transparent cursor that will "flicker". Makes selecting a fleet or planet difficult at best.
