Yipyip, hooray!
my impulse is being gay
My Impulse won't work either. Just says "Unable to load update" every time I've tried this morning. Guess they are really backed up there
i am having problems with the download of the patch. the "processing" takes forever and sometimes i am getting network errors and nothing else is happening. kinda frustrating...
It's because everyone of Sins lovers is downloading its update today.
We're looking into the issues right now.
... and its done! that was quick
You already got it before I did!? I'm a Soor loser
Mine still says "problem retrieving update data". Rrrrrrrr...
its here? impulse says it has "problem retrieivng update data"
nvm it has recieved data, SUPERB hope it goes fast
Edit
finaly worked took ages... not satisfied
mine had it too.
but you just have to wait a bit, and the problem will solve itself.
If it helps Zoomba, it says "Error 503" when I try sometimes. Last try, it download 18%, but then said "connection terminated by remote server". But I'm 18% closer at least
Impulse wont even download.
It downloads the install application but when trying to install impulse it attempts to connect to retreive data to finish the install and fails.
3.44 MB. Prolly coz i had beta installed Already done
This is strange, first the update size was only 3,44 MB (i have the latest beta, though), then, Impulse said i don't have enough drive space to install it even though i have over 1GB free space (amazing compression there ), and now it's been stuck on "Installing..." for about 15 minutes.
Any ideas whats wrong?
We are currently experiencing some difficulty with Impulse. It is a known issue and they are working on it right now.
Please stand by, thank you for your patience!
Hey all,
If you are having trouble downloading Impulse from the web installer, grab the full installer from here and you should get a better result:http://www.impulsedriven.com/impulse_setup_full.exe
Today is the day we see servers smoking.
I keep getting remote server error 503 Server "Unavailable"
Yea, I'm getting that too. It's hit or miss.
Basically, there's the deal: We're releasing not just Sins of a Solar Empire v1.1 today but also Object Desktop 2009. Normally, this wouldn't be a big deal but unlike Sins or other games, Object Desktop is made up of tons of individual components and so it's a bit rougher on the file compare servers (which we have 3 just for handling that).
So what happens, and this is truly ironic and frustrating, is that it has to download an XML file of the latest versions of your stuff to compare with what you have installed to see what needs updating. Well, IIS on the file server literally craps out.
In short, today would not be a good day to promote Microsoft Server as an enterprise solution. IIS is still just too fragile. We're addressing it right now (imagine lots of virtual servers on lots of real servers).
The good news, sort of, is that it's not Impulse. It's really as simple as the equivalent of having say 180,000 people trying to read this post at the same time and even with enough databases, enough bandwidth, enough CPU power, IIS not liking the number of connections.
Not many reasons to boot to Windouz from Mac but V1.1 is surely one of them!
Impulse here I come
If it works - of course...
SWITCH TO MAC!!!
Thanks for the update, Brad
BTW
Regarding reported issues here is my experience so far...
1. Logged in no problem
2. It took AGE to "retreive latest info"
3. Dling patch as I type at 150Kb - no problem...
This is all on XP running via Bootcamp.
oups...
sorry!
2% downloaded and experiencing errors...
cant log in now
I always get network problem/server error/timeout/etc.
If Impulse is able to log in and retrieve latest data at all! De-centra-lize it!
For some reason, i had to free 2.5 GB of drive space to install the patch, and all of it still available? Anyway, now installed and working
