99,9% works? where'd u get that number, as far as im aware alot of people are having troubles with this, even people that do not post on these forums
i'd be surprised if more then 75% actually got it to work
dam dualpost-. - srry
If you'd read a few posts down, I gave how I guestimated that number. Personally, I was in the public beta for it and didn't have a single problem from then to now, except for some trouble that had nothing to do with Impulse -- for example, my school's internet connection suxxors (in places)!
So sorry to disillusion you, but i don't know, how many players bought a non english version, like me. And i used this wonderful and intelligent impulse, to decide which files have to be downloaded and my SoasE was scrap after this, because the files aren't localized.
So do me the pleasure and prove your calculation...
And yes i am a old school player, means i am interested if 5 years here all will work again, if i do a new installation, because i bought the right of playing this game for thousand or more years.
I still have my Amiga. So i have time to test this out. And if it won't work, it is a kind of thievery
Actually, that I will agree with being a problem -- something that should have been dealt with before hand.
That said, it's been 5 years since the original GC came out, and if I wanted to I could install it via Impulse little/no problem.
edit -> nevermind
Here is one Karma for you sir for still having an Amiga!
I sold my A4000 with Picasso IV card age ago - was such a lovely system
I still have my A500 (kind of) - in a draw at Mum and Dad's place on the other side of the country....
um hey when i go to the sight i cant find where to download the patch v1.11 just the 9.95 expansion and the game itself help?
Download Impulse at http://www.impulsedriven.com/
Install it and you can update your game to the latest patch version.
I am having a lot of problems with Impulse as well. I think it's an unnecessary evil
It IS necessary for Stardock's business model... There are numerous posts as to why it is beneficial etc... Your best bet is to contact support@stardock.com rather then just bitch about it. Impulse is here to stay and the Sins manual states that it will be the method for updating the game...
Try living in Australia with slow net and usage quotas, its taken me half an hour to get 10% done. And once we hit or quota limit and get slowed down further it would take even longer.
Having a hard copy of the patch on hard drive would be incredibly useful, should reinstall be necessary.
I'm in Australia - same "problem".
You can do what you asked for - make an archive file in Impulse. And when the next patch comes out, you only need to download the files that are different (i.e. the delta) and these are compressed when they are sent to you. So you don't need to download a 100MB everything combined patch to apply 20 MB of required changes...
I'd also suggest you get an account with higher usage limits to prevent shaping, or get a faster plan or download it during off peak time.....
