Problem updating the game

March 25, 2008 12:50:42 PM from Sins of a Solar Empire ForumsSins of a Solar Empire Forums
I downloaded and installed the 1.3 patch but when I open up Sins, it says that the game is version 1.0 on the bottom right corner. I had this problem before so I uninstalled and re-installed the game which temporarily corrected the problem but I see that my game has somehow reverted back to 1.0. Can anyone explain why my game is doing this? I am running Vista by the way.

That doesn't make much sense at all--the game can't revert itself. Once you've installed the patch, that's the version it'll be. Are you sure you didn't accidentally install an older patch?

I definitely downloaded and ran the 1.3 patch. At the main page I clicked on "Download updates" which directed me to the site, and I downloaded and ran the .exe.

Is it possible that my game is running v1.3 but the bottom right corner might mistakenly say v1.0? Could it be possible that i'm running the wrong launcher? For some reason, an icon did not appear on my desktop after I installed the game so i'm forced to click Start, Games, and then click on the Sins icon there. I've also tried launching the game using the various icons in the Sins folder and each time my game starts with 1.0 on the bottom right corner.

It sounds like your game is not being updated properly. You can try reinstalling it via Stardock Central, which should put it up to 1.03 in one shot.
