Impulse freezes while "Verifying Download..." for 1.11

Help?

November 30, 2008 3:55:20 PM from Sins of a Solar Empire ForumsSins of a Solar Empire Forums

After the files have all been downloaded, it starts "Verifying Download..." and is still doing it a long time later.

Has it frozen or does it just verify very, very slowly?

It can take a while to verify, at least the first time. How long is it going on for?

Some other things that worked for others:

- Restarting Impulse w/ Admin

- Disabling AV

Yes, same thing happened to me. I let it verify overnight, to no avail. Annatar helped me. Simply closed Impulse and opened again as admin. (Right click, choose run as admin). Worked like a charm! Once it worked, verify only took seconds and then went on to installation.

Impulse blows.  It would be terrible, just terrible, if they would return to posting them as files on the website.  Heaven forbid that Stardock be unable to inundulate you with plugs for other products while you download.

 

I suceeded after about 3X quitting and restarting.  When Impulse is actually working, it shouldn't take more than about 10 seconds max to go from verifying to downloading.

After an hour of frustration, I tried running Impulse as admin and it finally went through "verifying download" step instantly.
