Did you have any mod set to load on startup? If you did, move the mods out of the folder so it launches, then disable it.

I had an issue like this and I just did a reinstall of it and it fixed it.  I think something got corrupted when patching for some reason.

i think there was a problem when i downloaded entrenchment.  i had no mods or anything so it couldn't have been that. 

 

but the solution is to delete the entire sins folder, then do the verify instalation in impulse. then if will download and install the entire game.   THEN IT WORKS!!!  and if not....rinse and repeat..

Ok, beyond annoying.  I D/L yesterday and worked fine, I deleted a map I had made in Sins, and now I lock up on loading.  If you click "verify" it states you need a small patch.  Install the patch (114.?KB) and it then tells you you have to uninstall and reinstall the whole shebang.

 

Needs to have a warning, at least untill it is fixed, to NOT change or modify any maps you have made after installing the beta as it measn a couple of hours of grief.

 

Love the game, think interesting new path taken with the update, not thrilled with the execution of the new game though.

Well at least now it states you have to uninstall and re-download every time, though it is still extremely frustrating I have to spend a few hours of re-install to try out the program every time.

ok, whoever added the [fixed] thing in the title of this page is an idiot.  its not fixed.  every time they come out with another update i have to reinstall sins.  and since my disc is currently not available, and i dont have a disc for entrenchment i have to download both games AGAIN!  My internet is a little more than a step up from dial up, so this simple fix of downloading it EVERY WEEK is not a very good fix.  I paid for this game, and i can't even play it. 

 

STARDOCK:You need to fix this bullshit Impulse system so the people with the same problem as me can play the game!

Or atleast come up with a temporary means of downloading updates without messing up the game


Thanks for reading this and i HOPE you fix this problem very quickly!

 

But now something on the positive side, its nice that you come out with updates so often.  I just wish they worked!
