Stuck on "Processing, may take several minutes"

from Sins Forums
I'm having the same problem others seem to be having: Impulse installed just fine last night. Showed my Sins version (1.5), and that I was registered (with no expiration date). Anyway, at lunch, I check, and it shows the beta available, so I click on it, and it's been stuck on "Processing, make take several minutes" and also "0/0 Bytes" for 30 minutes now

I fixed it! In case other's can't get there's to work also, this is what I did: After trying the "USA 2" server for another 45 minutes, I was about to give up. But as a last resourt, I clicked on the "Pause" button in the bottom right, and then clicked resume; it then stuck on "checking for updates" for a while. I then clicked on "Pause/Resume" again, and the download finally started  :D.

It still seems to get "stuck" every so often, but clicking on pause/resume seems to give a kick again.

Hope that helps others. . .

Guess I spoke too soon: clicking on the pause/resume button on lets it download like .01% each time (and that's if you wait a minute or two). If you don't keep clicking every 3-5 minutes, it's still stays stuck forever.  X-(

The update server is maxed out. It may actually be faster to uninstall Sins and reinstall it completely as the full download comes off the uber-fast server.

If I have a disk copy, can I still download it? And is there an option to download the full beta vs. full 1.05?

Thanks,

Yeah, I uninstalled... And now when 'installing' I'm getting a d/l error

Now it's d/l but I have no idea if it's the beta or 1.05... there was no option.

Thanks,

If you kept Show pre-release versions checked, it will grab the Beta version.  In the upper-right Impulse displays the version it's going to grab (right under the name - Available Beta: 1.09[b].038).

I checked mine a while ago, it was almost at 50%; then checked it several minutes ago, and it said "Download Error". HOURS of work/waiting erased. Now I'm trying to start over, but it's back to being stuck on "Processing" forever again.

Mine was up to 35% again; came back a while ago, and "Download Error" again. I'm giving up myself. Not impressed with Impulse at all.

Its a new program, growing pains are to be expected.

Are you guys trying to update your existing game or install fresh?  If you're trying to update, please try doing a full install instead.  The update server is maxed out while the full install servers are free and clear.

Made it to 85%, and then "Download Error" yet again.

Sorry Yarlen, but I'm not going to uninstal my "disk" version (which is why I got it in the first place), only to have to download that mega-huge version.

I think I'll just wait till both Impulse and 1.1 are out of beta. . .
