I can't update from 1.05 to 1.12 using Impulse!

January 2, 2009 3:21:24 AM from Stardock ForumsStardock Forums

I can't update from 1.05.028 to 1.12.042 using Impulse.

I click "update", it says "preparing for download", then it begins downloading, but after about 2% progress, it stops, and says "file downloaded is larger than expected". But it's only like 220mb! That's not big.

And so, I dunno what to do.

Antivirus on? If so, try turning it off and see if that helps.

You might also consider uninstalling Sins and reinstalling 1.12 fresh from Impulse.

Additionally, ensure you have show prerelease versions unchecked-click the blue orb in the upper left corner to get there.

having the antivirus off didn't help and pre-release versions is unchecked. i'm not too excited about uninstalling and reinstalling the game, but i guess i'll try that next

Have you reached your download limit?

 BTW how long do the updates usually take to download?

Blue orb / Preferences / Reset data

Blue orb / Check for updates

Install any Impulse updates it ask you to first then try updating Sins.

D'oh.

I should've suggested that first.

Okay. I have gigs of extra harddrive space.

I tried reinstalling Sins. Nope.

I tried reseting Impulse and updating. It downloaded the Impulse update 100% and then said that there was an error.

Then I uninstalled Impulse, deleted the file, went to the Sins website, downloaded it again, reinstalled Impulse, updated it (seemed to work), and then tried to update Sins. Nope.

Try changing back to (or away from) BITS as the download method:

Blue orb / Preferences / Connection

toggle: "Use legacy download system (BITS)"
