Reinstalling Sins

from Sins Forums

I had a feeling that this was going to happen, and it did, so I don't blame Stardock or Impulse, I just ask for a little change

I pre-ordered Entrenchment and when I realized I could download it I though, "Wierd... I can download it when it's not even out." So I did.

I just made a post about an issue I had with the game about jumping, but I didn't regret downloaded Entrenchment.

I like playing betas because I get a peek at what's comming up and I get to help the producers make the game better, but after learning that the other 98% of the world didn't feel as I did, I decided to uninstall Entrenchment so I could play with other people online.

So now I think, "Ok, I've read that I can uninstall Entrenchment only, and I remember seeing Sins and Entrenchment as two seperate games in Impulse."

So I open the lovely little dock and I see that two has become one.

Now (last time in this post) I think, "If I click to uninstall Entrenchment, since it's the only one there it'll probably uninstall all of Sins too..."

Well, as it turns out it did. So all I ask is that Stardock fixes the "two becomes one" problem pretty soon, so nobody else has to be inconvienenced. ( I really don't spelling like that word...)

Yay! At the end of this post, Sins is done reinstalling from my CD. Time to update!

PS. After Entrenchment and Sins was uninstalled and now that Sins is reinstalled, Impulse lists them as two seperate games that I can install (Entrenchment) or play/update (Sins).

Here's what I don't understand:  why Entrenchment is so tightly bound to Sins that you can't disable it?  I'm hoping this is just for the beta...but if not, how do I make the game play the basic Sins game without uninstalling and reinstalling Sins (as above)?  That way, if I want to play MP with folks that don't have Entrenchment, I can--without going through all the hassle.

So, any chance of this for the final release of Entrenchment?

It is just for the beta, there was a notice on it when it was released. The full release of Entrenchment is supposed to allow you to switch at will between it and Vanilla.
