Well...I updated to 1.14 with Impulse and when I go to open up Sins, I get an instant mini-dump.  8C

[EDIT]  I pulled my own personal custom maps out of the Galaxy folder and now the game loads up just fine.  However, I noticed that the standard Sins maps are still at Version 2--but so were my custom maps.  So why won't my own personal custom maps work now?  From now on, do all custom maps need to go to some other folder?  (I hope this means that things have been modified and fixed so that we have auto-download on ICO.)

I have had the same problems, the fix that worked is as blair said REMOVE ALL CUSTOM MAPS & mods from both the docs & settings/user galaxy AND the program files galaxy

harpo

{edit} the maps have changed and added new line in relation to the new quickstart ability that the devs added, and they forgot to change the versionnumber because of the significant change in the file structure of the galaxy file

[edit 2] the devs have also added an explicit starting level for infrastructure onto each planet. from all of these changes I would have EXPECTED the map versionnumber to have changed in comarison to the minor changes that happened between ver 1.00 map ver0 to 1.10 map ver 2 where you could load the maps just by changing the version number to 2

ICO no longer seems to be recording Wins and Losses.  Not sure about Games Played.  (I'm owed three W's right now.)

You need to delete all maps in

C:\Documents and Settings\username\Local Settings\Application Data\Ironclad Games\Sins of a Solar Empire\Galaxy

or

C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Ironclad Games\Sins of a Solar Empire\Galaxy

I want this to be on the record that this is a pain in the ass. Deleting everything. But b/c I heart you IC and your wonderful game, I will take the pain.

The update option is not available on my Impulse (I am still on 1.13). Anyone know what might be going on?

Reply #62 Top

update your impule, personally i think you would be better off sticking to 1.13 for the moment

Reply #63 Top

try it again, if not, then uninstall impulse and reinstall, could be lax of connecting , impluse has its own issues lol, also could have been the time you updated but also check the blue stardock icon and say update and see if that works.

 

good luck.

I've just done a verrify install it says its installed correctly though stardock but or should i say impulse but what should i do now ?

yes thsis is the porblem, the map file format has changes significantly, but the map version info did not change, the devs could have prevented this by bumping the map version to 3 from 2

-New voices for the TEC Cobalt.

I thought the voice for this unit was suppose to change. If it did, whats different?  Sounds the same to me. 

Reply #68 Top

Thanks, my update worked fine after impulse starting working properly. Also I had no maps, mods, or entrenchment, so sins update worked fine.

Reply #69 Top

Thanks a lot. Now the game crashes on start-up and dumps something into my local folder I can't access anyway.

1.13 was working fine. Why can't I just leave things alone?

Anyway to revert to the older version?

tore sins directory a enw one, and reinstalled both, i have got them working thanks for indescresion, but pplz just as a reminder kill everything in the directory when uninstalling sins from 1.13 so that it doesnt pick up anything old ya

Thanks for the advice on deleting the custom maps. Now I know how to show hidden files in the dark world of Windows. 1.14 now works fine!

Doesn't record games played either.  This is a great time to get some smurfing in. :drool: :drool:
