Reply to Average support time? in FE Support Elemental Forums

I don't work for Stardock, but having worked in the software industry I can say that they likely didn't have many Tech Support people working Saturday or Sunday, and your issue was likely put in a queue. I believe Stardock queues issues based on when you sent in your question, so make sure you don't send a second request for the same issue or they'll answer someone else first who's question was time-stamped earlier (they've waited longer). To answer your questi

Reply to Re-installing entrenchment? in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

You should be able to do it with Impulse. I don't have it on my computer at work, so my memory of tab names might be a bit off. Here's the basic idea: Launch Impulse, go to the Games tab and highlight Entrenchment. You should see an option to Run or Uninstall. After you uninstall, you will have the option to install it. Good luck!

Reply to Sins of a Solar Empire: Diplomacy wish list in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

Here are a few things I'd like to see in the expansion. Basically, I'd like to see multiple diplomatic options available that lead to better relations with other players or AI players. Here's my list (and, yes, I like the idea of improving/expanding the role of pirates): Pirates should be able to "hold" asteroids - not to colonize (I think pirates are generally mobile!) but to mine resources via extractors. Then, pirate fleets can be more formidable as they can build based on

Reply to Cant update Support wont support wants more money no thanks in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

[quote quoting="post"] Question I have is, if I get the expansion which is $10? Will it update the original game? Will I be able to play the expansion without also having to pay another $20? [/quote] I believe that Impulse checks for the updated version of Sins before it will install Entrenchment. I would hold off on buying the expansion until you resolve the issue with your serial number for Sins. Once you have that sorted out, though, Entrenchment is definitely wor

[quote who="Buckwheat2" reply="4" id="2054142"]Could someone please point me in the direction of the Entrencement 2.5 Beta download. I've gone to Impluse and can't find it. I can't find on this site.

Reply to To All the Players of Sins of a Solar Empire in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

This game brought me away from playing only turn-based games. I played Civ IV and gave a completely unheard-of (to me) company a shot buy purchasing GalCiv2. And Dark Avatar. And Twilight of the Arnor. Even though the description of this one didn't sound like it was up my alley, I tried it. Now, I play Sins almost exclusively.Here's what I like (in no particular order): 1) It works well on an older computer. 2) I get updates for free. I haven't had any issues with Impuls

Same here. Started two games last night, both mini dumped 10 minutes in. I'm going to run smart exception tonight and send all the information in to help IC/SD figure it out. I'm running XP SP2 with 2 GB RAM and a way-too-old-to-mention graphics card. [e digicons]:blush:[/e]

Reply to Entrenchment Delayed :( in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

I'm disappointed. I hope they have a beta so I can feel better about pre-ordering. I know the money doesn't come out of my account right away, but I'm wondering what the benefit of the pre-order is without getting an early glimpse of the product?

Reply to Too Long with No Patch in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

Hi, lt411. GalCivII was just updated Wednesday (11/5) to version 2.0, but you need Impulse to get it. There was a thread in the GalCiv2 forums here where Seabass and Frogboy indicate Stardock Central isn't going to have updates for GalCiv2. I believe that Impuls

Reply to The Political Machine Express - a free strategy for the campaign season in PC Gaming GalCiv2 Forums

I'm excited to try this demo, but I have a question since the post mentions that the demo automatically installs Impulse. If I already have Impulse installed (I own Sins and GalCivII), will installing the demo overwrite it or will it simply not re-install? Now that Impulse is working well for me, I don't want to do anything that might change that! Thanks in advance.
