[quote] Personally, I can't wait until Internet connectivity is a 24/7 non-issue for people so that I can start making games that require always-on net connections because then I can make all kinds of cool stuff (like having extremely advanced computer AI that plays the games via a dedicated server cluster). Of course, that would pretty much be the end of piracy on those games too. Pity.[/quote] [e digicons]:yes:[/e]
[b]CursedSpirit,[/b] [quote]ok i have the game running fine on 2 computers now went to add it to my laptop the same way as before.[/quote] You know you are only allowed to run SINS on two (2) computers you own! Sounds to me like you'll have to uninstall it from the one of the other 2 before installing it on your notebook in order to remain within license compliance! [e digicons]:|[/e] the Monk
I own every TW game. I played and loved every one except ROME (didn't like ROME TW for some reason) and never had any bug-issues at all with any of the TW but ROME! Medieval II has been on my PC ever since it's release in 2006 and thats the longest running PC game-install on my PC to date! hehe Maybe, EMPIRE will kick Medieval II from it's place on the throne of my PC but we'll see. I actually liked the gameplay of Medieval(one)

[quote who="Frogboy" reply="6" id="2080734"] Quoting VarekRaith, reply 7Most software pirates seem to suffer from an acute form of cognitive dissonance. Indeed. I also notice that most warez people seem to have an uncannily bad luck getting Impulse to run even though my 73 year old aunt with her ancient PC had no problem downloading it and getting the program I bought for her yet these same warez people have no problem monkeying around with the latest torrent tracke

Astax, Feel free to post the list in the "Games" section of the forums on my website. That way there wouldn't be any ads etc. ? If that works for you, I could create a sub-domain linking directly to the forum post. Something like: (http://blacklist.themonk.ca) the Monk
[quote] 2) Upgrade the multiplayer networking information in the FAQ. The link to The Monks guide has not worked for a few months now at least, and there is no information about ICO requiring port 7000 to be opened. Not knowing this took me 3 days to work out why I could not connect to ICO when I upgraded from 1.05 (which worked fine for me, and I regularly hosted) to 1.11. When I turned off my firewall, I was able to connect so I knew it was my end. But I understand ne

Well you're not about to get a "code rewrite" so I don't know what kind of "solution" you're waiting for.......lol
I seem to remember predicting these types of problems before Alloy was even released.....hehe Routers need to be allowed to do their job in order to ensure traffic validity etc. ...my 2 cents. the Monk
If you have a completely up-to-date OS installation including fully up-to-date and working installations of .NET and IE7 Impulse should be working like a dream. I've got it running on computers running XP (32), XP (64), Vista (32) and Vista (64)...none of which have had even one single issue with Impulse. How about some OS info along with patch-levels of the OS etc. and we can try to troubleshoot this for you.... thanks, the Monk
Please make sure your OS is up-to-date! in particular up-to-date and working installations of .NET and IE7 (both are REQUIRED for Impulse to work properly)
I believe when it's "verifying download" its parsing/creating XML files associated with the downloaded files? I remember reading somewhere that for some people it was faster to un-install and completely re-install SINS via Impulse as this way the XML data didn't need to be generated seperately in order to compare files and know which ones to leave alone and which ones to update? Might be something to try if it stays stuck there too long....

[quote]I have a Westell C90 model and under the NAT/Gaming configuration there is an option for Static NAT. Do I need to enable this to host a Sins game? Will my friend be able to connect to my IP address if I host with the "Multiplayer" option instead of going through ironclad? I have ports forwarded/firewall exceptions added. I'm thinking that the NAT is the only thing giving me the problem. There is also an option for IP Passthrough, however looking
It's all explained in the OP of this thread . :)
1. Please visit www.impulsedriven.com and download / install IMPULSE. 2. Enter your registration information when prompted (when you start Impulse for the first time) 3. Update your SINS game to v1.1 using Impulse. done. :)

[b]Zargon0225,[/b] Yes actually it is prevalent practice among gamers to disable many services in an effort to wrest back some hardware resources from the OS. As I posted in my initial post about this, the problem lies in the fact that neither the gamers nor the IT-joe who told them to "disable" said services actually know enough about said service or the entire list of ramifications on dependencies of disabling it in order to do so safely.
