Greetings all,

We've had to make a slight reschedule of the version 1.1 update for Sins to Wednesday (November 19th).  We're using this extra time to setup some additional download servers so that everyone's update is fast.  We apologize for the delay but feel the extra time will be well worth it.

Sincerely,

Stardock & Ironclad

well at least you have choice, right?

And if ISP shapes ALL encrypted traffic... i'll just vote with my rouble(dollar, euro, etc) and switch to another ISP. Here we actually have torrent retrackers for large ISP networks There were some ISP's , who blocked torrents. None survived.

I for one could care less how long it's delayed for as it's for a good cause.  Im happy that SD keeps us in the loop unlike many other companies and long forgotten patches.

 

Kudos SD/IC.  I'm looking forward to 1.1.

Will 1.1 be available via Stardock Central?

No, only Impulse.

No exact time, but count on around 1-2 pm EST as that's the customary release window for stuff. Sometimes it happens earlier, but not often.

please for the love of god release the patch NOW. I'm losing my high speed internet tommorow because I'm moving to a location where I get 28.8 dialup at best and while it IS possible(or at least was, we'll see with the patch) to play sins on the connection onlne(albeit with some serious lag) downloading the several hundred mb patch is going to be impossible

I've got a choice between the cable monopoly, and the phone monopoly. If they both do it, there isn't much of a choice. Bigger parts of Canada have alternate ISPs as well, but I'm not in one of those. So for me, a direct download from Impulse is drastically faster then a torrent option. (The cable ISP also has bandwidth usage caps, so a P2P system would eat up my bandwidth allowance for the month to give other people a patch. I'm not keen on that.)

Ok so WHERE IS THE UPDATE!?!?!?!?!??! It's 10:07 am and no update yet?  Dissapointed...

Also, the point of the P2P system is to be a supplement for the direct download, not a replacement. Implementing it should be as simple as adding a second update button that d/ls a torrent file instead and building a lightweight torrent client into impulse. That way those that can take advantage of faster d/ls via torrent and save b/w costs for SD at the same time will, and those that can't still have the direct download option.

If I have to say "1-2 pm EST" one more time I'll go choke a puppy.

So, don't expect it before 1-2 pm EST.

Oh hey I said it..

How....How could you?

on Nov 19, 2008

I didn't say I'll be choking a puppy each time I say it.. only if I say it one more time (which I did)
