Is there any reason why I can't see the update button on my SoaSE game info in Impulse?  I want to update, but there's no button.  I checked the game and I'm still running 1.12. 

Any help would be apprecitated.

Hooray!  You forgot to mention that level 2 Final judgement was also fixxed.

There is a button that says "More", click on that and select update.

Nope... all I have is a Run button.  Not sure why?  It's a legal copy as well. (for anyone thinking "torrent")

Can I please get an official answer on this?

thanks

Edit:  I found it.  For anyone having problems finding the update in Impulse, make sure that you have the 'show hidden applications' button checked off in the impulse menu.  that could solve your problem.

I'm liking the camera changes .  It's nice being able to get a closeup of even the smallest ships now!

I don't play multiplayer much, but I'm kinda liking the carrier slowdown; it means my carriers aren't sitting in front of the battles as often anymore. One of the bad habits the AI seems to have with the carriers is the tendency to pull them to the front lines along with all of the other capital ships.  Problem is, that kinda kills the reason why I build carriers in the first place: To stay behind and project power.

. . . although the enemy will usually pull right up to the carrier(s) anyways. No real concept of terrain in Sins, so everything they throw at you can pretty much pull right up to it.

If you've never seen maps that do that then you need to play one of my galaxy forge maps, it has 28 planets, 4 players, 1 star,each player starts on a desert planet with 2 metal resorce asteriods and 2 cyrstal resorce asteroids. there is 0 colonisable asteroids, 5 planets (4 of them are player home worlds and in the middle of the system a phase jump from the star is the only terran planet in the system with 2 of each resorce asteroid) and the rest are wormholes and magnetic clouds.   it be a very fun map!

So where exactly is this update? Every time I go to the Impulse website, it isnt there. Can someone post the link to the page where I can actually downloand it?

its goign to bu under the updates tab on your impulse. Not the website but the program when you run it.

HOW THE HELL DO I GET  THE DAMN PATCH FOR THE FIRST SINS!!!!!!!!!!! IVE BEEN EVERY FREAKIN WHERE !!!! WHAT ARE U DOING STAR DOCK...KEEP THE PATCHES ON UR OWN DAMN SITE...NOW WHERE THE **** IS IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I PAYED 100$ FOR A GAME WITH A PATCH I CANT FIND!!%!%!!% FREAKIN HELL!!!!!

You have to use Impulse to get patches. Why did you spend $100 for it? Someone ripped you off. And for future reference, all caps is really annoying and won't get you help any faster.

Gee... the one thing I actually care about still hasn't been fixed. That one thing you ask?

To not be forced to go into the option and reclick the opening scene to be played every single time. That's SOOOOOooooooooo annoying since I watch it almost every time.

For a simple few pictures with a narative it's easily one of the coolest intro movies in a game! ...Maybe not top 10 but it's up there.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

For those looking for patches on website, you're not going to find it due to the growing paranoid-schizophia problem amoung gaming publishers where they make people jump through flaming hoops for things like patches that were always considered free and available to all (even to post/host on other sites to relieve bandwith on first party servers) in gaming years past.

No patches you can download and keep on a CD/DVD so you can reinstall within 15 minutes of uninstalling... now you have to spend hours and hours redownloading stuff (even with a good connection) and hoping the companies aren't going to drop game support or have a flood or go out of business.

Could be much worse though (*glances around warily and whispers* Securom). At least they know how to go just far enough to inconvenience and annoy old school gamers without pushing us back to our Atari2600's. (yes I still have one)

Stardock keep up the good work of only going just far enough.

Sort of an opposite take on the old "I had to walk through snow to get to school" tale, but now the new generation has it rougher.

"Wow ! You used to just be able to type '[game] patch' in a search engine and be able to download and save it to disks? Stop telling fairy tales!"

rubicantx have you tried editing your user.settings in the settings folder line 61

ShowOpeningCinematic FALSE

& changeing the FALSE to TRUE?

harpo

I don't seem to have a settings folder in my SoaSE folder when I look there. Not where my Impulse is either.

Also my Vista search can't find a user.settings file.

Thanks for the tip though, when I finally get that lightbulb above my head and figure out where it is.

EDIT: Found it. Tested it. Same as clicking the option in menu... reverts to FALSE as per usual. Thanks anyway.

Why in the hell do i have to register for impule if i bought the game 1 1/2 year ago, only to find out that the only way im gonna get a update for this game is to register for impulse, please, tell me. Cause this is not making any sense to me at all.

this is driving me crazy.
