Today Ironclad Games and Stardock Entertainment are releasing minor updates to Sins of a Solar Empire and its micro-expansions - Entrenchment and Trinity/Diplomacy. This patch updates the games to use a new host for the Ironclad Online server which is now hooked into a more powerful backend system for improved performance.

Registered customers can update their game via the GameStop PC Downloads App (formerly known as Impulse).

Update with 0 problems 

Did a files compare for us modders [Dip 1.33] Modders Change Log

on Nov 11, 2011

I've been having serious connectivity issues with ICO very recently, most likely due to the 1.33 update that was just released: I've been getting intermittent lag spikes of 20,000 or so, freezing the entire game for a time, before getting back to normal. The same thing's been evident in the lobby: when I log in, it often takes like 10 seconds for ICO to successfully display that I'm in the lobby... and it can take a similar long amount of time when I change an game setting option, like race or team.

This doesn't always happen - sometimes it responds pretty normally, at least for a short period of time - but this hasn't happened to me before, and started happening just as the 1.33 update was applied a few hours ago.

I'm not sure if it's a problem with my ISP or with ICO, but based on the timing I would guess ICO... has anyone else been experiencing problems?

Yarlen,

It appears that some of the fixes made to the old ICO server to reduce lag are returning.  Is it possible some of the changes weren't implemented on the new servers?

on Nov 14, 2011

Nope, we only moved to new server hardware and did some minor tweaks to point to the newer databases.

Have you updated to the latest Impulse version yet? (The one that's now called Gamestop something)

If updating Impulse/Gamestop doesn't work, try uninstalling and reinstalling Impulse/Gamestop.

on Nov 14, 2011

Yes, reinstalling impulse worked it, now says gamestop in the top left now.

Update via Impulse worked for me few days ago. So nice to devs from me. Good fellows!

I'm trying to update my game but the registration doesn't accept my serial number or email. I didn't have any problems with the last virsion of Implulse so what's the problem? I tried reinstalling everything and now I'm stuck at version 1.0 of diplomacy. Before I reinstalled it read the serial number and the game version 1.21 but it kept telling me to register.

 

This is really bugging me out and I want some help.

on Dec 06, 2011

Technical forum would be a better place. I've never had to reinput my serial after registering Sins to my account, so I don't know why it would be asking you for it again.

Hey Ironclad Games and Stardock Games:

How about you give your customers an option as to whether or not we want to download yet another third party bloatware (gamestop client ) or just download the patch directly from some mirrors online?  Personally I'm sick of having so much bloatware like steam on my pc and prefer the latter option of getting the patches straight up without the bloatware.

Oh yeah, also bit pissed I had to register just to find this out because this site in general is a train wreck. i clicked downloads thinking logically the patches should be there only to find wallpapers and trailers..

gamestop client to download the patch.. Yeah. Great. 

No thanks.

If you're having trouble registering a key with Steam or downloading, please contact Steam support. If you're having some other issue, please contact support@stardock.com.
