This is not my first time. before I logged in here I rienstalled the bonuspack thinking that maybe something went wrong there. A few minutes ago I tried downloading the Impuls and ran into this :

To reiterate: I have played plenty of games before and logging into ICO seems to be a problem at this time only. Impulse will not instal for one reason or another.

edit: I havent changed anything in terms of my firewall settings or internet connection since I last played.

I am now downloading the link. Your assumption are all correct, if this works I will post here.

Cripes If you hit F5 or go to the blue orb in the top left and select "Check for updates", does it show up?

Ok seems on that Blue Orb you have to go to preferences and tick "show prelease version" for the update section to come back up again. I am in the process of installing it now. Will check back in here if it works.

I also had my update tab disappear, and had problems installing the Impulse update - I had to figure out the full setup method before coming here, but that did it for me too

Good thing I updated my working copy of Impulse - seriously, how often do you have to update that thing?  Surely you realise every change is another chance to break it?  Considering I depend on it to play purchased games, forcing me to constantly leave behind versions I"m comfortable with is irritating

That's actually normal now in the beta build of Impulse V2. They're trying to make it less cluttered, so unless there's an update to download the tab shouldn't appear.

Well, 1.1 fixes I think pretty much every bug that's been known and some new ones that were discovered during testing. It should be pretty near smooth sailing.

Edit: I think it warned about cancelling because it needs to re-log on with different settings, but I can't say for certain since mine is already updated so unchecking it wouldn't do anything.

Also for the sake of completeness, if you're running Vista, some people reported it hangs on "Verifying" after the download finishes, if that's the case and it takes too long you should exit Impulse and run it with Admin privileges (right click > run as admin). You won't need to download again, it should pause when you exit and you'll be able to resume extraction. This is just going by what some other folks talked about on IRC so mileage may vary or may not even happen

I am now in ICO. Thank you Annatar11 for the advice and help given.

• I can't connect to Ironclad Online (ICO) or any LAN games.

Make sure your software firewall (including the Windows Firewall) has not blocked Sins of a Solar Empire. With some firewalls it may appear that Sins has frozen, as the firewall is waiting to receive confirmation to proceed. You may need to exit Sins and restart the game in Windowed mode (IsWindowed in user.setting) in order to get around the firewall's pop-up. Alternatively, you could configure your firewall prior to starting Sins. You also have to be able to connect to both port 6000 and port 7000 on ICO.
