You can hide an application in Impulse by right clicking on it, and selecting 'Hide application'. From there, the only way to see them again is to check the 'Show hidden applications' option. If you want to go nuclear, send an email to [email protected] and we can manually deactivate the registrations (though the first option will be quicker).

Unfortunately, there are no standalone patches for Sins, but you can download the full, already patched game here: http://anywhere.impulsedriven.com/ Just log in with your Impulse account, and you'll be able to download installation files for the most recent version of any Stardock title. You can then transfer those files to your other computer, and install it.

[quote who="Madocs" reply="9" id="2594903"]How it turns out will depend upon how the betas go IMO. I hope that there is not too much influence from things like WoW (although take the good and leave the bad). Also in such a large game, there can be a tendancy to get tooooo technical, which I must admitt I generally dont mind, but I think that that can sometimes reduce the general enjoyment of a game.[/quote] I remember reading (I can't find where, but it I'm sure it happene

Another archive option would be Impulse Anywhere: http://anywhere.impulsedriven.com/ Log in with your Impulse account, and you can download standalone installer files for Stardock games. -Ue_Carbon's option is totally feasible, but you'll need Impulse installed to restore it. The Anywhere option includes Impulse in the installer files, so that's everything you'll need.

[quote who="ChrisOregon44" reply="7" id="2592892"]I have played all the gold box games when they came out. I even mapped the entire homm 1 game on graph paper by zone.[/quote] I really do miss doing that sometimes. I still remember the maps I used to make of the Eye of the Beholder games. Epic.

Verkinix: I'm not sure why your settings get reset, but you can try backing up your settings files before you update, just as a precaution. In Vista/7, they're in C:\Users\YOUR_USER_NAME\AppData\Local\Ironclad Games\Sins of a Solar Empire\Setting and unfortunately I don't have XP at home, so if you need that, let me know, and I can look it up when I get to work tomorrow. As for the lobby, I'd recommend contacting [email protected] for help with that, as they're the keepers

Here's the deal: I've got a beef with Google. Gmail was in beta so long, that people forgot what 'beta' really meant. It means that it's a rough estimation, not finished, still buggy, sometimes-painful-to-use piece of software that was released to the public to help crowdsource the finding and fixing of bugs. But then they got a gmail account, and used that for years, and forgot what a piece of 'beta' software really entailed. Betas are not for the faint of h

[quote who="AXidenTAL" reply="1" id="2591138"]Check in the settings that "Show Beta Games" or something is ticked. [/quote] This^ Click the blue menu button (upper left of Impulse), and make sure the 'Show pre-release versions' option is checked. If it is, and it still doesn't show, try closing Impulse and running the following file: http://sd.stardock.com/curthendzell/fix_registrations.reg</a

[quote who="Baconneggs12" reply="2" id="2590856"]I have sent this message to support via the support that you have listed......All I can do now is wait for a reply. Sorry to be so hot, but after all the effort I've put into this, the situation has really gotten under my skin.[/quote] Fair enough. I understand it gets frustrating when things don't go right. Hopefully we can get it straightened out for you, though.

This is actually true of pretty much every Stardock program, just in case there was something else you were thinking of getting. CCleaner shouldn't be necessary, just a reboot after uninstalling both versions.
