Are there other patches / enhancements in the roadmap or is this patch considered the final?

Thanks!

We thought there was going to be one more at least, but it has been a while since we last heard from Ironclad. So we don't really know. If there is another patch, it probably won't change much at least from a modding point of view, but that is just speculation on my part.

I didn buy the DVD over Starsdock but in a regular shop, how and where can i download the updates?

www.impulsedriven.com

download Impulse, install it (don't worry its a well behaved program) and when it tells you you have updates let it update

You will need to register your game with Impulse. Then you get yummy updates and can download it again anytime you need too.

Impuls keeps telling me, my Serial Number and/or my email adress are incorretct. Why does it do this?

I just bought the French retail box of Trinity.

Just after installation, Trinity version is 1.00 and other game if i well remembered  SofS 1.1842, Entrenchment v1.042

All text, sounds and OpeningCinematic  are in french.

So i decided to update my game via Impulse and "orders" sound and movie are now in English! Text remained in french. I supposed it's same with german version.

The workaround i had found is to replace all this sounds by the original french ones. Is there a other way?

What the reason for changing theses sounds? Because they seems to be exactly same as the english sounds found on my retail DVD.

And also the 2 OpeningCinematic were also replace by the english version. As each weight approx 103  and 115mo = 217mo  and the patch i downloaded is near 281, i assume that ±80% of this patch is composed by these movie! It seems a little bit strange, no?

Bye

I am also French, I also bought Trinity FR and I also have this problem when I patched the game from version 1.00 to 1.01 via Impulse. I do not find solutions anywhere.

With the 1.191 Patch for Sins of a solar empire (I started with a German Version at 1.05) I get the same issue as IHaTeD2 with ships which wont move anymore after having played for a while. I had a situation where 1 of my fleets jumped to an ennemy planet (after loading a savegame from v1.191) and stood still after reaching its attack position and doing nothing (not even attacking) but parking. Only the ennemy turrets were firing and crippling some of my smaller ships.

I also had a Akkon Battlecruiser (with the same savegame) which seems to be unable to disengage its parkingbrake, it simply stands still near one of my colonies. Sometimes it moved for 2 seconds when I issued it a new moveorder.

I noticed that civilian ships like the construction frigates still move when I issue them a move order. And fighter/bombersquads of the "parking" ships still execute orders.

Downloading Impulse update - Retrying...

i bought the original sins a while back but i didnt know there were updates so i still have v1.0 and when i try to update to 1.05 it wont let me...do i need the v1.191 to play the diplomacy and entrenchment mods? if so how can i get the v1.191

You need to download and install a STEAM-like program called Impulse in order to patch the game and to purchase the two expansions.  It's very benign and you only need to run it when you want to patch the game.  (You can set it so that it won't start every time you boot your computer.)  You can find it at:  http://www.impulsedriven.com

You will need to register your CD key with Impulse.  Part of this game's DRM is that you can only install the patches if you actually purchased the game.

Note though, its much more responsive and has a much faster than Steam in general. The interface for one is faster, and has less effects.

ok wat do i do if i have to wipe my computer do i have to buy the expansions again

^No, as long as you have your impulse account you can digitally download them as many times as you wish.

ok so i have the files i unzipped them into the mods v. 1.91 folder but when i try to access the mods from the game list in the options menu it calls a runtime error

josh are you trying to use entrenchment mods in vanilla sins?

if yes then I suggest investing in the entrenchment  and diplomacy expansions, so that you can then use the mods for entrenchment & diplomacy, and the entrenchment mods need to be placed in the mods-entrenchment v 1.051, and the diplomacy mods need to be placed in mods-diplomacy v1.011, the mods-v1.191 is for VANILLA sins mods ONLY.

and one other neat trick in entrenchment & diplomacy is that you can have MORE than one mod active at a time,

BUT  vanilla sins is ONE MOD ONLY AT A TIME.

hope this helps

ok harpo

i had already bought the original sins when it first came out so i downloaded the entrenchment and diplomacy mods from the website that is provided when you go to the download tab and go to download mods and it takes u to a site...that one

so i then put the entrenchment mod and diplomacy mod into the vanilla's mod file

i thought since i bought it before the expansions that the expansions were mods as well...

ps bye entrenchment mod and diplomacy mod i mean the expansions themselves

the actual expansions are installed by the impulse downloader into subfolders of the game's install folder (usually the program files\stardock games\sins of a solar empire), theere is no way that I know for zips of the expansions to be downloaded & installed into the mods- folders.

do not try to use entrenchment & diplomacy mods in vanilla sins as the modding structure was significantly changed with the release of entrenchment & diplomacy, BUT the vanilla sins structure is the same ie NEEDING ALL FILES IN THE MOD, whereas entrenchment & diplomacy because of the manifest files only NEED the changed files.

due to these MAJOR differences any mod from an expansion WILL minidump(error) when attempting to use in vanilla sins.

hope this info helps

ok i downloaded the expansions from a modding company is what im trying to say i then unzipped the expansions into the vanilla's mod folder so how do i use them instead of the vanilla

https://www.wincustomize.com/explore/sins_mods
thisis the website i got the expansions from

the only way(s) that I know of to get the actual expansions are

1 buy them from the impulse website

2 buy sins of a solar empire trinity at a game shop, then use impulse to update to current.

any other method is as I see it PIRACY, and you should email all details to [email protected] who are the publishers.

BUT if you are talking about mods for the expansions as are available from wincustomise and others, then you NEED the expansions so that you can play the mod(s), and back to the top of the reply.

harpo

problem was the expansions were on wincustomize as mods themselves as well as the vanilla version
