Oops, too late, already reinstalled. Would this hurt anything? I did not reinstall the 1.92 alpha though, figure I will just wait for 1.95 rather than introduce any further complications.

Too late here too, already reinstalled TotA.

Should be fine either way, it's just we don't want to cause you guys to have to do extra work.

Impulse is not wanting to update for me- again.

I'm really starting to hate Impulse for this reason. It's got problems with the registry I believe.

I see update available for DA (.103) but nothing for TA (1.91.021).

Is the new TA patch released yet?

Just to be perfectly clear on the issue: Will 1.95 *only* be available on Impulse? No SDC? If this is the case, then puh-leez give us a .zip. I had a bad experience with the beta; it never worked as it should, and eventually locked my computer up solid. I removed it, and had to manually repair the registry. I'm NOT going through that again.

Stardock, I am one of your biggest fans, and I have every confidence that Impulse will be all that you say it can be. Unfortunately, I don't believe that at this point (and the previous posts confirm) it's quite ready for prime-time.

I didn't see any words about the ever increasing tech rp costs. Are you going to address that?

So Impulse, from my impression so far from using it, just seems to be a more unstable version of SDC with a nasty background, in an attempt to create a Steam-like service with games twice the price of Steam.

I'm installing TOTA when it said it wasn't. Figure I'll see what happens.

I agree about the zip or something. Impulse is nasty so far. (On my laptop it keeps getting stuck trying to update itself and I can't do anything.)

Personally, I can't get past the login screen with Impulse. It keeps saying it can't connect to server. There's nothing special with proxy settings going on, either. Arg.

One thing I'd like to know is how to remove the toolbar Impulse places at the bottom of my screen (and pops up whenever my cursor wanders down there). The program informed me of this after installation, never offered me the option not to install it, and, at first glance, I see no way to remove it. I don't plan on using Impulse very often (only to update GalCiv and Sins) and the icon on my desktop is more than sufficient. I find this most annoying both on principle (no option or readily apparent means of removal) and substance (PITA to have the tool bar pop up accidently on a semi-regular basis).

Interesting. The TotA problem has been mentioned on the Impulse forums since the Betas.

However, other than this issue (which may be due to an old bug in SDC), Impulse so far works great for me. I especially like the fact that I get much higher download rates than with SDC.

wait, 1.95 patch is the same as the 1.92 alpha patch?

The OP says the 1.92 alpha is "a preview of some of the changes".

Hence I'm interpreting this to mean there are some other changes in v1.95. Not the Word of God, of course. It'd seem strange to change the version numbering for something that had no additional changes...

The toolbar that pops up, does it have a blue or black/grey background? What are the contents of the toolbar?

I just downloaded and installed Impulse and it works like a charm. I upgraded Dark Avatar and it even put a dedicated shortcut on my desktop for Dark Avatar. Now I have dedicated shortcuts for Gal Civ II, DA and ToTA.

I didn't get that strange toolbar at the bottom, everything works like it's supposed to on Vista Home Premium. My OS came already installed with my comp, if that makes any difference.

Anyway, Impulse looks cool, and seems to work correctly.

I'm not going to do anything with ToTA until the official patch release is available on Impulse.
