Mine took awhile but it updated okay, just had to wait being's I'm 5hrs ahead in the UK, but I hope all you guys have fun playing it I'm deffinatly gonna be playing tomorrow at some point

Stardock/Ironclad,

Mine has been Verifying Download for about two hours now.  Is that normal?  Should I give it another two hours?  It's quite frustrating.

Thanks,

Phalnax

Were you updating from 1.05 or one of the beta patches?

Gee Star/Clad, let me ask this question.

Are defenses worth building now, or are you going to make us pay $10 just so we don't have to have our fleets babysit our planets?  Because usually if a game dynamic is broken, its fixed in a patch, such as this.  Not a $10 "micro-expansion".

just downloaded and played it. they aren't kidding when they say "major graphical improvements"

I got mine downloaded and working finally.  Just had to "Resume" several times, but it finally downloaded it all.  GREAT explosions in the game now.

Indeed, the new explosions are awesome!

i cant download the upgrade.... I have windows vista.....help!!!!

I have the same problem as lifeat30fps. It doesn't show up in Impulse. I went through the "updates" in game, and that didn't work. If I enable "Show Pre-Release Versions" I can download 1.09b, but no 1.1. Some help would be really appreciated. I really want to play this.

EDIT: Nevermind. Just tried again, and now 1.1 is there. I hit the "Check for Updates" and then it appeared. This is weird, because that didn't work last time I tried it. Oh well, at least I can get it now.

Might be a dumb suggestion, kyogre, have you tried re-logging or hitting F5 to refresh? Without pre-release checked, what version does it show as available? 1.05?

on impulse it says it comes out jan 1 2009.

why?

1.1 is not Entrenchment The January 1, 2009 date for Entrenchment is a placeholder. The beta will be out "soon", with the final release date depending on how the beta goes.

Annatar,

I am downloading the patch normally.  I have 1.05 and have never done any betas.  It still says Verifying Download.  Should I try logging off or something?

Thanks

Phalnax

I like the new fighters and bombers. Cool way to mark a new version.

If you're running Vista, make sure you run Impulse as Administrator otherwise it apparently won't verify. I'm not sure if you'll need to re-download, but I don't think so. Just close Impulse, right click the icon and Run as Administrator. The patch should show up as paused in your Updates tab and you should be able to continue.
