That for the reply Gargabee

Went to the link and registered, and it comes up with a dowload link for Impulse exe. This is where I reun into problems. I can dowload the exe fine, but on the Univercity computer you can't just install a progrem on thier computers (ie impulse) and I am assuming that Impulse must be installed, then patch downloaded and saved to a portable medium. If so, I am still in the same boat, unable to get lastest patches even though I own the game.

Sounds like a Lock-Down on the PC. We do it our office as well to prevent users installing non-standard software that would screw up our Custom setup. Local install require Admin rights. It is a Security thing.

Thanks again for the qiuck respones guy. So, my Uni pc is indeed set up so that only admin can load programs, however if I can dowload the correct files from impulse, as Garabee states, I will be able to download patch (in some unreconiable form that only impulse can read) and install impulse on my home pc (no internet connecttion) which will then be able to install the patch (Am I understanding you right Garabee) then this could work. Will try and find patch to dowload.

Cheers

Yep thankfully this isnt steam, Stardock-developed games usually only need a one time activation on impulse and theyre yours forever and ever and Impulse doesnt tries to verify the instlation everytime you access it like Steam. (at least thats how it works for me).

As Gargabee noted there is no "patch" file, which just means that you would need to (re)download the whole game if you're doing an offline install in order to update it, not that you can't update it.

We don't produce standalone patchers any more as Impulse can simply look at the files on the machine and the files on the server and download the ones that have changed; no messy or time-consuming packaging or testing on all different previous versions of the game is needed, so we can deploy patches much more rapidly. Most people at this point have internet access on their home machines, so this is not an issue generally.

As noted on the other thread, if you installed from the disc and it's not appearing in add/remove programs, please contact support@stardock.com for help in removing it manually.
