Reply to question about UK price for Sins: Entrenchment in Sins of a Solar Empire Stardock Forums

I have to agree with unikey, these kind of stunts would place Stardock in the "good" company along with Microsoft, Adobe etc. [quote who="Annatar11" reply="10" id="1897563"]Eh, you should be blaming Kalypso since it's their price that Stardock is forced to match.

Why isn't there a "revert to default" button somewhere? If I install and apply one skin, then does the same with a second and a third, somehow the result is a combination of the three. It is seriously annoying as currently it's almost needed to reimage the drive between skins to get rid of the garbage inbetween. For instance, the image below shows a thingy left by either the Azul3D or the Dark Knight skin which for now seems to require an image restore to remove. (ap

@steve, what did you expect? They haven't even listed .168. New beta? Impulse doesn't say so, but instead displays "Installed beta: 4.09[b].003. Latest Update: 17/09/2008", which is kind of strange. Apparently Impulse doesn't display the version of the new beta if a beta is installed. For some reasons the "Last Update" date changes constantly, which isn't logical at all. Port Royale 2 was apparently updated 1 Aug 2008 according to Impulse.. and that game hasn't

Astyanax0, most likely (unless it has a separate codebase, which is somewhat unlikely).. as it does the 32bit one. :)

Mindtooth, I guess .168 is the current one, but .09b is the current beta. :)

Bebi, cure one thing and everything activation related would appear to be fixed (and apparently is). If everything has the correct activation, no attempt to run activate.exe will happen from the shell extension, IP or IPE, so no error dialog will show.. :)

Christolia, I guess it might only be available in Impulse as it is the primary delivery vehicle for the products, although SDC isn't abandoned. As I've mentioned before this is a beta, so it should be treated as such.. If you're not familiar with the term, read http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Software_release_life_cycle

@pictoratus, I was a bit hesitant myself when it was mentioned in the thread "activation keeps coming up..." that Goose40 got rid of this issue after installing the beta. After asking for confirmation and receiving it from Goose40 I decided to try (making sure I had a new backup image before continuing), and, well it seems to have squashed my problems with activation (battle of activations etc) which is somewhat well documented in these forums. As it is a beta, the only thing yo

Btw, I guess I should update this thread too.. IP4 4.09b cured all my issues with activation it seems.. :) I can run all parts of IP4 in sequence as many times as I want to without any of them nagging for activation. To be sure the beta contained activation I renamed the sig.bin and they asked for activation when they should (I only tested one or two of the parts this way).

@Seabass, yes it was very nice to have something that works :) If it stays that way there's no need bothering with locating the missing tickets, although I hope something has been done to avoid deleting active escalated tickets again. And whatever you do (and I seriously hope you currently don't), don't run antispam software on tickets that have been replied to by your own staff (you suggested this could've happened, but I hope you meant only replies sent by email only, and not

It does seem 4.09b has cured the activation issue (or the activation altogether, but that is unlikely).. :) It is nice to see they actually has managed to get rid of the most basic issue with IP4, I call is basic because without a fully activated product you can't fully utilize it whether the rest was bugfree or not. I've repeatedly ran the shell extension, IP, and IPE in sequence and none asks for activation anymore.

@Goose40, thank you.. I guess I'm going to try the beta then :) Hopefully without any extra issues. However, I do see some complains that the 09 in some cases may cause explorer to crash and crash (hopefully I avoid this issue, I have a backup image just in case). Hopefully I can confirm the working activations as this has been my persistent issue with IP4 since the date it was released.

@Schekker, good for you :) Now you probably only have the battle of activations left, which hopefully will be solved on the next update.. I haven't heard it from anyone official, but I can hope they'll make it happen.

@Seabass, I appreciate you taking the time to attempt to help me.. Sounds like you either found it or you found the original (pre mergeattempt ticket). Answered. I hear some rumours that the newest beta has a fix for the battle of activations that works.. Can this be confirmed by you or anyone? I'm a bit reluctant to install beta's on this computer as I prefer my own programs to be the only ones with beta status, but I will if it cures this problem without introducing too much new b

I'm looking for confirmation before even attempting installing the beta so I can save myself the eventual trouble needlessly..

Reply to IconPackager v4.0 Release Support Thread in IconPackager Stardock Forums

Still no replies anywhere regarding the lost tickets (especially one of them regarding IP), just a single one on Aug 6 stating that the tickets I was referring to wasn't there.. which was my point exactly. Btw, the ticket number for my IP case was apparently [color="#8B0000"]CYT-199472[/color] according to [link="https://forums.stardock.com/312892/page/1/#1745512"]this post[/link]

@Goose, so you can run all three IP apps (including changing an icon via Properties->Icon tab and applying) repeatedly without any of them asking for activation at all?

Reply to IconPackager v4.0 Release Support Thread in IconPackager Stardock Forums

@Seabass, you have a PM.. In this case both I refer to was escalated the last I saw of them, but now they're gone completely missing. By reading some of my last messages on these forums you should get an idea on when the ticket was first started.. I guess it is about 2 months 16 days ago (something along those lines, IP was at .164).. IP was about the activation issue..

@Dazzyl, now try to run IconPackager and IconExplorer.. At least one of them will demand activation, and when you do, the shell extension won't be.

Seabass, thank you for the update. However, a small update of my own.. Now, after I posted 2 tickets over 2 months (2 months, 10 days I think) ago, one for IconPackager and one for Impulse(the former is not fixed, but the latter probably is), they have apparently just deleted the tickets from esupport. My 2 very old (and unrelated) ones that are closed is displayed in the "View Tickets", but not the two I mentioned. I must say I haven't found an update that fixes the IP

Strange.. I can't see what other programs might interfere.. The only significant nonStardock software usually running) is StorageCraft ShadowProtect Desktop 3.2, VMWare Workstation 6.0.4 and Everest Ultimate. Most of these is a h*ll to disable completely. :) I tried the complete uninstall approach (in addition to the new Impulse update), with Ccleaner and the lot.
