Updating to 1.201from Impulse version
« on: September 02, 2009, 04:23:22 pm »
How does one update to 1.201 from the Impulse version? It does not seem to have a "Check for Updates" button.

You can do it manually with the zip file if you want, otherwise you have to wait for the Impulse client itself to be updated; it doesn't support the regular updater, since our installer is not used and since Impulse handles that with the Impulse client itself.  I had hoped it would be up on Impulse today, but perhaps not -- PAX has everybody pretty busy over there.

     When I first checked today, at 8:45 eastern, 1.201 was available via Impulse.

Yep, it just came out a few hours ago.  I meant to update this thread, but only updated the main news thread.  Thanks for fixing the oversight! :)

It was there this morning. I also could not find "the" zip-file. Normally patches are in this forum, but this didn't seem to be there.

Ah well, up and running, and on my way to defeat two AI-8s...

ZIP files for official releases are typically in the news post on the forums for the release. I hope that helps. :)

Having read only the top lines of the message (install patches through the game interface), I entirely missed the "If you want do download the patch" line. which was about half a screen down.

Sorry for wasting your time :(
