Due to ICO community which is breathing its last breaths I am afraid it might be too late 

Can't even download newest patch.. gives me an error on GameStop saying "Error: File downloaded is smaller than expected." This is very frustrating; in addition, GameStop won't let me register Sins of a Solar Empire saying Error: 204 email or serial is incorrect.

i have 2 different email account and 1 is for sins and the other email is for both entrenchment and diplomacy. i had to re register original sins even though it was showing in my games on gs stardock impulse. then after i registered the original sins it allowed me to update all of them starting in order from left to right: sins, entrenchment and diplomacy.

SGC-1 try uninstalling everything to have a fresh install for trinity. this should iron out any errors registrations and all.

Being rude to the devs is probably not going to speed up the fix... they're aware of it already.

In other words, has anything at all changed except for the ICO server?

Has anything changed for SP? I don't want to get this unless something has...

"Is this in preparation for rebellion? I'm dwindling on edge right now and could rebel at any moment!"

Yes, it is some groundwork for Rebellion, even though that's a ways off.

If you're having trouble updating, please uninstall your game and reinstall. That will be the quickest solution.

I've been having serious connectivity issues with ICO very recently, most likely due to the 1.33 update that was just released: I've been getting intermittent lag spikes of 20,000 or so, freezing the entire game for a time, before getting back to normal. The same thing's been evident in the lobby: when I log in, it often takes like 10 seconds for ICO to successfully display that I'm in the lobby... and it can take a similar long amount of time when I change an game setting option, like race or team.

This doesn't always happen - sometimes it responds pretty normally, at least for a short period of time - but this hasn't happened to me before, and started happening just as the 1.33 update was applied a few hours ago.

I'm not sure if it's a problem with my ISP or with ICO, but based on the timing I would guess ICO... has anyone else been experiencing problems?

hahaahahaahaaahaaha 

Nope, we only moved to new server hardware and did some minor tweaks to point to the newer databases.

Sandman - You'll want to email downloadsupport@impulsedriven.com from the sounds of it.

Have you updated to the latest Impulse version yet? (The one that's now called Gamestop something)

If updating Impulse/Gamestop doesn't work, try uninstalling and reinstalling Impulse/Gamestop.

Update via Impulse worked for me few days ago. So nice to devs from me. Good fellows!
