can't update Space Rangers 2 Reboot

MADJOSEPH — Sat, 04 Jul 2009 13:51:29 -0400

Once agian, another problem with Impusle. sigh....

I had already purchased the retail version of Space Rangers 2 when Impulse was born. Yet, wonderfully, I was able to purchase Reboot and it worked fine with the other game. Now, however, I discover an update to Reboot. But I can't update because it wants me to register the original game Space Rangers 2. I don't seem to be able to do this since I didn't purchase from Stardock.

Anyone have any idea how I can get the...

Remapping keys

kerzain — Mon, 27 Apr 2009 14:01:53 -0400

I'd like to remap the WSAD key controls for the 3D RTS planetary battles, but there is no option in-game. Does anyone know if there is a settings file that can be edited?

Planetary battles freeze for me.

Kanaric — Sun, 26 Apr 2009 18:35:51 -0400

Whenever i go to do a planetary battle the game freezes after the progress bar fills.

I have vista 64 and a geforce 9800gts

Problems installing reboot

Grafvolod — Fri, 03 Apr 2009 09:38:11 -0400

I have the boxed version of SR2 and just downloaded Reboot - the first time I tried to run it it told me I needed to have SR2 installed then made me redownload but let me pick which directory SR2 was in this time. When I tried to run it upon completion of the download though, it told me a .dll was missing and began redownloading Reboot again. There's an update available for my now detected copy of SR2, but I don't have a CD key for it that I know about. What should I do? Thanks in advance.

Registration Problem

AltReal7 — Sat, 14 Mar 2009 01:17:55 -0400

I bought Space Rangers 2 from Direct2drive.com and then saw the Reboot expansion here. I bought the expansion and registered it, but it won't let me install the expansion because it says Space Rangers 2 is not registered. I tried to add a registration with the code I received from Direct2drive.com, but it won't accept it because it didn't come from here. I need to know what to do to install the expansion. Thanks for the help!

Mauna Roa Island

Zaltark — Fri, 13 Mar 2009 20:09:03 -0400

I don't know if it's me, or the difficulty setting, but whenever I play on this map (which I can't get past) The computer player seems to have infinit resources. I have the reboot expansion if that means anything. It's kind of frustrating, but I can not take over an enemy base. As soon as I kill thier units, they're respawning them. I played on game for like an hour killing over 400 baddies with 83 deaths, owning half the map. But whatever I kill is replaced immediately. Even if I make it all th...

Is Reboot expansion compatible with English DVD version of SR2 ?

pdifolco — Wed, 11 Mar 2009 15:49:51 -0400

I'm in France, so I did get the English DVD version of SR2.

Now I'd like to get the expansion - well, as I cannot buy it I'll have it offered by an US friend - but I'm not sure it's compatible. My DVD of SR2 has StarFarce protection (won't talk about nocd, no I won't), so I'm rather wary...

Did someone here successfully installed SR2:R over English version ?

Thanks !

Unique ships bug

ChristopherP — Fri, 27 Feb 2009 08:24:15 -0500

The Rapid Housing series of hulls are bugged. The ships doesnt follow a progression that makes sense, the 3rd in the series has the biggest speed boost.

Looking around i found a chart in russian that states that the 4th ship in each series of unique hulls indeed has lower boosts. Im sure that is'nt the case in the game (maybe it was longer ago, only "rapid" series seems to be that way now). Is there a fix for this?

Yeeeahh! Finally! Got it!

Rumbleman — Mon, 19 Jan 2009 11:31:56 -0500

First of all: Thanks to the makers of SR2 and SR2:reboot. Thanks to the stardock for distributing this extremely underrated game and its great "expansion". And thanks to Netriak for his patches that have made the game fully playable and enjoyable.

Ok! Time to cool of bit. The reason for all this thanking this and that was the fact that I finally got my SR2:Reboot installed and working. I have waited this moment for around TWO years now so it's kind of "dream come true" for me. I had a whole l...

RTS Mission: Pride of Endoria

LordChambers — Wed, 14 Jan 2009 05:00:49 -0500

I didn't have any monumental challenges with Mauna Roa. That said, Pride of Endoria has me completely stumped. I can't forsee this actually being winnable by the human because there are many wonky spots on the ship where, despite completely clear line of site, the AI won't fire until until directly adjacent to another unit. Essentially this means your robots won't defend themselves unless you make them fire manually, or move them around so they will "notice" enemy units in plai...

Fix for search engine bug?

max.yap — Tue, 13 Jan 2009 04:06:38 -0500

Hi, just bought the SR2 complete package. I played SR2 a while back, and one of my favourite features was the search engine. I've been reading through the forum, and realise that there's a bug with the search engine filters that Netriak has fixed but apparently hasn't been updated on Impulse? Why is that so? Shouldn't all bugfixes and updates be released through Impulse so that everybody can access them?

Just wondering...

wildwood178 — Thu, 08 Jan 2009 10:21:10 -0500

Planetary mission indicator

allthumbs — Mon, 22 Dec 2008 12:53:40 -0500

I've only done the first planet mission, and the number 1 is indicated on the start up screen of the game for Planetary Missions completed. However, if I start a new game, the indicator remains at 1. Is there a way to reset it to zero? I deleted all the save files I could find, but had no luck.

Confused on orange ships/bonuses

Eard — Thu, 18 Dec 2008 20:51:37 -0500

So, looking thru the manual, and playing around in the game this past weekend after picking it up in the fire sale, I think I have most things figured out so far. Except the orange ships/modules. Pigamar modules and Rapid/Invul/Somethingorother Hulls come to mind. Sometimes different visuals, but more significantly, they always have some kind of bonus attached to them, that doesn't seem to work. Say +15 to missile units. Do these just not change the numbers on the module, or are they broken...

Partner always runs away lol

lowyhong — Thu, 18 Dec 2008 11:52:52 -0500

Hi, I'm still new to the game, trying to learn the mechanics. I'm having problems trying to get my first partner to stay on track. Sometimes while following me, he'd go off track and do his own things. That's annoying enough; worst still is when I REALLY need his help to help me take down an enemy pirate, and during combat, he just runs off to a planet - his health is not even below 3/4 of his hp lol

Any ideas why?

rbutters — Wed, 17 Dec 2008 04:49:02 -0500

I just purchased SR 2 Complete. After impulse apparently downloaded and installed it without any input from me, when I start the game the screen goes black for a couple seconds then it drops me back to the desktop.

Razer Barracuda AC-1 Sound

I read about someone installing Reboot over a previous CD SR2 copy and having some resolution issues or something, but this is a fr...

probably stupid question

zndkwin — Tue, 16 Dec 2008 22:19:04 -0500

like the title said, but im concerned, i just recently joined impulse driven, and bought this game, because of the weekend sale. So, my question is, does the space ranger 2 pack have any kind of DRM? I'd like to know please, whether it's securom, starforce (which i highly doubt), tages, etc.

many thanks!

Game Crashes on robot training mission

lotr-sam0711 — Tue, 16 Dec 2008 17:19:04 -0500

I've tried to do the very first mission after the first slew of training missions where you have to do something with robots. I'm not sure what the mission is because every time I say yes and it loads the game crashes. No error message, just an exception that comes up but I can't read it. Any suggestions?

Download was Invalid

ReleeSquirrel — Mon, 15 Dec 2008 20:05:06 -0500

I've tried downloading Space Rangers 2 Complete twice now, and both times it downloads it all and says 'Download was Invalid' am I doing something wrong? It takes a long time to download and having to do it a third time only to have it mess up again would not be nice.

Edit: Huh, third time is the charm I guess. It worked this time.

Custom resolution possible?

buckshot23 — Sat, 13 Dec 2008 23:09:48 -0500

I would love to change the resolution to something other than the two that are currently in the video options, is it possible?

Reboot and complete

Artek211 — Fri, 12 Dec 2008 21:23:45 -0500

I have purchased the Space Rangers 2: Complete through Impulse.

When I purchased it, both the Reboot and Complete were downloaded by Impulse, so they both show in my MyGames.

Currently the Reboot is showing as "Update Available" but when I try to patch it through the Impulse, it says I dont have license for it.

I have registered license for the Complete, and since it loaded both of them automatically (and the same game is played when I start eighter of them), I should be able ti update ...

Reboot's manual

Pidesco — Fri, 12 Dec 2008 18:55:07 -0500

I just got Space Rangers 2 Complete from Impulse, and I'm wondering about where I can find a detailed description of the changes between SR2 and Reboot. I'd expect to find that in Reboot's manual, except that I can't seem to find one anywhere.

Help?
