READ BEFORE POSTING - Beta Reporting Guide

Specifically, some sort of information would be useful.  A debug.err.  Did you report to FogBugz?  If so, what's the ticket ID?

I have that very same problem. My debug.err is here.

I am having the same problem. So far I've been able to work around this by changing the skipintro setting in the prefs.ini file from =0 to =1, which as it states, skips the intro and goes directly to the main menu. So far, no further crashes after the loading screen.

After hitting the hang that I reported in another thread, I uninstalled and reinstalled.  The game started up, I changed the options to switch to windowed mode, exited the game, and restarted.  Then I hit the crash reported in this thread.  The skipintro prefs.ini change that stevty2889 suggested circumvents the crash for me also.

I've reported the problem on fogbugz, ticket 70726.

I managed to make it work by changing the selection to full-screen.

I edited the settings file and changed SkipIntro=0 to SkipIntro=1.  Relaunched the game and it launched without issues.  Deleted teh Debug.err file, changed SkipIntro back to 0 and relaunched again.  No problems this time.

Closed down impulse.  Started it back up and launched elemental.  Crash in intro again
