We're also getting random crashes that seem to be a timing issue with the downloading of the data.zip file. Please try a few more times to see if you get through, or if it always happens.

Thanks!

Not able to start on Vista OS home premium... after 5 tries i see it waits almost 4 seconds and crash anyway.

Crash on startup for me too. I was playing Dwarf Fortress at the same time.

Immediately after installing .25, I was able to start it and play until I hit a crash reported in another thread.  However, each time I tried to start a new game after that, it crashed on the splash screen, with the windows message "Turn based fantasy strategy game has stopped working".  This is on Vista Home Premium. 

If I uninstall and immediately reinstall the game via Impulse, it still crashes.  If I uninstall with Impulse, manually erase the left over Elemental directories in My Games, Program Data, and Program Files, and then reinstall with Impulse, I can once again play one game before hitting the startup crash.

I'll submit the crash info to fogbugz.

I had constant crashes while starting the game after updating until I let the intro play through completely. Since then it started fine strangely enough.

Oh hey I had the same issue as Iceman346.  Once I let the whole intro play through I didn't get any more crashes.
