My ISP was acting up earlier today and my Inet was down for a few hours. During that time I was unable to start Elemental because I kept getting a message that said unable to download data file. Please be sure you are connected to the internet and logged into Impulse?!?!

I couldn't even get past the main loading screen to the menu and was kinda suprised to see a message like that considering stardock has such a nice track record of not bogging down paying customers with stupid DRM type stuff. But this almost seems like it's some kind of DRM message. I just hope this Inet requirement isn't in the final game which is obvious I already paid for seeing as I'm in beta from fully paid pre-order.
