It looks like your install is corrupt. Look at how it's not parsing any of the screen files.

yes that's exactly what i'm looking at! *feigns knowing nod*

worked this bit out as well if it helps: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/9568289/Elemental0_98-2010-07-29T20-15-39-13.zip though i guess you're saying i should reinstall.

I get probably the same problem:

End of debug.err is:

Just updated a few minutes ago.

Try going to C:\ProgramData\Stardock\Elemental - War of Magic\screens and delete the files there. That should cause the files to be re-created.

If you continue to get the error after clearing out those files, it may be that the DXAtlasWin.exe file didn't get updated. Did you get prompted to reboot after updating?

nope, no reboot. and i've been a bit eager to get playing so i've uninstalled and i'm currently downloading/installing.

I uninstalled the game and reinstalled. Now works fine.

Of course, as I type this, the game crashed but I had exited so it's not really an issue to me - dump here anyway: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/8046784/Elemental0_98-2010-07-29T22-37-20-737.zip
