v1.01 is up.

from Elemental Forums

1.01 just was released for Elemental: War of Magic. Hopefully it will correct my crash on saving a game! Heres some notes:


Elemental - War of Magic
------------------------

Welcome to the world of Elemental!

Elemental 1.01
------------------------

* Lots of new seed maps (particularly for medium and large)
* Enemy Unit caching modified so that they are released from the game after death (this should address the “game gets slower over time” issue some have reported)
* In tactical battles, the camera will only move IF the unit is off screen
* Fixed a crash related to city tiles on DirectX 11 based setups with a game within a game
* Removed non-terrain based tactical battle bonus modifiers (an interesting idea but unintuitive)
* There are technologies that will spawn more shards on the map.
* Fixed tactical heal spell to ensure that it doesn’t do any 0 point healing.
* Fixed issue that caused failed spells to say “miss”
* Disabled the use of the L8 texture format to use the A8R8G8B8 format as it was incompatible with certain video cards and causing the game to crash (fog of war issue)
* Worldly knowledge renamed to “Tech Knowledge” to be consistent with the manual.
* Fixed a crash related to children being born during a reloaded saved game that could cause a crash on 64-bit machines
* Fixed a crash related to reference counting on the Dynasty screen that happens on 32-bit Windows XP machines
* Tactical Battles now support edge scroll
* Fixed a buffer overrun issue that caused random crashing on SSD SATA drives while saving a game.
* Cosmetic fix to the object tool in th map editor
* Fixed a bug that would cause the goodie hut graphics not to be removed when they were no longer relevant.
* Fixed minimap bug where unhiding and dragging the minimap without first resizing it would cause the map part to get offset from the rest of the minimap window, leaving it blank
* Fixed bug on loading a game or starting a new game within a game where clicking on a city would leave its resource tab blank until it was clicked on again
* Improved performance of units joining into an army
* Hooked up the draggable window showing the list of players who have requested a new turn or not in multiplayer, automatically shows up in multiplayer but does not get filled or ever unhide in single player [NOTE: Multiplayer servers will NOT be enabled until AFTER day 0]
* Fixed crash related to very very fast machines loading up data.zip before initialization causing data to not be fully enabled which would result in a crash when the object in question was accessed.
* Ice Bolt spell removed
* New spell: Stab of Ice, short range spell, causes enemy to lose turn in addition to damage.
* Sion Unit given special abilities and rebalanced

So, just to confirm, this not the 0-day patch, right?

There will still be a big update tomorrow?

Of course, only Impulse. That way people who pirated the program can't get updates. }:)

Nice to see the ice spell updated, I was wondering why it did not have some added effect to make it stand out. Cant wait to play tomorrow with all the nice updates.

Does this bork a previously saved campaign? I saved my game having got the ok to go through Procipinee's blockade...updated game, loaded save, went to barricade and I can't figure out how to get through even though my quest log says I have permission...

Bah can you describe (for newbs) how to get patch on Impulse? It seems it was released before Im start to play yesterday (I've started game from Impulse) but I have v1.0.

Interesting, the patch focus mostly on crashes, not on gameplay, such as AI and balance. When are we going to see gameplay polish?

Reply #15 from Elemental Forums Top

Tomorrow. Priorities, my friend. This patch was excellent !

You know I knew you would be in here with this:)

 

As for the other guy asking where it would be, sorry you can't update your pirated version hahahaha.

I think the zero day patch is all about polish, AI and that stuff.

I downloaded and launched the game from impulse, got the popup telling me of the update, but when I clicked "get update", I only got back to the "my games" tab of impulse and nothing happened. Is it a bug? Am I supposed to do something? I didn't find any update option in impulse.

When Impulse started it it said I needed to upgrade some version of IE, but since it worked nevertheless and I never use IE, I haven't done it yet, do I need to upgrade IE in order to get the update? (at work now, can't test right this instant)

Hi,

 

right click on the Elemental entry under My Games, in the context menue there should be an Update option.

 

Greetings from good old eurupe

This version actually made the memory leaks worse for me.

Reply #21 from Elemental Forums Top

I joked with my friend that the best copy protection is to release a good game broken.

There is a joke about me winning the lotto? I am waiting for that to come true  :D

Reply #22 from Elemental Forums Top

So when can we play the campaign? I can't get past the blockade. Restarted the game several times now...

 

PS

We NEED a compare equipment window! It's a pain having to exit to my character look at his weapon, open the shop, go though the stuff. Have to repeat to see if I need something else etc etc.

Of course it does, what else would you expect? People who suffer from crashes have it worse than those who want "polish"

I believe the next patch may have some polish updates in it.

Considering this is just one day after the pre release, i think this is a pretty comprehensive patch. Nice one people.

Nice one with the tactical 'missle' camera. And releasing the resources. Need to check it though.

My game is also borked at the blockade. What the hell did I just pay $50 for?!
