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

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

Also, there's a lot you can do with the software that isn't playing the campaign if for some reason you can't get past the blockade after you've slain both batches of darklings. 

 

Play around with a game that's randomly generated, and wait for the day 0 patch.

Is there any word on when the day-0 patch will be online?

My game is still running fine. Still only one crash to date and no memory leaks or graphics lag or any of that stuff. Guess my i7 920 overclocked to 3.2ghz and 6gb 1600 latency 8 ram and ati 5770 1gb dedicated ram are best in the world for playing this game without issues. :)) This game is just too much fun to complain about nitpicky things. BTW I got my rig from IBUYPOWER they make the best systems nowadays and don't try to rip you off.

A couple of things to point out.  Minor campaign spoilers might be included.

I believe you need to click on the Blockade, not past it.  It should give a popup text.  Then you can click past the map.

Second, I agree with the trading issue.  When you get tier 3 and 4 armor and weapons, I'm unequiping everything I'm upgrading so I can see what I"m looking for, then buying the upgraded stuff.

To add to the blockade quest, If i remember correctly after saving the city, and then wiping out the lair, i still needed to go back to talk with queen porcupine before i could get through the blockade, not sure if you did that or not. I recall getting a message after I beat the darkling lair that made me think i could just go through the blockade, and I couldn't so I went back to the queen.

Nope, I've gone back to try everything, including talking to her again, but nada. My quest log even states she said I can pass.

Many highly relevant fixes here for me. Good stuff. :) (Hopefully)

I loaded version 1.01 last night.

The good news: The game no longer runs as though my CPU is mired in mud.

The bad news: Every 10 or 12 minutes I get a hard crash, black screen, and need to do a hard reboot of my computer.

More bad news: It's no longer possible to build anything but basic buildings.  So if I establish a town next to fertile ground, the farm is not available.  If I establish a town next to iron ore, an iron mine is not available.

Wait...are you clicking on the fertile ground, or are you trying to build on it through the city menu.  If the latter, stop it :)  Try to just click on the fertile land you should see an icon with a hammer to build a field there.  You can do this on any resource in your influence
