Same error every time I start the game

from Elemental Forums

Hi there,

Every time I run Elemental, I get an error saying "The procedure entry point RIB_unregister_interface could not be located in the dynamic link library mss32.dll".  This error cannot be seen or heard when the game runs in fullscreen and I only found it by noticing my mouse cursor change around the "box" when I thought the game had crashed.  I was able to proceed by clicking repeatedly until I found the "Okay" button.  Once I clicked okay, the game continued as normal with no issues (as far as I can tell).  I am able to play the game and as long as I start it in windowed mode, I can see and dismiss the error and proceed to the menu screen/intro movie.  This was happening to me during the beta too.  I have an ATI Radeon HD 4850 and am running Windows XP with 2gb of RAM.  Please let me know if I can provide any more information.  I hope that it isn't stopping anything else about the game from working without me realising!

Let me know if I can help you with any screenshots or files, etc.  Have a great rest!

Looking forwards to seeing how you implement multiplayer!

Best regards,

Gikon

Please open your debug.err file in notepad, and link the contents into a post here via pastebin. This will give us some technical information that can help troubleshoot your problem.

The file can be found in My Documents\My Games\Elemental

Be sure to copy the debug immediately after the error occurs; if you start the game again, the debug log will be erased and recreated for the new session.

Thanks, Kryo.

I posted one immediately after the error (though it may have been created when I started the game) and one after exiting.  As I said, there was no crash, just the error notification.

The link is here:
