No Animated Spell Graphics

I'm in the same situation.

Yeah the animations ar ereally really small and except for the annoying as sin screen shakes most have almost no effects. many have pointed this out they are really subdued.

RAT

If there was a 'spell animation' option, it'd probably be "Particle Effects". Make sure those are toggled in under the Video(?) tab.

No i know what hes talking about. This happends to me if I alt-tab outta the game, and then back. The tactical battles show no spell effects untill i restart the game.

I'm using an nvidia 275 GTX, latest drivers.

I'm getting spell animations with lightning....swirls of clouds and then lightning striking all around the unit. Looks kewl.

sometimes i don't get one.

sometimes i get one.

sometimes i get a broken one (coming from a random place off screen, or flickering, or something)

I don't have any as well (I didn't even do an ALT-TAB)

Particle effect issues that pop-up after an alt-tab should be fixed after the next patch. If you're never getting particles and you haven't alt-tabbed out of the game, please provide us with your debug.err (see this thread for details on where to find it and how to post it: https://forums.elementalgame.com/391297). With your help I'll do my best to get it fixed as soon as possible!

debug.err file http://pastebin.ca/1926145

tried to upload savefile but was too big

Spell animation in tacticle battle and world map does not exsist.

Throughout the entire game about 90 turns so far.

Looking at your debug.err, I believe the problem may be caused by the same thing that would break the particle effects after an alt-tab. If so, it may work after the upcoming patch. In the meantime, have you tried running the game in a window?

Wow, didn't even know there were spell animations, that should prove interesting. I always alt-tab to check the forums and all !

Thanks !

So wait in order to get my spell animations i can not Alt+Tab or is this a bug that will be fixed with the next patch?

I have the same problem, sometimes animations work, sometimes they dont.

My debug.err

Currently, if you alt-tab out of the game while running in full-screen mode, it will cause the particle effects to stop working. This is fixed in the next patch. I believe the problem that some people are getting where particle effects never show up is caused by the same thing, and should also be working in the next patch. For the moment, running in a window may act as a work-around for these issues.

That is not the problem im having because as soon as i alt-tab i crash hehe. Im looking to play in window mode to test it out but right clicking shortcut/properties and picking minimized still launches the game in full screen.

Alt-tab crashes are a separate issue, unfortunately. To get your game to launch in a window, you'll first need to start up the game, and click on the "Options" button on the Main Menu. On the Options screen, click on the "Video" tab, and then click on the "Use Fullscreen" checkbox so that it no longer has a checkmark in it. Then click on the main menu; a message should pop up saying that you'll need to restart the game. When you close the game and launch it again, it should be running in a window.

Next patch being the just release 1.06? I alt-tab ALL THE TIME so I definitely need this.
