Elemental started working on my Vista 64 machine not sure what fixed it but these are the things that I did. This was all after I deleted all traces of elemental from betas before full release which I was told to try on forum<< so this didn’t seem to help.

Launched directly from Element folder after I did this no go then:

Launched elemental_docs_cleanup and elemental_wipe_prefs located in the elemental folder.

Then tried to launch again from Elemental folder and it worked.

The game will start most of the time and even when it doesn’t it does not go into not responding like it has been up until now since beta 3. Could part of the issue be a network problem?
