Elemental has stopped working, also Out of Memory errors, extremly frustrating

from Elemental Forums

I get one of the two errors, Elemental Has Stopped Working, or Out of Memory error every couple of turns. Also frustrating is the saved game issue. I save the game, get one of the error messages, load a save game and its several moves BEFORE I saved the game. The concept behind the game is excellent but the bugs make it almost unplayable. I put up with them because I otherwise enjoy the game, and want to see what happens next.

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.

If there was a dump zip created in C:\ProgramData\Stardock\Elemental - War of Magic (C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Stardock\Elemental - War of Magic on Windows XP), please post it via drop.io.

I am also facing the same problem when i use the map editor, where if the program crashes, my saved map will revert back to before whatever i had edited. Also, whenever i quit the map editor and go back in again, the program will crash. The river tool in the map editor is also extremely bugged as it doesn't register any changes i made whenever i reload the map to edit.

 

heres the link to my debug.err

I hope the bugs get sorted out soon. It's very frustrating to keep editing the same things over and over again. Thank you for your time.
