New for 1.20 I'm getting a DirectX crash when I come back after Alt+Tabbing out of the game. I didn't have this problem with 1.19.
This is with Windows 7 64-bit, Radeon 5870 1GB, 4GB of system RAM
Please open your debug.err file in notepad, and link the contents into a post here. 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.
Fully uninstalling, deleting the \My Games\Elemental folder, and reinstalling seems to have cleared this up for me. I'll post a debug if it happens again.
Exactly the same thing just happened to me, on my first turn. All I did was move my sovereign two spaces, found a city, then I alt-tabbed and the game crashed saying DX: Invalid call (I think that's what it says, will confirm if it happens again).
Windows 7 Home Premium, 64-bit Pentium Dual Core 2.6 GHz, 4GB DDR 3, nVidia GT240 with latest drivers.
