I started playing the game last night and while I enjoy (there are interface issues that I think need to be addressed) i've also hit quite a few bugs that cause crashes. Unfortunately i can't really tell if they are on your list; a good chunk of the bugs seems to occur when I load a game.

1) it will sometime simply crash; if I then rerun the game i can correctly load it (perhaps latent memory corruption or some sort of race condition)

2) Once I clicked somewhere and it (you guessed) crashed; unfortunately i cannot reproduce this one (there is an interface issue where I go into the trade menu; when I exit it then registers a latent click); btw I wish the trade window allowed you to use items that would stream line needing the equip gui.

3) Sometime elements will vanish when loading a game (it'll stop highlighitng the active player in combat for example)

4) crash once when entering combat (again can't reproduce)

System is sandybridge with I5 (2500k); and windows 7 64 bit; very stable 'cept with FE

I think I had about 8 crashes in 4 hours of play last night and this morning.

Not really related but interface issues include:

trade screen/equip screen - why can't i just do everything in the same screen

can't find an easy way to remove trips from a city when garrisoned there.

funky behavior when I want to group/ungroup

-

newbie stuff - can't find any champions to recruite I like champions; big armies !

Btw bit confused by your comment about copying vectors; don't you use mutex around them; or is the granularity to fine that it is cheaper to copy then mutex ?

@ sentinemodo

I had this problem - black empty portraits instead of unit displays and black backgrounds and foregrounds in the soc selection screen -I found out this was down to my laptop assigning the basic graphics card to work with elemental as opposed to the gaming graphics card - when I entered the card menu and manually assigned it to run with elemental, the game displays were fine - I don't know if you've tried that already but it might be worth a shot

Hey, same problem here, already tried updating drivers and turning off antialiasing. I uploaded some pictures that show how it looks in the game and that in some instances the unit display works correctly.

ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4500/5100 Series

Driver Date: 07/03/2012

Driver Version: 8.970.100.3000

Operating System is Win7 Professional 64bit SP1 on a Lenovo Thinkpad Duo CPU 2,1 GHz, 4 GB RAM

Here we go:

In the game:

In the score screen however, the unit picture shows; maybe the key to understanding the problem lies here?

This bug still exists in tactical battle: https://forums.elementalgame.com/425512/page/1/#3216474

Someone found a loophole for changing equipment and while you can do it, it doesn't work correctly HOWEVER, you can purchase items from your store or trade items (like healing items) which DO appear the following turn for the hero in tactical battle.

I would love to have this addressed so that we CAN change weapons in combat and it appears that all that is needed to be done is to refresh the hero's equipment list after the change (I'm sure it's more than that). But buying from the store and trading should definately be turned off. 

what was the solution?

That's brutal.  I hope this does get resolved and soon.

Excellent, I hope your evil plan works!!!

I just had the same issue with the graphics. I've never had the problem before. I did start a game, played a few turns and then hit ctrl-N. The issue appeared after that. Not sure if the two are related. I restarted the program and started a new game and have not seen the issue again.

This would be a private build I'd post here. Not on SDC.

Frogboy, one more thing, please check if you can do anything about those lockdowns. 

I just got a baby born (well some two months ago). I try to give a turn or two during the feeding, but as often as not, my wife calls me to do something more valuable. when I go back, the laptop is locked. game frozen. I have autosaves set on 1 turn. but if there was a tactical battle that cannot be autoresolved on any given turn, I sometimes have to fight it over ten times.

and that's not mentioning hibernations, changing users on shared machines, starting up anything that require admin priviledges.

They always get path of warriopr as a bonus, and take path of assassin on level 3. sometime they get a path of mage on level 5.

just this game I'm playtesting 0.951 I'm seeing Magnar level 4 with path of warrior and assassin. I also see him having leather greaves and sword. I bet he has a dozen more of the greaves, and he probably won't share them with his champion who runs with his spear only

No changes.

EDIT: at least no change in sovereign on the starting new game and while trying to view monsters/champions in game. design work like previously. 

YES !!

everythings seems to work

I believe that the change is in the backgrounds. they weren't in the build I was seeing them last.

and just to confirm:
