We put up v1.05.016 in the early hours of the morning. Fixes: - We finally found and killed a battle engine related crash that we think was the cause of virtually all end of turn related crashes. - Archers and units with special abilities can perform actions as long as they have action points avail
[quote quoting="post"] Hi Have been playing the new patch for a coulpe of hours. 1 There should be a escalating cost for creating new settlements ex 1st 100g 2 200g 3rd 400g etc. To be able to spawn towns like mushrooms at the start makes the game a lot less appealing to me. bugs so far 1 Cant equipp my heroes, no shield, its gone. Sux to buy gear that I cant use 2 Alien caravans block my captial, so i have difficulty viewing
Here's a video capture of my machine at the office from a few minutes ago: http://www.screencast.com/t/ZDJmYTdlYjM ~2500x1600 Let's see what's running in common on those systems.

[quote who="SuperTimo" reply="83" id="2729613"]I tested it, and the same result here: Elemental isn't using my GPU, so my poor CPU keeps having too much to do I've also got Intel CPU and Ati Radeon HD 5770 with the newest (10.7) drivers (on WinXP 32bit). Very strange, maybe it's the drivers indeed? But strange that the problems happen to Nvidia users also...

Let me go see where they're at.
[quote who="delijoe79" reply="78" id="2729584"] Quoting Frogboy, reply 75Have any of you guys tried LOWERING the resolution? Every debug.err I see here shows you running at very very high resolutions. Go to options and try lowering the resolution first. It's not the resolution. I ran it at 1280x1024, got the same problem at 1024x768... I think the above poster had a good idea.... the graphics card is not being used correctly... Mayb
It's definitely using the GPU in most cases (certainly here):
[quote who="esomonk" reply="34" id="2724855"]I have a radeon 5850 and I get really choppy frames once the cities get built up. I can run Crysis on High settings great. This is the first game since I upgraded that I have performance issues. I'm just baffled at this point.[/quote] I read your other response where it appears that for some reason it's not using your GPU. The question is: Why? There's different OSes listed here and different video cards. Th
This is probably a brute force solution but try uninstalling and purely reinstalling from Impulse. When I see this: DebugMessage: Error parsing file C:\ProgramData\Stardock\Elemental - War of Magic\screens\TacticalTrayWnd.dxscreen. Object of type StatusBar with OBJID MainUI_Spell_Bar_Mask has wrong size before parsing scripts 160 x 0 It makes me think that there's a corrupt install or something.

Also fixes a crash bug. In theory, this build should not crash for anyone.
Yep. We have an update going up presently. Hang on. XML change.
Are you running a saved game. Only new games will use the new data.

In hindsight it was an unbelieveably silly thing for us to miss. We also missed the summoned units. Since it's only a data change, should only take a little bit to update. You guys should try sleep once in a while. It works wonders! [/quote] LOL. Glad we didn't go to sleep. Such
G for Guard.
Thanks. This is the one we fixed but didnt' get into 1.05. We're in the process of updating now. You'll see an update notification in game when it's up (probably about an hour).
You'll be seeing an update notification in a few minutes to inform you of the new update. It'll be tiny though.
[quote who="Spyndel" reply="7" id="2729188"] Quoting Frogboy, reply 5We just checked in a fix, so we're going to update (for tonight, we're just disabling the empires). There's a stupid archer bug that got put in this evening that we're fixing while we're at it. So there will be another patch tonight?[/quote] Yep. It's almost live now.
[quote who="Somaed" reply="2" id="2729183"]I want a guardian unit!~[/quote] Me too. Players can get guardian units when their cities upgrade but the odds of getting something that good are like 1 in a zillion.
Driver Date: 3 / 6 / 2008 03 : 58 : 12 Your driver is almost certainly the issue. Go update that and you should be fine.
Minor factions get a guardian unit. Sometimes it's a good guardian. Sometimes, well, rarely, but still, it's a drake. Be careful who you attack. You never know who their guardian is.
[quote who="Kilsonx" reply="6" id="2729107"]Kyro, My computer was doing the same thing but with the Nivida 8600.. Fixed it by downloading the new Drivers from Nivida, set the screen resolution to the same size I set in the game. Went from a hard crash (windows shut down my computer) to playing 200+ turns.. Hope this Helps [/quote] Good info, KilsonX!
