[quote who="franech" reply="12" id="2724750"]hello, same problem for me, but only 1/2 tactic battle, in the campagn. configuration : Win XP 32 bits, 2GBram, Nvidia 7900 gs with recent drivers. After that the game is very slow. Bye[/quote] Try lowering the game's resolution.
Update via Impulse to the latest version.
[quote who="awuffleablehedgie" reply="13" id="2725001"]also, forgot to ask (I'm on a cell phone connection == very slow internet, so not gonna edit... do not want to know how long it took to download Elemental :/ ) Will our campaigns/saved games be invalidated per patch? Or will they be loading the old XML and using the new kernel? Or is the old XML converted to new XML? Basically... if I have the Ice Spellbook, will I get this new spell? If I have a Sion, will I
[quote who="HobsonA" reply="14" id="2725012"]Why was ice bolt removed?[/quote] It was basically the same as flame dart. We're trying to move away from generic spells.
[quote who="drakkheim" reply="9" id="2724971"]Now that's a nice changelog for 1 day. [/quote] Heh. Day 0. The game isn't officially released until tomorrow. We just don't like to procrastinate. :)
Suggestion: Given your processor, run the game with cloth-map only.
We are looking into it. Thanks to your report, we were able to assemble an XP SP3 + GTX 260 + running at at very high resolution. You can probably get around the issue by lowering your resolution. Basically, the nVidia drivers on XP don't support the unusual memory configuration of that card (900MB). If you ran the game at as 1280x1024 I think it would work.
There are city sieges and there are special units.
Still a bug. We either need to change it in the description OR let them level up.
[quote who="Heavenfall" reply="4" id="2724500"]I can understand that you don't want crap on your forums, but I'm not sure deleting posts is the way to go. Generally, people don't like seeing their efforts go to waste, and if they can't be vocal here, they'll be vocal somewhere else. And there will always be people caught in the cross-fire. Maybe adding a "whine" forum subsection is an idea?[/quote] I'm okay with them being vocal somewhere else. But customers expect
Over the next 72 hours as thousands of people come into the forums looking for help we're looking to keep the signal to noise ratio somewhat under control. If you want to post your impressions (be they positive or negative) do so with a title such as "My impressions of the game" or "This is my review" or something like that. If you have a technical problem of some kind, go to the support forum and try to be as specific with your post title as possible. What we DO NOT w
Ah ok. My bad. the debug.err is listing the 17th instead of the 22nd.
Well for starters, update to the latest version that was put up yesterday.
[quote who="Zorbane" reply="7" id="2723926"] Quoting Mtn_Man, reply 6 Quoting Werewindlefr, reply 5...the reviews will most likely be quite negative... Brad says that he "would be very surprised if the reviews of Elemental are negative". It'll depend on how big the changes are in the Day-0 patch. I can see reviewers having lots of issues with the lack of user feedback and other non-polished areas. <br /
[quote who="LDiCesare" reply="9" id="2723931"] I remember tales from CIV players about starting on 1-square islands... This couldn't happen in Civ IV however (well, on most map scripts anyway) because there's code to look up for a decent landmass to put the player on. Some might manage to get blocked by peaks though.[/quote] By Elemental IV I'm sure such issues will be addressed. :)
What is your anti-aliasing level set to?
The Maps. Are. Randomly Generated. 'The land masses are taken from seed files. We will add a lot more seeds in the coming weeks. And if you really. Really. REALLY want fractically generated land masses, you can go into the maps directory and delete the seed files. I don't recommend it though.
[quote who="Neitherman" reply="8" id="2722525"] Quoting Frogboy, reply 6It randomly generates map, but the continents land masses use seeds. And if you want true fractal randomness, you can delete the seeds but all balance goes out the door. AHH, I see that makes sense from a programmatic stand point.[/quote] Yea, we ultimately decided that the continent formation worked out better if we could start with shapes and then randomize it from there.
Still pretty neat. A lot of flickering though.
[quote who="endofdayz" reply="7" id="2722485"]Game had to be rushed out the door for some reason soo... no race creation [/quote] Don't make me come over there. The beta had faction creation. We decided to remove it and move it into modding where it can get proper treatment. I'm really not in the mood for endless trolling in various thread. Consider yourself warned.
[quote who="VicenteC" reply="129" id="2721778"]I'm sorry but problems with Alt+TAB are only problem of the application trying to Alt+TAB: the game. The DX API may be more or less cryptic (to each its own), but there's quite a lot documentation explaining how Alt+TAB has to be handled if you don't want crashes.[/quote] Unless you're trying to work around other bugs in the graphics drivers. I think / expect players to confirm this: The game was not rushed. Th
That debug is radically different from the others you posted. Are you sure that's the full debug.err?
It randomly generates map, but the continents land masses use seeds. And if you want true fractal randomness, you can delete the seeds but all balance goes out the door.
Need to know more about your rig. Video card and that kind of thing.
Generally, no. We've done a lot of work to make sure that doesn't happen. Even my pre-gold save still works - albeit, with old data inside of it.
