I'm using 8800GT running drivers 197.45 via Windows 7 auto update. I get no corruption with all settings turned on.
It would be nice to see some kind of particle effects in relation to availability. Off the top of my head, something like green/red sparklies/aura to signify a location's availability to the current unit. No sparklies if it's already been explored. Blue sparklies for quests underway.

I have no idea on it's suitability for gaming but i'm waiting on it myself and hoping it lives up to the hype.

[/quote] I've only just begun testing the game but this is what immediately hit me about city building. There is no requirement to plan ahead and commit to a long term pla
I fixed this by running Elemental.exe as admin under Windows 7.
