The downloaded EXE is a self-extracting 7z archive that'll run/extract and kick off the actual setup program. If it's hanging during the self-extraction, check for an anti-virus app specifically scanning it. Because it has "setup" in the filename, Windows 7/Vista will automatically request elevation for the self-extractor (which will carry over to when the setup.exe starts). File size for beta1 is 2,453,096,484 bytes and the md5 checksum is 4c4055c6d1bb738344f6b73b37

Malleus, did you register the boxed copy under another email address? I've updated the account you are posting under to show the beta, though I would appreciate it if you could email [email protected] the WOM serial you are using. Beta1 was made available today for customers who had pre-ordered before the release of WOM directly from Stardock/Impulse. " The beta release will go in two phases. January 19 will be to everyone who pre-ordered WOM. A week later will be everyone

All the PAX pre-orders should now have the beta on their account. https://store.stardock.com/myaccount/products Kris

Barring anything unexpected, tomorrow (Feb 10). Kris

The screenshots are in Documents\My Games\Elemental\Screenshots. Do you always see it (on every screen or only main map)? At different resolutions? Could you post the top bit of your debug.err from that Elemental dir above that has your driver information?

What spells were you using? What's your intelligence score? What are the stats on the monsters you were attacking?

Thank you, solidsmooky. We'll look into that one, but it won't be in the 1.07 hotfix that was just published (which fixed up some abilities for custom sovereigns).

It's not happening tonight. Hopefully earlier in the afternoon on Thursday. Good progress in testing against the fixes for the DirectX errors when alt-tabbing. Still working on some new cosmetic things from those fixes and a crash related to audio. Plus what's already set/fixed for the update.

This was corrected internally and should be set for the 1.07 update. ty.

Targeting having the 1.07 update out tonight, EST. Will post when it's available, no point in keeping looking every 30 min or the like until then.

Please note that any 1.06's patched with the above are going to start complaining on September 1st about an invalid patch being detected. I will see if we can't make 1.07 not complain about this when it's released Wednesday or Thursday (of this week). Kris

The encoding on the file got messed up(ANSI vs Unicode). It'll be fixed in the next update.

harpo, is that proxy at your ISP or something you are running? If its local to you, what’s it running?

We tried to maintain compatibility with the pre-1.06 save games, but some people were still having trouble. We are trying to keep that invalidation of previous saves to a minimum, but it didn't work out this time.

We tried to maintain compatibility with the pre-1.06 save games, but some people were still having trouble. The refreshed 1.06 tonight will not load prior saves. We are trying to keep that invalidation of previous saves to a minimum, but it didn't work out this time.

You've got a bunch of games under that account, but the Elemental order was flagged for sales to check. Please contact [email protected] to inquire further about the status there. It's quite possible it's the Beijing bit being sensitive.

We had hoped to retain compatibility (albeit with a warning). That didn't work out for some people, so we had to force all the previous ones to not load. The goal is to avoid that in the future.

The registration is on your account. If you're not seeing the game when you logon to Impulse, did you logon with another account than Drockmar? You can use the Detect Application option under the Impulse drop-down menu to point it at the directory where the game is installed and force it back into Impulse.

It's an error relating to the adding to Windows Games Explorer code. Did you have a previous beta installed? Was that beta uninstalled through Impulse or wiped manually? As you said, click through it, game will run fine.

It was an unintended side effect of turning off the beta access. It'll be fixed either later tonight or tomorrow morning and you'll be able to get the LE if you had a registration on your account from the beta already.

I expect it's debug log files in the ImpulseReactor subdirectory off that location. Please go ahead and remove it. It gets recreated on load. Kris

More clarification: is it working properly in XP, but not in the other dual-boot OS? What's the other OS?

You will need to have Show pre-release checked in Impulse under the preferences to be able to download the beta.
