For the record, Kadrium was right to call me out. [e digicons]O:)[/e] I was trying to suggest a temporary workaround, but I worded it poorly and made various assumptions - most notably, that he'd know I appreciated it was a real problem and was planning to do something about it! Longbows are a pretty neat weapon. There's a reason Robin Hood and his men used them; they're cheap and effective.
Yes, you should be able to save and load games. Play-by-email is not supported; only the host can save and load the game.
You don't know what you don't know! That's why it's called "research." ;p
I'm sorry, but Steam's combustion-based delivery system is incompatible with our magnetoplasmadynamic technology.
Without regards to anything else in this post, be aware that DirectX also requires a specific flag to be passed when creating effects above the 2GB boundary. If it is not passed, and happens to be given an allocation above 2Gb, bad things are liable to happen. Don't say we didn't warn you. :-) We've been aware of the possibility of going beyond the 2GB limit for some time, especially given the number of Win7 x64 boxes which are out there now - but the focus has been on getting the act
You might, but I don't! Besides, I've written it up already. Read these: http://en.wikifur.com/wiki/WikiFur:Moving_hosts http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg01632.html http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikia#Controversy Basically, the cost of "free" can be high. Sometimes it's too high.
I could tell you a long, long story about Wikia. I was involved with them before most of their staff. Things have changed a lot since I started my first wiki there, and I can no longer recommend them for most people.
[quote who="Tiberonmagnus" reply="10" id="2729058"]I think you all suffer from a bad case of dracophilia. [/quote] Hey now, there's nothing wrong with human-dragon hybrids. Some of my best friends are scalies! :)
It sounds like your video card might be overheating. Check that you have the latest drivers from NVIDIA, clean out your PC (physically blow the dust off the card and its fan, make sure all the grilles are clear). Failing that, try adjusting the graphics card fan settings with something like RivaTuner (after reading how) to increase the fan speed. My 8800 would do the same until I tweaked the fan to go a little higher, especially on load.
Sounds like it's not detecting the game properly. Tried hitting "Detect Application" in the blue Impulse menu and selecting the game and the directory?
I've linked this wiki from the Wikipedia article: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elemental:_War_of_Magic If you see a way to improve that article as well, please do - just remember to provide references!
Technically we published both games. Elemental is the only one that was self-developed. Just goes to show how much credit (and blame) the publisher gets.
If everyone who was going to buy Civ V bought Elemental first, I think we'd be quite happy with that. [e digicons]O:)[/e]
Using coupons is a great idea! We're fine with however people wish to legally buy our game, as long as they use the money saved to buy expansion packs a year down the road. [e digicons]B)[/e]
Yes, that is what I mean. As for the map editor, it likely shared many of the issues we fixed since beta4, but if you notice any errors in the current build, please report them - preferably with links to save games and/or crash dumps! It also helps if you can say "doing this adds 5Mb" - Task Manager can often help, set it to show the "Commit Size" column under "View" in the processes tab.
We thought all prior alt-tab issues were fixed, but the change to fix a graphics memory leak also caused a recurrence of that issue on some ATI cards on Win7 x64. We have one of the game's lead graphics developers on the task of fixing it. For now, running in windowed mode (which will fill the screen if you set it to the screen resolution) may help. If not, set autosave to every turn and sit tight for a couple of days.
Pre-order processing should be completed within the next five hours. Apologies for the delay, but it's probably for the best - we have enough people flooding the servers anyway (the download speeds are excellent, but it'd be nice to keep it that way).

When not breaking things, I've been fleshing out the Wikipedia article on Elemental.
[quote who="Mogmoogle" reply="20" id="2717929"]I do have to disagree about the part about wanting to play Civ 5, its been the same game for the last 2 decades they improved the graphics great, but a veteran spear-man can still take out a Abrams tank . . .[/quote] What's wrong with that? A veteran spear-unit could well beat a tank if they knew exactly where to poke it.
We're aware of this issue and this potential workaround. Obviously we hope to not require 2Gb in the first place, but there is always the potential for leaks and memory fragmentation. We want to make long game testing easier, especially as we get close to release. You cannot easily make a version that will work properly with Large Address Aware enabled, due to DirectX textures being limited to below the 2Gb mark by default. The good news is, we probably can. I've been
Looks like an error in the title for the popup dialog - we've been getting that one a lot. Thanks for the report!
