We were able to get the lockups to reproduce on our test machines and jump in to see what was causing it. The issue has been resolved and we'll have the fix in the next update. Thank you for submitting your saved games, that helped us out a lot.
larienna, Your video drivers for your Intel 945 Express are dated 2/15/2008. Please check Intel's site or your Netbook manufacturer's website to see if there are updated versions of the driver.
Malsqueek, Please post your save game to a file-hosting site such as paste bin ( http://www.pastebin.ca/upload.php - for saved games, use the FileBin section at the bottom) Then post the link they give you to the file here on the forums. We'd be happy to look at your saved game, especially since the problem happens consistently. Thanks in advance.
The issue has been resolved. I've just gone back and forth from the menu in regular mode, and cloth-map only mode. I'll pass it along to QA and it should be in the next update. Thank you for reporting it and providing helpful steps to reproduce it.
I've reproduced the issue, and am working on a fix.
The changes I made only affected if you had the "cloth map mode" option on. From the reports I saw before, that seemed to be the only time it happened. I'll take another look at it using mlapierre's repro steps.
This bug has been fixed internally. The coming hotfix will include this fix.
Redwind85, Please locate the following folder and delete the contents: C:\ProgramData\Stardock\Elemental - War of Magic\Screens Then restart Elemental. This will cause Elemental to regenerate its screen data, which it doesn't seem to have installed correctly. Please let us know if you still have the problem after trying that. Thanks, -- CodeCritter
You can build on any resource that is in your territory. Once you build a city up next to it, the fence around the city will adjust to go around the resource as well. You are still getting the benefit from the resource if it's not connected to a city. Once it's connected to the city, your city will be able to protect it using the units stationed in the city and any city wall bonuses you might have. Also, if the city has any bonuses to food, your apiary would produc
Dear flymar, I have loaded your saved game using our internal build. I hit the turn button after it finishes loading, and I do not get any crash. I've tried hitting turn a few more times too, but am unable to get a crash. Are there any other steps I should take after loading your save, or does just hitting the Turn button after loading it crash it for you? In your save, Varga's faction is already destroyed. Do you still have a save from before h
Dear Havoc1128, Could you please provide a screenshot that shows the screen where you see this bonus? Also, if you could send us your saved game, that would help us to identify the problem. Also, were you playing with any mods? Thank you in advance. -codecritter
If you are unable to start the game, and are using an ATI card, please try closing the ATI Catalyst Control Center ( it runs in the Windows system tray in the task bar). Some users have been unable to start the game when this program is running, but closing the ATI tray tools allows them to start Elemental.
Aganerral is correct. We wanted the children to grow up faster so you can use them as a hero sooner.
Good story Marty. [e digicons]:D[/e] I like the references to various foods and things.
ArcaneBoozery, your video drivers are dated Feb 2009, please try updating them and see if that helps.
I'm glad to hear most people are seeing a performance boost with ver 1.07. Rest assured, we will continue to work on making performance better. Also, in 1.07, we added an option under the Video tab for disabling the outlines around objects. For those whose framerates are still lower than expected, this option may give you the boost you need.
Thank you for reporting this. I have reproduced the problem here, and I'm going to take a look at this.
Thank you for reporting this. We have identified the source of the crash. You will get the crash if you give your sovereign one of the following abilities: brilliant, meditative, and/or merchant. We are testing a build with the fix internally, and will be will be releasing a hotfix as soon as possible. In the meantime, if you don't use any of those three abilities, you won't get the crash.
Temparr, Your video drivers are a few months old ( Apr 6, 2010 ). Please update to the newest driver. Some people have had issues starting up the game when the ATI Catalyst Control Center (ATI tray tools) was running. Please try closing that if updating the drivers does not help the problem.
If you have updated to the version 1.06 update, your previous saves from the older versions will no longer be compatible. We apologize for the inconvenience, and while we usually try to make save game versions compatible across updates, unfortunately, the fixes in this update were unable to be made backward-compatible. If you start and new game and save it, it will be able to load in version 1.06.
Filthgrinder, what resolution are you running the game at? Does it respond better at a different resolution? If it will not let you enter the game, you can try editing your prefs.ini file in notepad. This file can be found in /Documents/My Games/Elemental/ There is a part near the top for resolution: [Video] DisplayWidth=1024 DisplayHeight=768 Try adjusting this to your screen's resolution. Perhaps with it resetting your prefs, it
Please check your "Tactical Battle Threshold" option. The new update resets your preferences when it installs (which will not happen with future updates). Change it to 0 if you want every battle to bring up the attack window where you can choose to auto-resolve or do a tactical battle.
Is that debug.err from when you had the white screen or when it was working?
Hi Aeron Istari. The problem where the screen goes white has been addressed, and we are testing it internally right now. The fix should also fix the crazy texture corruption you're seeing. For status on the upcoming update, please see this thread: https://forums.elementalgame.com/393126 We'll take a look at that other crash you're getting too.
That looks awesome! Great work!
