[quote who="John_Hughes" reply="16" id="2589847"] Quoting Tormy-, reply 15 0.299 compared to 0.298 is less stable for me..sadly. Random CTD + lock-ups after ending turns. I've reported these problems already. Tormy- did you try complete uninstall and then bring the whole mess down again? I had that same issue on the previous group of updates. A clean start fixed quite a bit of stuff. Just a thought... [/quote] H

Good for you Frogboy. I am having random lock-ups [I've started 3 games so far -> 1 CTD & 2 lock-ups] after ending turns in 0.299 I had no probs like this in 0.298 Here is the topic btw https://forums.elementalgame.com/379934

I don't know that what's up with 0.299, but in my third game, I had a lock-up again after ending my turn. [I had to kill the game again after CTRL-ALT-DEL] Weird stuff, because I had no problems like this in 0.298 [e digicons]o_O[/e] Debug.err: http://pastebin.com/TCXAJqKM

[quote who="texashopkins" reply="7" id="2589448"]Unfortunately the new build seems less stable than the last.. i cant get more than a few turns without it crashing. [/quote] Hm...I couldn't build a 4th city so far, because I started 2 games with the new build [0.299], in the first I had a CTD, in the second I had a lock-up after ending a turn. Something is surely not right...I never had CTD or lock-up after ending a turn in the previous b

This time it wasn't a CTD, but a lock-up/freeze, so I had to kill the process after CTRL-ALT-DEL. This means that no dump file was generated. Debug.err: http://pastebin.com/DEWEqXtT

[quote who="Frogboy" reply="8" id="2589447"] You are beating a dead horse. It's time to move on. [/quote] Agreed, the decision has been made already, as we all know it. So there is no need to argue anymore. Like I've said, the modders will make a local resources mod anyways. :)

*Update #2 * debug.err after the failed "load saved game" attempt: http://pastebin.com/GqDeEtA8 It's full with error messages like: Debug Message: Kingdom of Tarth Tried to Adjust Invalid Ability: A_Invent Debug Message: Kingdom of Tarth Tried to Adjust Invalid Ability: Debug Message: Kingdom of Pariden Tried to Adjust Invalid Ability: Debug Message: Kingdom of Pariden Tried to Adjust

[quote who="Frogboy" reply="19" id="2588765"]Looks like there's ANOTHER update. Half the issues we're running into have to do with getting all the new data files properly checked in. [/quote] Nice! :)

Same here, but again...I think that the vast majority of the players would vote for global, so I guess we will have to mod in local resources when the game will be released. Nothing will stop us! :)

Are you sure that it is/was your Sov? Because it has 50 HP...:) If it's your old Sov...well what can I say....weird bug for sure! [e digicons]:(O[/e]

Yeah, I've seen many glitches like these, I am pretty sure that the devs know about these, since all you need is 2 eyes to spot the gfx glitches. :D Btw, on a sorta related note: Some resource tiles are being placed on impassable terrain. Like a mine in the hills, or I had something placed in the ocean as well..I just forgot that which resource was that one...

[quote who="RikazeMA" reply="25" id="2588998"]Is there anything we, as Beta Testers, can/should do towards the end of finding out why Saved Games won't load? I didn't see anything about that specific issue... [/quote] Yep, this is a serious problem still...sometime loading a saved game won't work...in fact I had a save [I've uploaded that one, because it was related to a CTD report], which simply refuses to load. I've tried to reload 5 times in a row...no luck. <p

[quote who="Roguedeus" reply="3" id="2588833"]FIXED Disable dual monitor mode... Use only main monitor. Works fine now. [/quote] Well, I am pretty sure that the devs will fix this. :)

I've reported something similar. My game crashed, when I was trying to build my fourth city near an iron mine, but this was before the minor update...so today, I'm gonna test this again.

Awesome. This is what I call fast bugfixing. :)

[quote who="Frogboy" reply="2" id="2589044"]This weekend's update is just to fix some of the more egregious issues. Next week will be our first real stability update. [/quote] Nice. The 1Z stability is still far from being perfect, however it's much better compared to the older versions. I will try to find new CTDs & lock ups today, because I know that you lads love to fix these! :P[e digicons];)[/e]

*Update* I saved the game right before I attacked the enemy army...but now I cannot load the saved game at all, because Elemental locks up / freezes. [I've tried to reload 5 times so far...] Here is the saved game, hope it helps: http://www.sendspace.com/file/tlh7ll

I've attacked an enemy army. Right after the fight, I've seen the combat results screen, and when I wanted to continue -> CTD Dump file: http://www.sendspace.com/file/eevizw

[quote who="Raven X" reply="1" id="2588612"]Downloaded, installed, crashed once so far.....locked up once so far....restarted my Comp since I didn't do that after the updated install, haven't crashed again since. Still undecided on stability though, will know more tonight. [/quote] I only had lockups, when I was trying to load saved games. [IE. I had to kill the game manually after CTRL-ALT-DEL] Weird...it looks like absolutely random. Sometime I can load the saved game, som

[quote who="MagicwillNZ" reply="5" id="2588630"] Luckily, in my opinion, there isn't a whole lot more to do to make the game ready for Beta 2. [/quote] Everything should be fixed before we move on. That will take some time I guess.

Definitely not. Many CTDs + other problems have been reported already, and the list will grow...
