[quote who="thebigJ_A" reply="200" id="2733666"]I'll ask this. Have you guys reproduced this over there at SD? From what I've read here, the game doesn't use the GPU at all unless you set affinity, and even then, it's only using a portion. So it seems to me, who admittedly has little specific understanding of such things, that for some reason the CPU is doing all of the graphics calculations, or most of them w/ affinity set. How does that happen for some of us, but not all? What's different a

Once this is fixed the game will be nigh-perfect :D Still having the occasional random CTD....but I'm wagering that will stop once the 64-bit version is released Keep up the good work stardock

Another patch already? Seriously....you guys over at stardock are the best. Less than a day after 1.05 and you've already got another fix out? I want to marry all of you and have your babies.

[quote who="Sherekhaan" reply="107" id="2728770"] Quoting InquisitorFelix, reply 101 Roll on my next day off.... I hear this....East coast aussie here...12:39....waiting for this patch is KILLING ME It's not killing me, but it sure is killing my mouse when I click on check for updates every 10 seconds.[/quote]that too

[quote who="Panda_Power" reply="90" id="2728709"]I wonder when it will get to the Asia-Pacific or Australian mirrors? Here it's August 25th at 10:27 in the morning, so I'm 12 hours ahead of EST and you lucky guys in the west are gonna get the update before me. My shift starts at 1:30pm so I'm hoping to at least get in a good hour's play before I have to go to work! Roll on my next day off.... [/quote]I hear this....East coast aussie here...12:39....waiting for this patch is KILLING

If it's this bad waiting for an Elemental patch...I can only imagine the withdrawal symptoms I'm going to have while I watch every second count down on my virtual clock for the release of Galciv3 :D

Might I also suggest adding a few AAR's? Well written After action reports certainly seem to get "new" players attention and can be a fun way to learn the gameplay features without staring straight at key commands-ect. I for one got into Elemental when I started reading the AAR about king roland that was posted up not too long ago. It was informative and helped me know what i was doing (indeed even helped me discern stuff not directly mentioned too) early on. &n

[quote who="Droog" reply="1" id="2726364"]One Faction get settlements cheaper, but as all settlements i build are free I dont see the point. Also the game has gotten way too easy compared tot he beta, have u noticed?[/quote]lol easy? I'm playing on standard and within the first 50 turns had abotu 8 lvl 9 drakes milling around my lands attacking and killing just about everything I built/trained.....dunno bout you, but the 600 turns I've struggled with them haven't been what I'd

I have the same issue....I've collected numerous Midnight stones, and both the Workshop quest and old enchanter guy quest don't seem to do anything. I just get the same "If you bring me 3 midnight stones, I will forge you a powerful blade" text....despite having 3+ in my inventory. Any suggestions?

I'm having the exact same problem...though it MAY be a 64-bit issue. I guess wait until the actual day-0 patch and see how that works

[quote who="Filthgrinder" reply="3" id="2726263"]The crashing stopped for me when I turned off auto save, however after the release version/patch I am no longer crashing with it on. Maybe deactivating it will help you? Stardock wanted me to reproduce a crash with it on, but I can't. Oh, are you on a 64bit OS? Because that is not supported yet.[/quote]yeah running 64-bit. I had figured that would have been an "issue" but not on the magnitud

This is a known bug. Just remember for now that the "hotspot" is to the top left of the "X" and not in the middle

[quote who="joasoze" reply="1" id="2726042"]There will be a 0 day patch soon (today or tomorrow). Hope this will help you [/quote]haha yeah I hope so too. I was more posting this just as some more info for the devs to help isolate the problem :D

So yeah, I'm loving this absolute masterpeice of a game....I can see myself not sleeping and devoting more time than is healthy playing it...however. I appear to have gotten just about 90% of the issues posted on this board present in my game. City huds displaying incorrectly, terrible performance, CONSANT crashing (every 1-2 turns), missing units, alt-tab crash, unit boxes dissapering ect. My main concern is the frequent crashing. It's sporadic and unpr

Same problem here....though still got crappy performance to boot.... I wish I had your willpower, frustrating as it is...I find myself restarting the game every 5 minutes after a crash, cursing a few times then enjoying the minute and a half I get before I repeat... I do hope these issues get fixed soon though....I can only imagine how much more enjoyable the game will be minus these hiccups.

[quote who="joasoze" reply="3" id="2725829"]There is a setting saying what "size" a battle needs to be to go tactical. Check your option settings. I dont have the possibility to check for you right now, but I am pretty sure its there.[/quote]Pretty sure the option is called "Tactical Threshold" or something.

Lots of random crashes for me too....makes sure i can't play for longer than 1-3 turns before ctd-ing....happening more frequently after the 1.01 patch and it wasn't happening when I first started....appears to have gotten worse over time. I have about 30 crash zips (maybe more) but these are just a few...should be enough to see if there's a common link or something I guess. <a href="http://dl.dropbox.com/u/10480022/Elemental1_00-2010-08-23T20-44-

[quote who="delijoe79" reply="46" id="2725733"]No that's not the day 0 version. I did see a small increase in performance but still the game begins to chug when viewing cities as soon as it gets reasonably big...[/quote]Hmm could ave sworn it said "Day-0" version but could have mis-read....I remember them saying the Day 0 version would bring performance updates ect, and the patch notes from earlier said alot of the same things, so maybe that's why I got confused.

[quote who="Lord KiRon" reply="2" id="2723343"]Same issue on NVIDIA , getting "DX error loading" or something like that, not happens every time although. [/quote]I get this too....I've already posted a good dozen crash zips on another thread :D lol

[quote who="delijoe79" reply="42" id="2725697"]Frogboy said that tomorrow's day 0 release should have major performance improvements, so hopefully we'll see that...[/quote]was that not the patch that got deployed about an hour or so ago? I got an update via impulse that improved performance for about 2 minutes....and that's about all EDIT: Come to think of it...I had two units of 8 drath warriors before the patch....and only one when I loaded afte

This is a list of some of the crash zips I have so far: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/10480022/Elemental1_00-2010-08-23T20-44-18-377.zip http://dl.dropbox.com/u/10480022/Elemental1_00-2010-08-23T21-31-18-491.zip <a href="http://dl.dropbox.com/u/10480022/Elemental1_00-2010-08-23T23-08-2
