the 1.1 patch has the multithreaded AI in it, the 1.09 and earlier had a singlethreaded ai, so it would be reasonable to assume that the multithreaded ai needs faster access to the ram as the game engine, the ai threads, the windows, AND the integrated video are all demanding access in a timely manner to the ram, and the integrated video is TAKING half the possible access time, so a pciexpress video card even down around the geforce 7600 area would double the responsiv

from reading your dxdiag report, I think your problems are 1 integrated video(no 3d capability AND slows ram access)was intended for word processing and spreadsheets, NOT games 2 minimum ram for gaming especially tbs & rts both types want at least 2gb FOR THE GAME plus 512mb+ for the windows fixes 1 obtain a 3d video card of atleast geforce 8600 or ati 5750 2 add at least 1gb ram, preferably 2gb even though the windows does not support 4gb ram avail

[quote who="Istari" reply="188" id="2856353"] Why must you turn my office into a house of LIES!?!? Take your sleezy filth to the 1.2 wishlist corner, and prostitute it there! Otherwise, submit something a little more nonsensible. For example: 1. ACTUAL dunnies that you can explore with 10^-13 sized or fatter tactical crap. 2. Actual fandom generation of nose-hair clippings, NOT synthetic or virtual reproductions. <

please update your ati display drivers, as they are over eighteen months old here is a link www.ati.com harpo

ozzy, regarding firewalls (prefer free) on xp 32bit I use old zonealarm free, for later windows & 64bit I tend to use comodo firewall free, both with other antivirus programs eg avast & avira, but I have found that nod is one that has had to be rescued a few times from virii as has amost if not all of the other commerical and free antvirii programs. harpo

no, but it might be the point, as a army of bandits is still an army, and with multithreaded ai, it is processing in the background, back in 1.09 and earlier it was singlethreaded with a little extra threading for sound and animation(by obersvation of core usage in a quadcore hyperthreaded system. harpo

and my rediculous requests are actually from the elemental case and NOT in the game 1. ACTUAL dungeons that you can explore like a triplesized or larger tactical map 2. actual random generation of worlds, NOT premade maps 3.options to allow tactical battles i

frog, the system is similar to my b3(i7 930 oc 4ghz,gigabyte ga x58a ud3r, 12gb ddr3 2ghz @1.83ghz, shaphire ati 5850) box except for the brands of mobo & video, and also the amount of ram, the only reason I do not play more is the customer requests for me to attend the customer's premises to fix problems in their computers. and I agree it is a very nice system harpo

had the same happen to me TWICE on my dev machine - the noise with the 1.1c, did not have it happen with 1.1 harpo

taskforce, sorry but no machineguns or hotrods in the game, but you could edit a custom sov or unit to increase it's stratigic movement/combat movement/strenght/dexterity/constitution and add a bow to get a similar effect. harpo

nor to me, but it does suggest an issue either with multithreaded ai and a faction dieing, had you killed an enemy sov in hostile (to it) territory? harpo

dustin, in the dxdiag on the display tab there are three line boxes, look in the one labeled Drivers and reply with the version and date please, and for your info the latest ati driver is the 10.12 which is dated december 2010. it might help. harpo

he might be lucky and be able to squease in some time on it in about 3 to 4 years, and then get more time later. harpo

1.10 is the current version, but the crashes were a lot more frequent back in the 1.01-1.05 time. if you want to find out the last thing done in elemental then look at the debug.err(in your my docs/my games/elemental folder) in notepad after a crash, AND BEFORE you start elemental again, and look at the last few lines, this will give you an idea as to what might be causing the problem harpo

you can get all this info from dxdiag, just click on the 'start' button, then click on run (or win7&vshita,click into the text box at the bottom of the menu) type dxdiag and press enter harpo

please answer these questions 1 what video card? 2 what version of vieo drivers? 3 what version of directx (and date) harpo

played a game on my b3 system(i7930 oc4ghz 12gb ddr3 2ghz@1830mhz ati5850 w7 64bit ultimate)played till turn 226 had ctd(ram use was only 1.26gb at crash) zip created, added saves and folders. turning the game I had attacked altar and was attacking one of their towns with my supersov & one kid(attack st

yes the smoke WAS a LOT thicker (more frequent crashes), but it is steadily thinning with each patch, but it is still thick enough to irritate most people harpo

the majority of the crashes are crashes with interactions between windows, drivers, memory leaks, and occasionally bsd re-boots, the majority of the crashes have been the memory leak issues which the developers are the only ones that can fix which is why they have not responded to them even though (I am told) that the crash report has been read & downloaded. regarding the forum search issue, do you have java installed? the search uses the google search engine which from th

[quote who="FatNonFree" reply="3" id="2855139"]What is Destiny's Ember DLC?[/quote] it is the dlc for those of us that bought the book and entered the code into the website and this is what is in it at present from the desity's embers details page harpo Elemental: Destiny’s Embers Character Pack (Xander, Geni, Nym, Ambrose, Calis) Now available as an additional download via your <a href

just try a shift rightmouse 'verify installation'on the destiny's embers in impulse, and re download. the 1.1 update deleted all files in the units folder, which is where the characters were stored harpo

it does attempt to connect to a network, bu should time out after approx 3 minutes, had the same problem with a software firewall and the game in full screen. it is because of the integrated internet chat/gaming/downloading harpo

just played the campaign, when into shop just after the town had placed it's influence area, was able to buy travelling boots & a staff, so I think it is NOT normal, it might be a good idea to open your impulse & SHIFT VERIFY installation on elemental, BUT the 'my inventory' tab in the shop SHOULD be empty as this is the excess stuff that has been picked up, but is not equiped at present, note the starting weapons & clothes are never in the my inventory harpo <p

you have not mentioned your catalyst version, the current is 10.12, and I do not have the issue on either my 4850 or 5850 systems and have seen it with older ati drivers. harpo

what about the poisonshot ability of the blackwidow spiders for ideas? harpo
