raven, I agree with you which is WHY I posted this question AND pmed kyro asking what they want me to do and giving all order numbers and shipping addresses. harpo

according to my records, I had only ordered ONE copy, and as a business person I feel that they need to know about a possible SNAFU between the distribution centres, as each shipment came from a different distribution centre. harpo

I have just tis minute received my SECOND order # of elemental with different order numbers, but I had ordered a standard & later upgraded to LE the first was on order 233933(print date 08/26/2010 ship 08/31/2010), the second on order 234983(print date09/03/2010 ship 09/03/10). to the best of my memory I had ordered th std edition disc & download, then later upgraded to the LE, but do not remember what the order numbers were and did NOT order the LE twice. harp

started a new game with new custom sov & elemterra1.2 generated map played to turn 500, had just created fourth town,free ram just before using map cheat was approx 600MB, decided to use show map cheat, during crash was 16mb, immediate OOM crash in debug err last 1311 lines ALL read 'DebugMessage: Unallocated Mem: 1404 bytes of memory from line 222 of E:\Elemental\Kumquat3D\Source\AStarManager.cpp', note I DO have a E:, but elemental is installed on C:\ in the default location

tridus, you are correct, the problem IS the distributor, not the chains, not the distant shipping (that you do not have, and the europeans also have), unfortunatly this sort of behavoiur will either help to kill PC gaming in australia, OR kill PC game distribution within australia, and with australians being both lazy(and doing their best to do the minimum posible ( and a lot of us like to think up ways of reducing effort while still getting the results that we want) I think it might be the d

von, I am like dalamor in that I pre-ordered from stardock and have MY LE on my computer bench (at us$69.95+us$10 shipping, but I also have ordered a copy through jb hifi (and paid au$49.95), but they are getting the run around from the distributor (all interactive) who initially told jb hifi that it would be released on the '19th of august' and on the 19/8 they said that they were in 'stocktake' and would be able to release after the 'stocktake' and checked again( and jb had been tol

a simpler way would be to SHARE the dvd drive on your network, then map the shared drive through your network & just run the installer from the shared drive. harpo

and to help others that want the 1.1 here is my dropbox link http://dl.dropbox.com/u/8023186/elemental%20tools%20mirrors/Elementerra_1_1.zip harpo

angelobraz, my ship date according to the customs documentation was the 31st of august, and stardock had replied to my query with the 31st as the ship date. and my scheduled date was the 24th, with the print date of the 26th and received on the 7th of september across the dateline. harpo

thank you kyro. harpo

Yet another CTD involving the cartographers table this time I loaded elemental, opened the cartographers table,loaded the map I wanted to make a thumbnail for made thumbnail, saved map overwriting old version, then went to start a sandbox game with the map had CTD before I could select the map. zip created, added d

and another CTD involving the cartographers table attempting to work on two maps per start of elemental this time I loaded elemental opened the cartographers table, loaded one of the maps that I have that does not have a thumbnail image, created thumbnail for map, then loaded another map had CTD zip created, added dxdiag </

loaded elemental in primary development comp, opened cartographers table loaded map, saved image of map, saved with overwrite of map exited cartographers, then opened cartographers to work on a different map had CTD comp is winxp 32 4gb ddr2 800 amd athlon x2 5200+ geforce 7600gs. zip created added dxdiag harpo

after revceiving the LE box I checked the contents, (all parts present BTW), then just for the hell of it I also checked the rego key in impulse & the rego key in the disc slip, BUT both keys do not have anything in common, and my rego key is from the beta2 when I ordered the standard, but later upgraded to LE, could this be the cause? harpo

my only issue with dropbox is that they do not give the info about downloads from the files uploaded, otherwise it is excellent. harpo

just this minute received my copy of the LE in australia. harpo edit, just acouple of quick questions, did anybody else notice the sheduled ship date & time? and how the actual ship date & time varied?

the mapgenerator works for me, have generated two maps and played in xp32 1.07.25 for over 400 turns, just have to remember NOT to use the see map cheat. harpo

I would prefer to see the minor's behave more like majors, and the memory leaks FIXED, back in b4 one of my computers was able to play 250 turns to oom , but in 1.07.25 only got 130 turns to OOM on the same map and number of empires/kingdoms with the same view map cheat. harpo

started a new game on my fairburn comp(winxp 32bit 4gb ddr2 athlon x2 6000+ geforce 8800gt), that in the beta4 state routinely got 250+ turns before OOM, played with all map view cheat(same as beta 4) played to oom on turn 130 oom created <a title="oom fairburn 1.07.25 turn 130" href="http://dl.dropbox.com/u/8023186/elemental%20crashes/E

updated elemental on my b3 box (i7 930 oc 4ghz 6gb ddr3 ati5850) loaded, and started new game on huge map with custom sov ram use at start was higher than in 1.06(was approx 800mb first turn with show map cheat) 1.07.25 used 1.2gb ram with show map cheat on first turn, played 120 turns to oom SINGLE town no caravans (typical oom point with 1.06 was approx 100 turns at oom crash<a title="oom w764 1.07.25" href="http://dl.dropbox.com/u/8023186/elemental%20crashes/Elemental1_07-2

I also find the performance better, BUT the memory leaks seem to be getting bigger, just had my first game on 1.07 on huge map with my favourite custom sov,same setup as my last game in 1.06 which got to turn ~200, the 1.07 got to turn 145, but it was faster to play on my win xp sp3 32bit with nvidea 7600gs & 4gb ddr2. harpo

galaad, I was told my order was shipped on the 31st only one day before yours, was also told the same info regards shipping time & tracking, and like you I also did not receive any emails about the shipping. harpo

updated to 1.07started new game on huge map with custom sov that was created with 1.06 played to turn 145 two cities one caravan(note similar game, same map & sov on same computer on 1.06 got to turn 200 before OOM) zip file was correctly created, added saves & dxdiag harpo

deposit files reports that all download slots to australia are in use. WTF harpo

and you think you have delays, I am in australia, we have not even got the book yet, nor the stores with the small version, and the le is not going to be available in retail, and yes I did read the posts/threads about europe/uk not getting any except by import, are we aussies any better off? harpo
