Sounds like clicking on it is treating it as a potion. That sounds like a bug. But what you're supposed to do with it, next time, is to go to the items shop and sell it there.

I see this too. Got this same symptom the first two times I tried to load a .806 saved game, then the third time it loaded ok.

I'm seeing it with .806 at 1900x1200, and I've never seen it in any previous beta.

Are you talking about the zoom in to city development mode? I use this all the time and have never seen this problem. Do you have any screen shots?

Debug Message: - Ending Turn 55 - Debug Message: Current Memory Usage: 1565282 KB As is usual with the OoM crashes, I got a 0 length zip dump file and a .dmp file with the same name. I've zipped the .dmp file into the zip. debug.err is here. dump file is here.

[quote]Did this happen after you researched Harvesting?[/quote] Yes, it did.

[quote]How do you run the game in windowed mode?[/quote] Either go to the options menu in the game, graphics options, uncheck fullscreen, and exit the game. Then restart the game. Or edit the prefs.ini file in the Documents\My Games\Elemental directory, and change the Fullscreen=1 line to Fullscreen=0. Then start the game.

A possible minor correction to the OP. I think maximum mana points equal the caster's essence, not his wisdom.

There was a bug (I'm not sure if it's been fixed or not) where if you hired an NPC that was in a stack with other NPCs, it would only tell you the cost of one of them, but if you said yes to that, it would hire all of them and charge you for all of them, possibly sending your treasury negative. Could that have been your problem?

[quote]Well, I guess dropbox won't let me embed an image. [/quote] Works fine for me. Copy the image file into your Dropbox Public folder, wait for it to upload so that the little check mark on the icon turns green, right click on the file, open the Dropbox selection and click on "Copy public link". Then, back in this forum, where you're composing your post, click on the icon that looks like a picture of a tree, and it will open up a window where you can paste the Dropbox

I think you can only disembark a ship at a beach (or maybe a harbor). Are you at a beach?

[quote]I've read in another post here that, if you wait two or three minutes before pressing "Load," it doesn't freeze. It's worked for me.[/quote] I wish it was working for me too, but unfortunately it's not.

[quote]I'd say it's worse actually, the lack of a freeze makes you think it might not be screwed, false hope sucks[/quote] Good point!

If you check out Brad's development journals you'll see that there's no AI yet. He's working on it.

I've seen this also. Marginally better than a freeze. [e digicons]:grin:[/e]

[quote]I'm guessing that you are cloning your desktop?[/quote] Yes, I am. I normally run with the lid closed, using only the external monitor, which is probably why I hadn't noticed this before.

I've been unable to load any saved games, even if I wait for 10 minutes or more.

[quote]I finally went ahead and put the game in window mode (unchecked the FullScreen check box..) and I have not had ONE crash since.[/quote] Unfortunately, I've been playing .805 in windowed mode since I installed it, and have experienced many crashes. So while I hope it helps many of the rest of you, it's not a panacea.

I had noted this and commented on it in another thread. The arcane weapon spell seems to take effect, but does not show in the enchantment window. The spell also seems to expire after some number of turns, while the arcane armor does not, or at least lasts longer (game crashed before I could determine whether it did expire).

[quote]Pub, Did you have the lumber mill build icon?[/quote] No, I did not. The old growth forest tile was well away from my city, and I was hoping that I could use a pioneer to harvest it, but as I said the game crashed before I could do so. So this very well could be bugged.

As far as the lumber mill goes, I think it was changed in beta 3 so that it can only be built on an old growth forest tile. So far I've only seen one of these old growth forest tiles, and the game crashed before I could build on it. [e digicons]:annoyed:[/e]

I haven't tried a custom sovereign or faction in .805, but today when I've had all the failures loading a saved game I've been playing as one of the provided Fallen sovereigns.

I am playing in windowed mode. Closing the lid does turn off the laptop monitor, while leaving the external monitor active. So maybe that is causing the problem. Still seems like a bug, though.

By the way, I continued playing for quite some time after this, and got no more of the tutorial dialogs. Maybe the AI had hired Janusk because it needed the tutorial worse than I did? [e digicons]:grin:[/e]

I've been unable to load any saved game in .805. Either I get the loop like you describe here, or I get a crash.
