I was able to start it up after the third try. A race condition/timing issue might explain the apparent randomness. Thanks.

First time trying to launch the game after the update. I saw the initial splash screen for a moment and then it crashed. Debug.err
That did the trick. Thanks! [e digicons]|-)[/e]
I just recently updated Ready to Play via Impulse. When I click the "Run" button from within Impulse, I get a Windows error message stating "Ready To Play has stopped working. Windows is checking for a solution to the problem...". The same thing happens if I attempt to launch it from the shortcut in my Start menu. I'm running Windows 7 Ultimate (x64). Any suggestions?
Was that a coupon for Norton? Surprised to see that in the box considering Microsoft's MSE product. [e digicons]^_^[/e]
[quote who="Zargon0225" reply="15" id="2399499"] Did you install Elemental after Ready to Play? Zargon [/quote] Yes, I installed Elemental after Ready to Play. Does the order matter?
It might be nice to have the following: Ready: Looking to play a game, available for chat, included in other player searches Available: Not actively looking to play a game, available for chat (convince me to play), not included in other player searches Unavailable: Not actively looking to play a game, not available for chat, not included in other player searches I'd like to have a status type that allows me to chat with my gaming buddies, but
Fullscreen. The crash seems to happen about 25% of time, but I can't find a way to predictably replicate it. I'll try the bypass setting you mentioned and see if that helps at all. Thanks.
I like the concept of caravans traveling between your towns, generating extra revenue, etc. I also like the idea of an enemy being able to sit in the middle of one of your trade routes in order to hamstring your economy. What I'm not a fan of is the silly level 2 spiders attacking my caravans on every turn . It seems a bit tedious. Perhaps there could be an option to have them retreat/fight automatically so I don't get prompted over and over.
After killing the last enemy Sovereign, I advanced to the next turn and was greeted with the "Victory - Conquest" banner. I clicked the banner and the game crashed. Debug.err
I saw the Elemental splash screen, then briefly saw the "Brave Adventurer" screen before the game window disappeared. Debug.err
Game crashed while deleting a couple Kingdom Huts in my starting city. Debug.err / DxDiag.txt
[quote who="Dunnar" reply="66" id="2393334"]I like the idea of getting a choice before the battle ensues. Either you flee to the nearest city and lose your entire entourage, or you engage in battle. You cannot flee if you are alone. [/quote] Hmm...after thinking about this a little more, it seems too easy to exploit. Run around with one additional weak unit in your army and any time you get engaged, it's a free teleport back home.

Looks like Demigod was autofound for me, but Elemental was not. Is this due to the "beta" status of Elemental?
Are you included in other player's searches for both status types? Can players chat with you in either status type?
What's the difference between the "Ready" and "Available" status types? Also, is there a status type that allows your friends to chat with you, but also indicates that you are not available to play a game?
What a tease...I want to know the results of the bee experiment! Favorite quote, "Now this is gonna hurt...I won't lie to ya".
I want to know more about the bee experiment!!
[quote who="PunningPundit" reply="4" id="2384138"]So far I havne't found any of my friends. This is because I don't know their Stardock usernames. Heck, I barely know _my_ stardock username. I'd strongly recomend adding a "add by Email" fuction. Additionally, if there was some way I could tell stardock to peek at my gmail contact list and add/invite the people on it, that would make it really easy to populate my "ready to play" list.

[quote quoting="post"]Don’t take my word for it though, if anyone who has Ready to Play wants to comment here, go for it.[/quote] Is there a forum or post for "Ready to Play" comments/bugs/suggestions? I just installed it...didn't play around with it too much, but noticed that I don't have any recommended friends yet. After I choose a game, I just see "Searching..." in the "Choose Friends" screen. Could be a firewall issue...or maybe I'm just *that
I haven't been able to test the new version yet. Where are the replays stored?
