beta 3b is gonna be the best thing since cinnabon rolls and a microwave [e digicons]:grin:[/e] wish there was an easier way to gather mana crystals [e digicons]O:)[/e]

the only solution is to disable it. i tried decelerating it one click at a time, and at no acceleration it went into a new game but lagged out. then one click from full acceleration wouldn't even get into the main menu like before. since this audio is used by alot of people, i hope its fixed soon. (or at least before final release)

i had been playing a game that had some issues with quests (i.e. having to escort a noblewoman to a house that didnt exist) and after loading the world, an error message came up saying "nv4_disp display driver failure" i have not tried to get in since, thinking this is either important for you guys or me, either way i care and need to post it. heres the debug file: http://pastebin.ca/1899830 i looked through and noticed

how did those other people add the debug file to there reply post? that seemed like a good idea (neither dropbox nor pastebin works for me [e digicons]:annoyed:[/e] )

its nice to have a big battle now and again, but really it shouldnt be a priority. pretty easy to use but strategical/tactical combat mechanics are key. i have Age of Wonders, and i could win a tactical battle against almost insane odds (where i would have surely lost if i had done an auto-resolve). but even so, the base of the combat wasn't hard at all, not usually too many troops, and not having to control too many aspects to keep things going smoothly. My hopes for elemental a

when all else fails i guess. i'd like it to be fixed in either beta3b or at least worked out by beta 4, so thats why i really wanted them to know. i think they know, im just making sure. TACTICAL COMBAT cant wait.

tactical battles... it just sounds... right. [e digicons]\o/[/e] definitely can't wait to see my once-rather-useless magic rip them apart. Though i won't be able to hear it since my sound driver screws up the beta... so i can't hear the amazing music you guys have put on there

I got the beta a few days ago, and it wasn't working. It would freeze at the splash screen and barely make it to the menu if i pressed alt-tab or ctrl-alt-delete. it was totally unplayable. So I went through and started deleting unneccesary things, and it still didn't work. So i went into bios and totally disabled the Sound driver thats on the AI series ASUS A8V 'deluxe' motherboard and it worked farely perfectly. after starting a few new games, it's for sure working (thou

Another thing that adds to the strategy [e digicons]:thumbsup:[/e] good work. (though I probobaly won't mod until after the release, if at all)

i want to get into this beta so bad but i just can't figure out whats wrong [e digicons]:'([/e] no one seems to know. i am SOOO glad to hear about the tactical combat, that was exactly what i was hoping for! PS. if anyone thinks they can take some time to help me, i posted in the forums https://forums.elementalgame.com/387097

Thanks, that fixed the hero/map graphics problem, though the map terrain's graphics still can't seem to load, its a step in the right direction! There was alot at the top of the debug file so i'll put these and if you need the one on sound i can post that too- DirectX Version: DirectX 9.0c (4.09.0000.0904) <span style="font-size: xx-small

Edit: i have windows XP

I pre-order and got the beta a couple days ago so please tell me if i'm missing something important. When i start the Elemental Beta, the game hangs at the splash screen and main menu. sometimes i can get into a New Game veeery slowly, but then i can't see the Hero i chose, the background animation or the map. The hanging and slowness in itself makes the beta unplayable. i have nVidia Geforce 6800 GT with updated drivers. My Firewall is turned completely off. C:\Documents and

i preordered yesterday and it hasnt worked yet [e digicons]:'([/e] it hangs at the splash screen, and if i ever get to the main menu it's suuuper slow and glitchy, not even playable. no idea what's wrong. i hoped the update would fix it but... nada

i like the idea with pre-made maps with certain locations, randomization for the rest. [e digicons]:thumbsup:[/e] OK, retreat should be an option, but just have each of the retreating units have a % of dying while fleeing (enemy unit type/number should contribute to the %) that seems the easiest, least complicated thing to do while still making retreat realistic and reasonably usable. A good way to cap a battle is not to give a set # of turns, but only allow, say 8 or 9 '

hope this fixes my beta >. tactical battles is AT LEAST half the fun. that better be polished to perfection... pwease? [e digicons]:pout:[/e]

hope update's soon. my beta runs so slow its not even funny, and the ONE time i got to get it to generate a world- error, automatic kickout. im really stumped >. my only consolation is that i have the limited edition to look forward to [e digicons]:pout:[/e]

similar for me, i pre-ordered the game today, and it hangs at the screen with the green crystal. it wouldn't move so i ctrl-alt-delete'd and after awhile it would slowly show the main menu. at this point it will occasionally veeery slowly let me click options or new game. i never got any farther than the options and the game setup after clicking new game. My drivers are updated, Firewall is turned off. still not working I have Nvidia Geforce 6800 GT Edit: i checked the

aw i didnt win [e digicons]:'([/e] i guess i'll just hafta get the limited edition when it comes out [e digicons]:thumbsup:[/e]

its a good idea. i love fantasy books (belgariad w00t) and im interested to see how this will turn out. way to go frog!

[quote who="Wintersong" reply="17" id="2549147"] Quoting Malleus_magician, reply 16 will the beta 2 be available for people who didnt pre order? (wanted some feedback first) No preorder = no beta access. Edit: preorder from Impulse*. Just in case someone decides to preorder in a Gamestop or whatever and then finds that that is not the way to get into the beta. * you will be charged once you get the beta access. Just in cas

will the beta 2 be available for people who didnt pre order? (wanted some feedback first)

i agree both, but it would be nice to have more than just 2 races. it doesnt need to be as many as MoM but more than just factions of good vs evil. i would add maybe something usually good like elves and something evil like orcs or trolls (along that line of species) [e digicons]:thumbsup:[/e] glad someone brought this up
