i recently upgraded to windows 8 64bit. when i try to launch elemental from a clean install, i get a 1024X768 window on my desktop. no big deal, ill just change the resolution in game......not so for some reason. in this window, my mouse pointer is locked in the upper left corner of my screen......cant move it....no clue why.....doesnt do that though on my other games. ok no big deal i think, ill just go to my documents>my games>elemental>start config file....

Just thot I'd check in......my performance mid game is good avg 55fps. Late game is still really good 45-55fps. I did turn off outlines, just cause it looks better to me anyway. Ok that's all I got :)

You got it frog dood!!!! renaming the .dll file completely solved my issue. now everything is running at 60fps constant, w/ vsync forced on my system. all town overlay menus are also not dropping my fps to nearly unplayable levels!!! so i can confirm this works on main screens, town screens, cloth map. considering i was at the start of the game pulling 43fps and opening up town screen goin down to about 25fps, right at the very start and now its completely fixed,

nah at start of game, i go down to 25ish fps......close the menu...back to about 45. late game is horrible to, but so is the start. i like to zoom in and out, up and down, side to side with pure speed......it aint pretty right now

there are huge fps drops also when menus are open. for example when choosing what to build on the town screen....fps goes down to about 25.

I think i may have a decent suggestion for the dev team, and if this exists and i over looked it apologize. I think we need a way to disable the water/ocean animations. They are constantly in effect and are eating my fps! [e digicons]:d[/e] Do you think you could in the future you can make it a check box to enable/disable ocean animations?

I agree. I mean even just using the cloth map i still only pull about 50fps....and to have to turn off options just to get this playable is not my first choice. Alot of us should max this game and still have room to spare as far as fps goes....im gonna hope it gets corrected. until then there is gw2 and torchlight 2 :)

Yes win 7 64bit. i7 930 CPU @ 4.4ghz, 12gb ram, gtx 580. Antivirus is Microsoft security essentials.....that's all I run....oh and afterburner. Now when u say your games run amazing.....is that like 1080p and 60fps using FRAPS amazing?

I have a gtx 580 nvidia....latest non beta driver. thx all for the collective effort

just tried the new patch....no difference at all :( created a new game, at start of game 43fps, no outlines, no AA, but had peds and shadows and shaders changed graphics options to no outlines, 4x AA, peds, and shadows and shaders.....and.......43fps..... me thinks no AA to 4x AA should change fps just a little....doesnt seem to be tho. im tired.....gonna have a cookie

pedestrians are like one of my favorite parts of this game.....that shall never get disabled in my games...a slider i guess would be cool....love to see those peeps..... [e digicons]:D[/e]

no i love the game, i just....i want to love it more.....i want perfection! [e digicons]5*[/e] stars overall. im just glad games like this are being made. sorry dood didnt mean to cross the line. [e digicons]:pout:[/e]

hmm well i also have civ 5, runs at about 80 fps.....pretty similar game...i realize they are different engines...but still.....

Hmm we'll guild wars 2 has a lot going on too, lots of peeps with different armor and weapons.......I get 60fps in that game @1080p.......

fps is unacceptable. Always has been since elemental war of magic back in 2010. 60fps constant......is it that hard to achieve?

win 7 64bit i7 cpu 4.4ghz 12gb ram gtx 580 all drivers are up to date. :)

I am having the same problem. FRAPS is only showing 42 fps and that's at the very beginning of the game with only one town. No AA, no Shadows or townspeople. It's not good.

Im sure others have noticed, but fps stability is still an issue it seems. I'm playing on a small map, 8x aa. The zoom level determines when my fps drops to about 20-25. Zooming far out on the main map, just before entering the cloth map is when it tanks......and just like in elemental, its determined more if the camera is centered around a large city. Still an amazing game, but i was hoping for 60fps :) I tried disabling all kinds of features and it

Um hate to break it to you but if you quit after ff7 you missed out on 9 which was one of the best of the series. Also so far I've been pleasantly surprised by 14. It has a very good questing system, and the battle system has been sped up with the new stamina bar.

The game is amazing. I dont know why the graphics get bashed so much from reviewers..... sometimes i just zoom in on my towns to max and watch the little peeps doin there thing. Keep up the great work

I agree. I can safely say this is one of the best games I've ever played. I love the little touches like how your weapons and armor show in game. I also like how you can have mounts and all the different spells and equipment. I think the dynasty system is really, really well done. I'm so glad i got the limited edition now, worth every fricken penny! [e digicons]:thumbsup:[/e] with the dedicated staff and community its potential is limitless

I'm just curious if there is any way to make the magic the gathering style pop up cards to display larger on screen. I use 1920X1080, and they are a bit small for me. Other then changing resolution, i was just wondering if it was possible in the xml to just change dimensions so when you hover the mouse, it will show a bigger card. Any help is appreciated. thanks

Yes. I load up my last saved game, and poor fps. I then exit back to windows, reload, and still exactly the same fps.

Just thot I'd also like to point out some things i found which may or may not help: When first loading the game at the load screen, my fps is like 2200 Also after it loads, and goes to the menu screen its still like insane at 2200, so I would assume the vid card is being accessed. Now after It hits actual in game, bam down to 15-70fps ( yah i know old news) these are all with limit frame rate off If i turn on limit frame rate to 60,
