Are you running beta 1.09q? I had regular CTD pre 1.08 - (and the first beta 1.09n) -however I have no stability issues at all with the later beta version - using 1.09q at the moment ahas been stable as a rock. Have you got software running on both computers that may be a contributing factor? e.g., AVG (sucks arse).
Verified this - happened to me also. Just one extra step after the 11mb "update" to 1.09e switch back on "show pre-release" to get access toi 1.09o
Incredible Shrinking borders I noticed that after I loaded a saved game my border of influence had shrunk. When I saved the game my cities were joined and the resources were being mined. A few hour later I loaded my latest saved game and now my border are not touching by a long distance and the resources I was previously mining were lost to me. Quite an annoying bug.
Love reading this sort of thing. I have been writing games for 25 years but nothing this big and so it is really nice to see how the experts do stuff. Thanks for sharing.
The ipad absolutely rocks. It is the most fun I have had with new hardware since i got my 286 in 1992. It has changed computing in our household. We play games on it. We useit to quickly look up information using atomic browser. Youtube is a favourite. I use it read novels (about 10 so far) I also use it for all the text books we have. However we also use it to control the HTPC connected to our plasma screen. Ihave one app that I can use to wake up the computer.
No, 64bit Windows will run 32 bit applications no problem. I use Windows 7 64bit and elemental has been very stable for me since 1.06.
I think that is when you cast teleport using a hero in your stack other than the sovereign (with sovereign also in the stack).
Congrats with Product #2. One child is great, two children is super. Not sure about three haven't got there yet. BTW Don't expect #2 to be anything like #1. Which makes the sequel (baby 2) even more fun.
Bellack nice try at trolling. Doctor Who is a classic.
I disagree. Every 10 turns? I think you are a very small minority. From 1.06 onwards the crashes have dropped significantly. On my system I can play for a few hours before I have crash to desktop. Annoying but not too much of a major. I am banking on Civ V next week. And then in a few months Elemental will be the game it was supposed to be.
Really appreciate your attitude towards this game. Love the fact that this game is only going to get better and better.
The middle button on my mouse works 100% fine - except in elemental. Using Control - Arrow keys is too slow and bothersome to pan around an object. Also the zoom function using mouse wheel is still poked. It takes a few rolls of the finger to get any movement out of the camera. These are pretty basic UI standards - I can't see why they have been implemented so poorly.
Is there anything particular about your computer? How much RAM do you have? I have 3GB on a windows 7 64 bit and I can easily go 100 turns before I have a (unexplained) crash to desktop.
I certainly appreciate the candour and openness that you are displaying with your product. I am a software developer so I know how nasty the public can be. Your willingness to stick with the product is the main reason I am sticking with Elemental. I have played 6 games so far, and only last night have I managed a win. My overall feeling is that this is a diamond in the rough. The patches that you are putting out are great and the work you are talking about doing is exciting. All the best to y
Clicking middle button does not work on my machine. Windows 7 64 bit. Zoom is also haphazard. Why not provide a keyboard equivalent, e.g. SHIFT
v 1.06 - mouse scroll works badly. Like other people have said multiple spins to make it zoom. My mouse wheel does not have issues in other games/apps. Also click mouse wheel and moving the mouse does not rotate the view. I don't see how this could be an issue. As a programmer I have never encountered an issue with mousewheel before.
I have same issue. Update gets to 4.52MB and gets stuck. cancelled a few times no go. Can we get the patches somewhere else? I am in NZ so not aussie like teh post above,.
