Took a break after that last crash.. decided to fire it back up about 5 pm and start a new game... Welp today is becoming a crash fest.. wasn't gonna worry about the occasional crash but its becoming more and more frequent. 5 pm maybe 10 turns in http://dl.dropbox.com/u/16692168/Elemental1_1-2010-12-15T16-57-55-359.zip 6:30ish
[quote who="calmon" reply="2" id="2847231"]Hmm for me it never works to start Elemental from behind proxy. If I shift+tab i can't login.Without shif+tab i get an error message saying something about firewall blocks, etc. Impulse itself works fine using proxy. Do i need to set impulse to offline mode to get it work?[/quote] Elemental doesn't require an internet connection to play. Unless your running a beta patch.
It has impulse built in so it tries to connect to impulse. Similar to steam only you don't need to actually connect (or set it to offline mode) to play. Its for all the nifty shift+tab functions. Not a big deal either way.. you can block it or allow it without any noticeable difference(other than a slightly longer loading time you pointed out) in single player games. Unless you hop in the chat room or care about achievements then blocking it would prevent that.
[quote who="Sanati" reply="4" id="2846607"]All my custom Sovs and factions were automatically deleted when I updated from 1.09w to 1.10. So, ya...[/quote] Ya it deleted those but left mods.. [e digicons] Mine was a minor xml mod so i had no issues with deleting it but I can understand why they chose to not have them delete those. If it makes you feel anybetter i get about triple the number and frequency of crashes in 1.1 i did in 1.09e. &
ya I see that issue on occasion and have reported it through out the beta phase of 1.1. Easy fix is go to the city info screen click the rename button and leave the name as is(or change it if you want). hit accept or ok or w.e button there is and poof its fixed. Its a workaround til they decide to get around to fixing it.
they were there back in 1.09. They just tend to get wiped out fast so unless you start close to them you usually don't get a chance to meet them
Sure your sick of hearing from me by now.. but heres another about an hour and a half later http://dl.dropbox.com/u/16692168/Elemental1_1-2010-12-15T01-46-30-62.zip just discovered forts, and i think a city leveled because i heard the crazy sound it makes when it rebuilds all your houses to villas right before/as it crashed.
I knew i'd see one eventually just didn't think it would be so soon. http://dl.dropbox.com/u/16692168/Elemental1_1-2010-12-15T00-13-01-859.zip have a good break over christmas and come back fresh and figure out wtf it is lol In all seriousness it was a pretty random crash but Figured i'd give ya the data anyway.
[quote who="Panda_Power" reply="59" id="2846238"] This just seems to be a walkthru of getting to turn 1 or 2. It's after that where people like me are getting a bit lost.[/quote] Don't worry panda.. us beta testers will hold your hand and help you figure out the totally redesigned dynamics since we've had so much time to do so in between crashes [e digicons]:grin:[/e]
[quote who="Lord Xia" reply="13" id="2846268"]Tip: Don't kick a dead skunk.[/quote] Or a live one for that matter...
[quote who="Frogboy" reply="8" id="2846228"] Feel free to tip.[/quote] Here's your tip. Don't eat yellow snow.
[quote who="Frogboy" reply="5" id="2846091"]YES. We want people to buy it at retail. [/quote] Shoulda told me that before i bought the box/digital combo through impulse.. i woulda ordered it via amazon or something [e digicons]:P[/e] Oh wait.. i did it to beat the oct 31 deadline nvm
It won't require internet connection to play [e digicons]:rofl:[/e]
Maybe your confusing the statistics. For instance a 90% chance to hit doesn't mean that 9 out of 10 swings will hit. It simply means each swing has a 90% chance of hitting. Its neither impossible nor improbable to see 2 or so misses even with a 90% hit probability. To explain in a little more abstract way. Flipping a coin means you have a 50% chance of getting heads each time.. it doesn't mean that 1 out of every 2 flips you will actually get heads.
It applies to those who are going from 1.09e to 1.1 as well. Which is why I posted it. Many of those who decided not to beta test will be far less familiar with this issue since its been a LONG while since an official patch went out. [e digicons]:grin:[/e] Unless of course impulse does this on its own.. then delete this post as its just wasting space.
Changed my double post in order to try to make this clear to people.. Would be great if it were made clear in the changelog posts or made a sticky here though.. then you can delete it. Or if something I posted is incorrect feel free to modify it.
[quote who="Murteas" reply="37" id="2845934"]One suggestion: Make sure you make it very clear, that people have to delete old data (i.e. saves, sovereigns, units, factions, mods) otherwise you are going to be flooded with people having problems after the release. Please people, be proactive, delete all your old data and start a new game. [/quote] THIS x100 Last thing i want
[quote who="Big David" reply="22" id="2845911"]Where are the update notes now? The link at the beginning of this thread no longer works.[/quote] its still there.. i had the same issue and had to manually find the page. Too much traffic from the link or frogboy rewrote it or something IDK.
[quote who="jmccrea" reply="31" id="2845907"]Have we been testing the gold change as of yet? Im not sure why it keeps getting reduced, but in my games I struggle for gold so Im concerened by the newest drop of it. [/quote] Its based on population.. in my experience once you build up one or 2 large pop towns you pretty much have no issues with gold. Before you build up population there can be an issue.. but its easily remedied by the Alchemy line of spells (convert
[quote who="Frogboy" reply="53" id="2845788"] Quoting Dual_CoRed, reply 41What is the point of this thread? The game looks exactly the same as it did on release. What am I missing here???????? The purpose of this thread is to help people who are NEW to the game entirely have an understanding of the basics of the game. If you want to know what's in v1.1 over the previous version, you'll need to look at the change log.[/quote] I think his major
[quote who="kapeman" reply="17" id="2845887"] Maybe I should just ditch the VERY interesting game I have going and start over after the 1.1 update. Oh, well. That's what I get for being a beta tester! Small price to pay! [/quote] I've been ditching games everytime there's a new beta patch (read daily) lol
[quote who="Redwind85" reply="18" id="2845840"]werid i just update my gqame -.- thought it was this patch -.- instead my game is now 1.09e ????? woot? and there are no other patches `? - i have clicked check for betas but huh?[/quote] Betas are no longer available. 1.1 isnt live quite yet but is supposed to be sometime today.
[quote quoting="post"] It says update available when I go into game but the Impulse program will not show an update as avilable(I have show beta versions checked). I have always been able to update before. But now it's not working. Even when I hit refresh. Any ideas? I wanted to test out the new build here. [/quote] Beta versions are no longer available since 1.1 is being released today.
[quote who="davidjc_af" reply="4" id="2845882"]Ok how do I download 1.09w? It is not showing up in launcher like all the previous beta versions. Any ideas?[/quote] Beta versions have been removed from download options since 1.1 is being released today.
Other than that 1.1 looks great.. [e digicons]:grin:[/e]
