Fistalis

Alright here we go.. default faction units etc. It went Quite awhile without a crash (bout an hour).. the only thing i did different from normal OTHER than default everything is i waited awhile to propose and get a spouse. Few turns after first child was born crash. Coincidence? probably, but i figured it was notable because the game that was crashing alot in U i was pumpin kids out like crazy. Anyway enough speculation heres the dump file im call

Sure thing. Just to note though.. I haven't seen another crash since this one in 1.09V. Where as in 1.09u after the first crash it was like clock work.

Save game to show you.. its like 1 or 2 turns before on the northern edge of my Capital Gildar will place a town inside my influence. http://dl.dropbox.com/u/16692168/Influence%20issue.EleSav Also note none of my children are magic users.

Here we go again. I'll post any and all dumps i get for 1.09v here until i get bored or sick of crashing. With 1.09u i had no crashes til about "mid game" then it continued to crash every 10-15 mins or so.. well see if the issue repeats Heres my first crash dump http://dl.dropbox.com/u/16692168/Elemental1_09v-2010-12-12T20-29-59-171.zip <

Okay noticed my sound drivers were pretty old.. so updated them and tried one more time. the following is the resulting dump file. (no change from what i can tell) http://dl.dropbox.com/u/16692168/Elemental1_09u-2010-12-12T17-39-47-562.zip I'm done playing with U now [e digicons]:grin:[/e] This completes my testing of this version (unless you

[quote who="flymar" reply="4" id="2843861"]I've had similar graphics glitch in tactical. After attack instead of damage numv=bers floating up I've had part of the previous pop-up floating up. No big thing it only appeared once in 130 turns game. My drivers are quite fresh[/quote] I've rarely had black box pop up instead of numbers. Its quite rare as far as i can tell though.

[quote who="Frogboy" reply="119" id="2843629"]I can see what both sides are saying here. What most people on these forums don't realize is that of the active people who play the game, over 97% of users who play Elemental (and are connected to the Internet) are running the last released version because they don't know there is a beta. Only people who have changed the Impulse mode to show betas will know there is a beta. The purpose of this post (as the title

hmm i arranged marriage prior to getting the tech in 1/09u. Maybe the other sov had offered like suggested above.. ill mess around with it in V.. im sick of u for now. The beta patch u.. not you.. lol(crash every 10 mins.. which sucks cause i had like 0 stability issues in 1.09e)

[quote who="Werewindlefr" reply="30" id="2843804"]Agree about the earth shard issue (fixed that in my mod, at least a bit), but the fireball/cube is a matter of taste.[/quote] Ya its a matter of taste which is why I cleared up that particular comment with this one [e digicons]:P[/e] [quote]and of course my firm beliefs in spell lore a la DnD.[/quote]

Good job, work on my stability issues and i'll save my balance rant for 1.2... okay a little taste now.. wtf is up with no earth spells scaling with the number of earth crystals controlled. Fireball is a single target spell.. BLASPHEMY. [e digicons]:grin:[/e] Seriously though its looking good outside of my particular stability issues,some minor balance issues and of course my firm beliefs in spell lore a la DnD.

Naw i can arrange regardless.. maybe only one party requires the tech and the AI already has it? Idk. What I do know I have yet to see any reason to actually research it which was my point.

Fixed an issue that caused stuck turns in tactical combat if an AI sovereign or champion had a bow. Saw this in the changelog for v wanted to note that no one had a bow (maybe the AI champ did have a bow since i never gave her a chance to attack but i can't imagine why she would move next to my units as if she was going to melee if she did)in my tactical turn ending issue. Although it sounds like the same issue. As far as the actual system lock up

And again... [e digicons]*_*[/e] http://dl.dropbox.com/u/16692168/Elemental1_09u-2010-12-12T14-32-52-906.zip I could probably continue this all day.. play for 15 mins crash post dump.. etc.. so let me know if you want more dump files. I will say the gameplay dynamics are much more fun now though [e digicons]:w00t:[/e] EDIT Ser

Does this actually do anything or is it just a space filler. You can arrange marriages prior to discovering it. so...??

And again. Same issue? Idk but heres the new dump so you can tell me. If its the same thing over and over I'll stop posting so let me know. All i know at this point is it happens after 10-15 mins of playing.. same game later saves. http://dl.dropbox.com/u/16692168/Elemental1_09u-2010-12-12T14-00-27-750.zip

Got a CTD but no dump file is created.. is there something i need to turn on to allow these to be created or what? Only thing I can find is a mscvr80.dll error in the event viewer that coincides with the crash. Doubt its any use but here it is. If nothing else maybe it'll point to a problem on my end. Faulting application elemental.exe, version 1.0.9.32, faulting module msvcr80.dll, version 8.0.50727.4053, fault addres

Update on the Tactical combat lock up. It seems that when the enemy leader dies sometimes it won't end their turn.. so im stuck either auto resolving or closing out the game via task manager.

Looks like i'm one of the unlucky few that the betas have made more unstable > Second was at end of turn.. was a complete lock up.. i could alt+tab or Ctrl+alt+del but although the programs would open in the background Elemental stayed on top regardless. Only way to get out was a hard reboot. Not sure how I would even begin to give any useful data in this instance since hitting the

First city I captured running 1.09t resulting in the following city HUD bug. Reloading prior save and retaking city did not reproduce.

[quote who="Nenjin" reply="61" id="2842962"] I haven't been hardcore submitting crash reports but I guess I'll start since you guys seem to be out of them on the systems you're running. But I can count at least three places where I'm seeing it crash repeatedly. Guess I'm going to play some (more) Elemental.[/quote] Ya since were nearing the end of this beta cycle i'm finally downloading a beta patch to look for stability issues myself.

[quote who="Frogboy" reply="49" id="2842892"] I'm trying to look at things from the vantage point of people getting this game for Christmas and what version do we want them to be playing out of the box. v1.09 or v1.1. .[/quote] If 1.1 has addressed so many issues then this seems like a rhetorical question to me. Pump out as many stability fixes as you can and call it a release imho. [quote who="pad152" reply="48" id="2842886"] Is th

[quote who="Frogboy" reply="34" id="2842823"] The options are pretty straight forward: [a] Keep users with v1.09 (October) until January and release v1.1 sometime in January OR [b] Release v1.1 in December and work on v1.2 for a January release. I'd be curious on the consensus. [/quote] I never had any crash issues in 1.09e outside of OOM issues. Based on that My opinion is if feat

[quote who="aeligos" reply="47" id="2842717"]Thank you Mr Paxton. It is posts like these that make me want to just ditch Steam altogether. I have only 2 games in that account anyway...and they're not even all that great. One such game needs work there too, but no where there have I ever read anything so inclusive and insightful like this. Here, however, I am more than just a customer.
