I finally got the forum search feature to work and could plow through the issues other people had. There are a some threads on similar problems. https://forums.elementalgame.com/395677 https://forums.elementalgame.com/391849 https://forums.elementalgame.com/392309 Some suggestions were:<
Where else can I turn to for help? I'm kind of hoping that I'm not the only one with this problem. If so, there's probably little hope I'll be able to play the game. :( To reiterate the steps I've taken to try to correct the problem: 1. Reinstalled the game 2. Installed new drivers for my graphics card 3. Verified that the installation is correct using Impulse 4. Removed the Screens folder before starting up the game. 5. Experimen

I also saw some funny settings (some very small screenOffsetX or similar) in prefs.ini, but I'm not at my computer atm, so I can't check those. I'll add

I can't seem to dismiss the first campaign cut scene. I've tried most of the obvious keys (esc, space - which triggers the next turn it seems), pressing mouse buttons, etc. Also a lot of my menus look really weird with plain black text on top of what ever was there before. A lot of them also don't work. For instance, exit game pops up an icon on top of the options menu (this looks really bad) and two text fields. If I press "no" the exit "menu" disappears, but I can't p
