Thank you everyone for your support and good wishes. I'll miss being a daily part of Stardock but my little girl is definitely worth it. Also, MM77: my husband, CantinaFly, asserts that he is the Monarch For Life of the Carielf Fan Club but that you may retain your post of President. (He really got a kick out of that post.)

Server problem UPDATE: It's a problem with the DNS, and it should be fixed shortly. Edit: We've got the problem on our end fixed but it could up to an hour (possibly more) for upstream DNS servers to get the change.

We're able to access the login server internally, but some people who are not inside the Stardock network are having issues logging in, so we're attempting to track down the issue.

The login server? I was able to login.

There are spells that revive the land, they're called Birth Of Summer (Kingdom) and Bloom of Twilight (Fallen). They're level 5 Earth spells.

I can't reproduce this crash from the save games that VRBones and stevelamperti sent in. Do your version screens say 0.90? The crash dumps seem to match up with the build we made yesterday, but the crash is in the same location as a crash I fixed at least a week ago. You guys can verify this crash from your save games, right? It doesn't just happen with new games? Also, is anyone getting this crash with a fresh install?

[quote who="Mortenart" reply="12" id="3067715"]More specific how it feels worse - well, it feels even more cartoony than WoM - the colours are way too lurid. But maybe I'm just disapointed because it's not much better. I'm sorry, but in 2012 I cannot believe that having a different coloured tunic to trousers is an insurmountable problem.[/quote] It's not an insurmountable problem. As I said, a game developer has to make a lot of decisions about graphic

[quote who="Mortenart" reply="7" id="3067279"]Character creation - why can't you choose a colour for each piece of clothing? Why does it seem worse than WoM? [/quote] Every color means another render pass, which decreases performance, especially on lower end machines, or else more memory used. It's just one of the many decisions a game developer has to make on thousands of details to try and make the game perform well and yet look great. Yo

It also shows the grain and materials in the terrain window, if you enable that in the options screen.

If they're still moving in the same tile, it sounds like you're not clicking far enough out of the tile. Have you turned the grid on? If you download Jing, you can show us exactly what you mean with a screenshot.

[quote who="Vhorthex" reply="94" id="3063329"]With all due respect, are we living in an ADHD-only universe where if something takes longer than a few seconds it's deemed to be too long? I mean I'm so fed up of hearing people at SD using 'wait time' or 'tac battle length' as a argument against MP. It's almost infuriating![/quote] I'm not using it as a justification against multiplayer. I'm saying that just on top of making the entire g

You may want to just wait a few minutes before trying to login again after a crash, because if you crash you aren't being logged out and it can take a few minutes for your login to expire. We may just need to adjust that time.

[quote who="Luke_strider" reply="87" id="3060449"]When they are talking about having to rewrite TC for MP, they are not talking about re-designing it. As you say, from a end-user perspective all the rules and such _should_ be exactly the same as playing the NPC. The problem is that the *underlying code* is not set up to handle multiplayer and would need to be gutted. This is what takes a lot of time.[/quote] This is true. Also, the turn can't advance while

Quicksave is CTRL+S

The texture atlas is texture pack that's generated from the UI textures so that they can be loaded into memory more quickly and helps reduce texture swapping. By increasing the size of the texture atlas, you could further reduce texture swapping, if your video card supports textures that large. If you don't know how large textures your video card supports it's probably best not to play with that setting.

Do a search for that dll on your system and see if it's in any other folder other than the system32 folder. If it is, Windows could be using that copy (and it may be the wrong one), and delete it.

The update is up, but it's showing up as 1.2d in Impulse.

I also bake, which increases my cuteness score. :) Especially when I bring in my Irish Car Bomb cupcakes to the office.

Maybe it won't be as amusing to you guys as it was to me, but it made me laugh. :) [1:35:38 PM] CrazyC0330 : i love how when you use the cheat to kill a unit, they do their death animation instead of just disappearing from the map. makes it so much more satisfying [1:35:51 PM] cari_elf: bloodthirsty much?

Hi, I fixed this bug earlier this week and QA is testing an internal update.

Thanks, I was able to reproduce and fix the problem for the next update.

I haven't been able to reproduce any problems with trading, equipping or unequipping items. If you are able to follow a certain set of steps with a save game to reproduce any of these issues, please post your save game with step by step instructions on how to reproduce the bug. This would help us to fix the problem sooner.

I think that I've fixed the bugs related to capturing the city: the improvements should now auto-upgrade and the environment should now update correctly in the next update. Regarding the equipment problems: 1) If you have a unit selected in the unit list for an army or a city when you hit Visit Shop, they will be the first unit shown in the list, regardless of if they are the sovereign or the leader of the army. This is working as designed. 2) The difficulty

[quote who="Alstein" reply="2" id="2917911"]One question re: Gamestop and Impulse. Will you still have control over when you patch? So if you wanted to patch the game at 2am like you did one time, or on a Saturday or Sunday, would you still be able to do that? [/quote] I don't have an official answer, but putting up updates at 2 AM or on weekends is generally not desired behavior. We're trying to avoid situations that necessitate that sort of

Joasoze, are you having the problem with the 'file failed to download' problem also, or is your problem the update dialog coming up? If it's the problem with failing to download the data file, please follow the steps I gave NEoWolfen and e-mail me your log files at carielf at stardock.com
