Did you have ALL of your units inside towns? If so this has been reported and I expect a fix will be soon. The work around is to make sure at least 1 unit is always out of your towns. If that's not your issue I'm sure someone more knowledgeable will be along shortly. Hope this helps.
If you installed via CD then upgraded you may want to check: https://forums.elementalgame.com/392266 If you installed entirely via impulse (which was the solution to the issue) you may want to check https://forums.elementalgame.com/391297 which walks you through troubleshooting and uploading your debug.err Hope this helps.
[quote who="Frogboy" reply="4" id="2729578"]This is probably a brute force solution but try uninstalling and purely reinstalling from Impulse.[/quote] That works! Thank you! Uninstalling and installing solely via Impulse actually lets me build a settlement. FWIW the new downloaded version is 1.05.016 and not the 1.05.014 or even earlier version I previously upgraded with. Odd that it worked with no patches, but not after patching. Enough of this "talk".

[quote who="kryo" reply="8" id="2730857"]The ProgramData folder is one made by windows, it'll use that location for temporary stuff regardless where the game is installed.[/quote] Doh! "Program Data" vs "Program Files". I must have failed my [-4:40 modified] reading comprehension roll. Sorry. :-)

Odd that the CD version works, but not after updating to 1.05. Perhaps a hard coded file path
Thank you. I will uninstall and install solely via impulse (and hope to play tomorrow). Curse my slow internet connection. Thanks. PS> Aren't you supposed to be sleeping? [e classic]:lol:[/e]
UPDATE: To check against a corrupted install I uninstalled [Including "My Documents\My Games\Elemental"] then did a fresh install via CD and did NOT have crashes when founding a city. Updated via Impulse to 1.05 and again the game crashes when founding a city. Any suggestions?
Thank you for your response but memtest [easier for me to run at boot via GRUB] looks fine after 1 pass, and I really think a memory error would be a bit more [pun] random [/pun] than only when founding a city. Is there a cut-scene or screen change when founding a city; I'm guessing it's a video issue but after updating my drivers I'm not sure what else to check. Edit: FWIW opening cut-scene works find and "Cloth Map Only" option does not stop the CTD when founding a city.
Issue: Whenever attempting to found a city complete I get a crash to desktop. Installed from CD [was not in beta], then used Stardock to upgrade to 1.05. Repeatable crash [100% over ~8 tries] and occurs in in both full-screen & windowed modes, random and campaign modes, with and multiple starting characters. Updated graphics drivers (Nvidia 9800GT with Vista 32) and restarted but still can't get past founding a city in either campaign or random. Debug.err -
[quote who="endofdayz" reply="9" id="2722574"]They just got lazy and needed to push it out the door.[/quote] 60 spells sounds great to start, although I too like the idea of more 'differencing' between different elemental/shard schools of effect [water vs fire vs air vs earth]. I'm sure there will be other features that didn't make base that we wish had [as in other games] - perhaps some even due to their attempt to push
