We fixed a lot of sound-related issues in battles in 1.07. Can you post a fresh debug.err file so we can see if it's having issues elsewhere?

In order to speed up access to the UI and model textures, the game merges multiple ones together into one large texture map. The setting determines the maximum size of that map. How large you can go depends on the allowed texture size and VRAM on your video card, but bigger settings may give a minor performance increase. It defaults to the lowest for compatibility reasons.

[quote]All factions have their own color please show those colors on the map just like GC2 not yellow, green, and red. I want to see how others are expanding and go not like clicking in to every single town to know who owns it.[/quote] Turn off smart player colors in the options.

Are you using ati tray tools or any other apps that override refresh rates?

Let's not with the politics, guys. There are plenty of other forums for that.

Turn the cloth map zoom slider down from 100 to 70-80, and it should switch as you zoom in and out.

It should be loading the XML right after that line, so it's possible something got broken in the rollback. Give a fresh reinstall off Impulse a shot.

If there was a dump zip created in [b]C:\ProgramData\Stardock\Elemental - War of Magic[/b] ([b]C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Stardock\Elemental - War of Magic[/b] on Windows XP), please post it via [link="http://www.drop.io"]drop.io[/link].

Barring dev feedback post-weekend, if you're not using any mods (if you are, try getting rid of them), go ahead and give a fresh reinstall a shot if you can.

It's hard to say just what's going on as the debug doesn't seem to indicate much aside from a few alt-tabs followed by an exit. What point exactly is it hanging at now?

Some items have race/gender requirements based on the model, which we do need to convey better or get rid of.

Please open your debug.err file in notepad, and link the contents into a post here via [link="http://pastebin.ca"]pastebin[/link]. This will give us some technical information that can help troubleshoot your problem. The file can be found in [b]My Documents\My Games\Elemental[/b] Be sure to copy the debug [b]immediately after the error occurs[/b]; if you start the game again, the debug log will be erased and recreated for the new session.

If you have a reliable repro case, by all means please do upload it to drop.io and link it.

Is this under 1.07? Creature leveling was adjusted so this shouldn't be happening.

Was this on alt-tab or midgame?

I'm not sure how the launcher could be failing to open in play mode then, but it's probably not worth the effort--if you make a shortcut straight to the game's exe, you should be able to just run it directly.

[quote]This issue has actually been around for me since release, but I am running the 1.07 patch right now.[/quote] Are you still seeing it now? We changed unit selection in tactical to use the bounding boxes, so it should be easier to hit them.

If this persists through a save/load, please post the save to drop.io and link it here so the devs can test on that particular case to improve ZOC drawing.

Are you running any other 3D programs at the same time? You might also try setting the game to fullscreen=0 in the prefs.ini file located at My Douments\My Games\Elemental.
