I'm having trouble downloading. :( It keeps retrying after downloading a couple of hundred kB.

Thank you for listing the items you are still working on at the bottom of the post. It is great to have this info. :)

I think that in this beta we basically just have the tech for the Amarians so I guess that is why some things are showing up but not actually functioning.

I thought I had the same issue. Then I realised that my money was in the negative. It costs .2 gold to keep the familiar so it was disappearing because I couldn't support it. There should definitely be some sort of feedback about this in game.

Map types would have been turned off in this Beta. Each Beta has a specific focus they want us to give feedback on and so many areas outside the focus area are switched off.

If a resource is adjacent to your city you can build on it. If not you need to first build a pioneer, send it to the resource, then use the pioneer to build on the resource. Need to make sure you have the correct amount of resources to build because at this stage there is no meaningful feedback on what resources are missing when you send a pioneer.

CodeCritter posted a work-around here... https://forums.elementalgame.com/388125/page/1/#2685300 Basically, rename c:/program files/stardock games/elemental/gfx/fx/fxo/post_bloom.fxo. Turn advanced lighting off.

I had a party of archers in a tactical battle. As it fired the game crashed. http://dl.dropbox.com/u/9163563/debug02.zip http://dl.dropbox.com/u/9163563/DxDiag.txt

I had tried to load a save game and got a blue screen followed by a complete system reboot. http://dl.dropbox.com/u/9163563/debug.zip http://dl.dropbox.com/u/9163563/DxDiag.txt

Working for me now. :)

It appears all the posts have disappeared. Is it still OK to post bugs etc?

Brad has posted addressing many of these issues. :) https://forums.elementalgame.com/388211

[quote who="CodeCritter" reply="3" id="2685300"]VR_IronMana, For the non-advanced lighting issue with the random texture overlay after going to kingdom screen: Please try deleting (or renaming so you have a back-up) the following file in your elemental folder: c:/program files/stardock games/elemental/gfx/fx/fxo/post_bloom.fxo Then restart Elemental. Does that fix the random texture overlay issue for you? I am still looki

[quote who="smakemupagus" reply="5" id="2685301"] ...Here, in no particular order, are some of my favorite features from other tactical combat games that i think could be implemented in Elemental * Age of Wonders: The whole system was pretty good -- in particular, I liked the way that the turn was broken up so that you could either attack 3 times, move a lot and not attack, or move a little and attack once or twice * Heroes 3/5; King's Bounty: Obviously

Here is my system info... http://dl.dropbox.com/u/9163563/DxDiag.txt

Don't seem to be able to use spells in tactical battles but if I auto-resolve (because of the graphics issues) I notice that my Sovereign is zapping the baddies all over the shop.

Was only playing for a few turns where I noticed things just got slower and slower. Within a short period of time each frame was taking a few seconds to render. The cloth map had stopped working on zoom out. Map items started to disappear. Zoomed out again and everything was fog.

Went to the Rats quest main intro screen when you first get the quest and the game froze. Music still playing and cursor still working. Buttons don't work. Can't escape or alt-tab. Means a complete system restart. These freezes are by far the most frustrating aspect of beta testing as it takes about ten minutes to restart the system.

Yes. I'm having the same issues. Are you also using an nVidia card?

Yes. That was it. Tried it again and it started. Only problem being my bloody nVidia card made everything go blurry again so tried alt-tabbing to fix it (no options in battle by the looks). Created a DX Error when coming back and then the game crashed. :(

Jumped into the game. Saw a spider so I wanted to try out the tactical battles. But when I attack it I don't get any choices. It just insta-battles as per previous. Am I missing something or a setting?

After alt-tabbing within game, when I exit I get a crash screen appear.

Same issues as previously with nVidea graphics cards. Advanced Lighting can lead to blurry and/or dark screens Turning off Advanced Lighting can lead to ghost imagery on screen. Alt-Tabbing can help clean up Advanced Lighting issues but then city titles on screen become corrupted.

downloading now ...

Change log is up. :D
