[.91][Graphics] White screen issues in WOM BETA Builds Elemental Forums

I didn't see the white screen issues on Kryo's round up page and was wondering if they are being addressed. There are two; on the main map and on the tactical map.

Reply to 3B - Possible Memory Leak in WOM BETA Builds Elemental Forums

I think I have noticed a memory leak. At start up everything runs properly and memory usage is around 650,000k. After a few turns, the game bogs down severely and the memory usage is around 875,000k. Exiting and reloading the save fixes the issue. Update: the last game the memory usages was at 988,000k.

Reply to Choosing "Skip Intro Cutscene" made all loading saves work on my computer. =) in WOM BETA Builds Elemental Forums

[quote who="Tormy-" reply="4" id="2685101"]Weird stuff, because this isn't working for me. I skipped the intro since I updated to the new version, and I had lot of save/reload problems. Some saves just won't reload even after 5 tries...and in some cases the game was locked-up as well. I reported these of course.[/quote] My luck has been hit or miss with this setting disabled as well. Although, I haven't created a new named save game since I changed it.

[.90] Graphics issues remain in WOM BETA Builds Elemental Forums

While .90 is a great improvement (thanks for the late night, guys!) there are still some graphics issues that remain. - The white screen at any zoom level below the cloth map is still present - The tactical map has the same white screen issue - The character portraits in the unit design screen and when the unit is selected are just outlines The issues were present with the default values and with AA and all other graphics options disabled. <

I have the same issue in the versions since .802. I have an older MS optical scroll-wheel mouse with audible clicks when using the scroll wheel. Earlier versions were more responsive to the mouse wheel.

UPDATE: Thanks to the advice of CariElf, I disabled my sound card and now I can get the game to launch. However, the white screen issue at any zoom level below the cloth map still exists. I have disabled all video options. This behavior started in version .803.

[quote who="Palmski83" reply="5" id="2680920"]Hello everybody! I know I'm probably just repeating what somebody else has posted, but I'm having crash issues at startup... It gets stuck at the splash screen forever... sometimes when I alt-tab out and back again, I get a yellow screen and a sound effect like a hiccupping pig begins looping... Sometimes I can get past it by double clicking or by pressing esc, but even when I do make it to the menu, it's unbearably slow... I've been waiting since

CPU goes to 99 percent, but oddly enough, the memory usage seems low, around 44K I had this same problem in .804. Also .803, I could only see the cloth map, any zoom level below showed the solid white screen even with AA turned off. I tried running in full-screen and windowed mode. One thing I have never noticed before was the dxatlaswin.exe service ran for a while. I found this thread that referenced the service: <a href="http

Understood. I created the thread as soon as I had done the update and some initial troubleshooting, which pushed creating the post into Friday. Thanks for the response! It can be difficult without a post to know if a bug report thread has been seen by the devs.

I assume we can't contact Tech Support for beta issues. So, short of a mod/dev posting in your thread, how do you know if your issue was noted/reported? Should I just wait for the next build and hope I can launch the game then? Thanks

Good idea. I see several posts about the same thing and other posts that report a bug from an older version that may get ignored because the thread title lists the old version number.

[quote quoting="post"] No debug file created. I seem to be going backwords with each release. [/quote] Same here. I could play 802 with very few problems. 803 introduced the white screen issue that even turning off AA wouldn't fix. 804 and I can't even get past the initial splash screen. This is getting really frustrating.

[.804][Hang up] Game hangs at splash screen in WOM BETA Builds Elemental Forums

The game will not get past the main splash screen. I have let it run for several minutes with no progress. Based on previous experience in this Beta, I always remove and re-install when a new version comes out. I have tried in fullscreen and windowed modes with the same result. I read the other similar thread, but my issue has nothing to do with Internet access or lack thereof. I have no firewall software and no outbound ports are blocked by my h
