Reply to -- Survey -- Give Stardock the feedback they want on Elemental Beta 1 in WOM BETA Builds Elemental Forums

Actually, because we only see the bugs here on the forums, it's nice to see that things are working for others. Thanks for posting the survey. We'll be checking up on it. I'm not sure if you can add a question, but if you can, it'd be nice to know what video cards people are using: a. ATI b. NVidia c. Intel Integrated Graphics d. Other

Lord Alderaan , Since your computer is working at that resolution, would you mind posting your debug.err file for comparison? Thanks, - CodeCritter

Stevty2889, Do the artifacts you get at other resolutions stay "fixed" on the screen as you move the camera around the map?

Reply to [BUG/GRAPHICS] Grid of bars across the map in WOM BETA Builds Elemental Forums

Please try changing the "Maximum Mip Map Levels" option to "1 Level". The option can be found in the "Video" tab of the Options screen. Please let us know if that helps, or if the problem persists. Thanks, CodeCritter.

Reply to [Bug] - Graphics on Start in WOM BETA Builds Elemental Forums

Please make sure your drivers are up-to-date. They are dated 2008. If new drivers do not help, try changing the "Maximum Mip Map Levels" option to "1 Level". The option can be found in the "Video" tab of the Options screen. Please let us know if that helps, or if the problem persists. Thanks, CodeCritter.

Reply to [Bug/Graphics] - UI a jumbled mess in WOM BETA Builds Elemental Forums

The options should not be "locked down." Please check the properties of your /my documents/my games/elemental/prefs.ini file, and make sure it is not set to read-only. You can manually open the prefs.ini file in notepad and near the top you will see entries for the screen resolution: [Video] DisplayWidth=1024 DisplayHeight=768 You can change this to your native resolution: [Video] DisplayWidth=1680 DisplayHeight=1050 and save

Reply to [CRASH] Crash during generation of the world in WOM BETA Builds Elemental Forums

Donegal, your video drivers are about 4 years old. Please try the ATI site to download new drivers. Your laptop manufacturer may block ATI's drivers, though. So if they do you'll have to get new drivers from them.

Reply to [CRASH] When clicking the little "A" button in WOM BETA Builds Elemental Forums

Does clicking the "A" button always crash like that for you?

Reply to [CRASH] BSOD on world creation in WOM BETA Builds Elemental Forums

Does this graphical oddity happen every time? If so, please try changing the "Maximum Mip Map Levels" option (in Video tab) to "1 Level" If that doesn't help, try reducing your screen resolution. These are not meant to be optimal solutions, but if changing these options eliminates the problem, then it can help us narrow down what the real problem is. Thanks. - CodeCritter

Good catch. I hadn't noticed this before. We'll have to look into that.

There is an issue with road building in the beta. It only builds to certain cities. It has been fixed internally.

Reply to [BUG] SAVE BUTTON GRAYED OUT in WOM BETA Builds Elemental Forums

Although this sounds un-related, please try a lower screen resolution in the Video tab of the options screen. Does this enable the Save button?

Reply to [BUG] Zooming trouble in WOM BETA Builds Elemental Forums

You can disable the zoom-to-cursor in the options screen.

Thanks for posting the videos.

Reply to Hill problems in War of Magic Elemental Forums

The pictures on IGN have a zoomed in view, so you're not really seeing the whole hill, which makes it harder to tell. If you look at the picture linked by CoffeeMonkey, you'll see it is much easier to tell where the hills are. Also, you're right in that it is harder to tell with a still than a moving game. When you move the camera around, you'll see the differences in the way the light hits the hill which makes it very clear where the land is sloped. [quote who

Reply to I have no colours or graphics in TPM Support PolMach Forums

beardy, I apologize for the delay. Unfortunately, I cannot determine why it isn't working. I'm afraid all we can do for you is process a refund. Please contact [email protected] and they'll be able to help you with that. Thanks for sticking in there with us.

Reply to I have no colours or graphics in TPM Support PolMach Forums

In the prefs.ini file mentioned above look for this line (below) and change it to =0. This may help you get into the game easier as well. MapIconOnlyMode=0

[quote]Frequently custom game listing never lists anything. If I try to host and get this error: HostGame in CVP failed.[/quote] Try making an exception for demigod.exe in your Windows firewall settings, or turn off your firewall. This is a common cause for not being able to host a game.
