More crashes and performance still terrible

from Elemental Forums

With the most recent patch, the crashes have considerably worsened to the point where it's unplayable. Loading crashing half of the times. And ever so often the game crashed on me, playing my random continent game.

Also... sorry to say but the performance is abysmally bad. I don't know where the performance get, because visually the game is nowhere near that detailled that it would justify such a slow performance.

My comp: WinXP (SP3), Dual Core 2.2 Ghz, Nvidia 7950 with 512 MB Graphics RAM, 4 GB RAM

I would say a game with such graphics SHOULD run smooth, but it doesn't. It's a CHORE. And tbh, it makes me feel a bit cheated. I was so bored, so I bought the game at launch day, and now I can't play at all. I hope you work on crashes and really good performance soon. :/

 

EDIT: My graphic settings

1680 x 1050

AA off

limit framrate: 60

gfx: disable depth of field

texture: 1024 x 512

shadow low res

ground cover: numerous x2

unit scale: proportional

font smoothing

stylized lightning

softness: 75

 

Most of these I don't know what they do, so they are as preset.

Please open your debug.err file in notepad, and link the contents into a post here via pastebin. This will give us some technical information that can help troubleshoot your problem.

The file can be found in My Documents\My Games\Elemental

Be sure to copy the debug immediately after the error occurs; if you start the game again, the debug log will be erased and recreated for the new session.

If there was a dump zip created in C:\ProgramData\Stardock\Elemental - War of Magic (C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Stardock\Elemental - War of Magic on Windows XP), please post that too.
