Game freeze at startup screen

August 27, 2010 3:51 PM from

http://pastebin.ca/1927094 I have reinstalled from disc twice and downloaded the game from impulse 1 time. Also got new drivers. Any help to get the game running would be appreciated. Game usually freezes on the start screen before i can make a game. a few times i have gotten as far as starting a new game but freezes shortly after.

If you try setting fullscreen=0 in the prefs.ini file found in My Documents\My Games\Elemental, is the result the same?

It definitely looks like something is going awry with the video driver but the devs will need to look at that to try to determine just what's going on.
