Cannot start Elemental "cannot download data"

from Elemental Forums

Hi..

Have this problem with 1.19m and previous 2-3 versions.  Cannot start a game.  Any idea?

If you're talking about the error pop-up when starting the game, you might be able to bypass it by pressing 'esc' instead of clicking to close the box. Works for me at least.

Start the game in windowed mode, to make sure that there isn't a hidden firewall prompt, asking you to give net acess to Elemental. Also make sure your firewall doesn't block it. For betas you need internet access.

BTW, to run the betas, your internet access has to be active, and on while starting and playing EWoM.

This is probably related to the Impulse login being worked on today (see forum message)

Edit: Looks like it's up again
