Reply to Crashing My Video Card in War of Magic Elemental Forums

It sounds like your video card might be overheating. Check that you have the latest drivers from NVIDIA, clean out your PC (physically blow the dust off the card and its fan, make sure all the grilles are clear). Failing that, try adjusting the graphics card fan settings with something like RivaTuner (after reading how) to increase the fan speed. My 8800 would do the same until I tweaked the fan to go a little higher, especially on load.

Using coupons is a great idea! We're fine with however people wish to legally buy our game, as long as they use the money saved to buy expansion packs a year down the road. [e digicons]B)[/e]

Reply to The .9999 release - initial impressions. in War of Magic Elemental Forums

Yes, that is what I mean. As for the map editor, it likely shared many of the issues we fixed since beta4, but if you notice any errors in the current build, please report them - preferably with links to save games and/or crash dumps! It also helps if you can say "doing this adds 5Mb" - Task Manager can often help, set it to show the "Commit Size" column under "View" in the processes tab.

Reply to The .9999 release - initial impressions. in War of Magic Elemental Forums

We thought all prior alt-tab issues were fixed, but the change to fix a graphics memory leak also caused a recurrence of that issue on some ATI cards on Win7 x64. We have one of the game's lead graphics developers on the task of fixing it. For now, running in windowed mode (which will fill the screen if you set it to the screen resolution) may help. If not, set autosave to every turn and sit tight for a couple of days.

Pre-order processing should be completed within the next five hours. Apologies for the delay, but it's probably for the best - we have enough people flooding the servers anyway (the download speeds are excellent, but it'd be nice to keep it that way).

Reply to GameShark Q&A with Brad Wardell on Elemental in Elemental News Elemental Forums

[quote who="Mogmoogle" reply="20" id="2717929"]I do have to disagree about the part about wanting to play Civ 5, its been the same game for the last 2 decades they improved the graphics great, but a veteran spear-man can still take out a Abrams tank . . .[/quote] What's wrong with that? A veteran spear-unit could well beat a tank if they knew exactly where to poke it.

Reply to version 1.50.020 crashes! in TweakVista & 7 WinCustomize Forums

All of these programs run on the Microsoft .NET platform. It is quite possible that your installation of it is broken in some way. Please try following the directions in this article to repair it and other system files: http://blogs.msdn.com/b/astebner/archive/2007/03/26/how-to-repair-the-net-framework-2-0-and-3-0-on-windows-vista.aspx Another possibility is that other software on your computer is incompatible with DirectSkin. To test this, try renaming the "wbocx32.ocx" file

Reply to beta 2 [Crash] Out of memory win7 64 bit in WOM BETA Builds Elemental Forums

We're aware of this issue and this potential workaround. Obviously we hope to not require 2Gb in the first place, but there is always the potential for leaks and memory fragmentation. We want to make long game testing easier, especially as we get close to release. You cannot easily make a version that will work properly with Large Address Aware enabled, due to DirectX textures being limited to below the 2Gb mark by default. The good news is, we probably can.

Reply to Tweak 7 stopped working in TweakVista & 7 Stardock Forums

If it occurs after you've quit, it's possible that it was a background task that was collecting data for one of the information screens. Sometimes the information gathering process involves calling out to third-party code which might not respond well if stopped in the middle. It isn't good that it caused an error, but it shouldn't harm your system. If it happens every single time, even if you wait a while before quitting, there's probably something up in Tweak7 itself - perha

Reply to Stardock product to restore window layout after screen saver exit? in Object Desktop WinCustomize Forums

Sounds to me like you need to talk to whoever made those screen savers. They should be passing CDS_FULLSCREEN to ChangeDisplaySettingsEx in order to make the resolution change temporary so it doesn't tell the window manager to move everything around: http://blogs.msdn.com/b/oldnewthing/archive/2008/01/04/6973747.aspx The same could be achieved with an application shim that set ForceTemporaryModeChange, so it would in theory be possible to do this. However, that's a lot of code
