[quote]Most 32-bit apps work on my system without any issues, so I would presume the only stumbling block here is the impulse client itself which refuses to restore the archive.[/quote] Actually, it should restore them regardless, but whether they work or not will depend on the application. Apps like WindowBlinds that need to have the 64 bit version on 64 bit systems will probably not work if the 32 bit version is installed, while apps like DesktopX may work fine. [quote

As I'm patrolling these forums I see several posts where people are wondering where certain files/folders are located. Here's a list of locations and files that may be helpful when reporting issues DIRECTORIES: Game install directory C:\Program Files\Stardock Games\Elemental <
What's the make and model of your USB sound device? Do you have an onboard device, and if so does it show the same issue?
Thanks for this report. This is an issue we're working on. In the mean time the suggestions spacecadet87 had are right on.
[quote]I lowered all of the settings as low as they would go. [/quote] did this include screen resolution?
If possible, can you send the save game file located in Documents\My Games\Elemental\Saves. Can you also please download and run the following utility: http://sd.stardock.com/SDSupportTool.exe This is a tool that we use to gather relevant log files and basic information about your computer. Once the utility finishes running, please send back the .zip file it creates on the desktop.
Are you seeing this when creating your card, or after it has already been created? If the latter, did it show when creating it?
[quote]Everything on it loads fine, it's like the actually texture for the map itself isn't loading.[/quote] It looks like this may be the case. Try verifying the game through Impulse (Shift+Right click on the game entry). It should replace the texture if needed. Also, try tweaking your brightness setting for the map (I like mine on full bright at 100): <img style="vertical-align: middle;" src="http://sd.stardock.com/curthendzell/pics/2010-08-28_1319.png" alt
the seed maps are in the game directory under data\Maps. The ones that say seed. The others for the campaign and what not do not delete, it'll break things.
Confirmed and reported to the dev team.
Impulse Anywhere may not yet have the latest version of Elemental. I'll see about getting that fixed.
1.) Your drivers could use some updating. Always make sure you have the latest and greatest for your card for best performance. 2.) Is this as soon as the game is run, or when you load a save? If the former, try deleting the following directory: C:\ProgramData\Stardock\Elemental - War of Magic\Screens (the directory ProgramData is hidden) and running the game again
Saves are under Documents\My Games\Elemental\Saves. Please upload the save so we can take a look ( I personally like drop.io for file hosting)
What is the resolution your screen is running at?
[quote]A friend of mine's downloaded his copy already. Will I be able to grab the archive file off him and activate it on my account using the serial number I received after purchasing the game?[/quote] Unfortunately, no, the archives are user specific. You could log in on his machine and use the download and archive feature in Impulse to get your archive though (right click on the game entry and select "Download and Archive") [quote]Unfortunately I don't have a very stable
There are no purchases on your account. Please e-mail [email protected] so we can get your accounts in order.
Happy Birthday!
[quote]I understand that this is the Dell version of Stardock[/quote] Stardock is our company, not any of our software titles. Unfortunately, it's not possible to nest categories in the Dell Dock. It's really designed to be a way to quickly launch apps, not something to replace a file explorer or the All Programs menu.
If you move the files out of C:\Users\{YOUR USER NAME}\Documents\My Games\Elemental and C:\ProgramData\Stardock\Elemental - War of Magic does that get you up and running (store those files somewhere in case we need data from you, but make sure the locations are clear). Once you do this, run the game again.
e-mail [email protected] and we should be able to get you up and running.

Try removing MyColors completely by running this removal tool: http://sd.stardock.com/mike/apps/odnt_zapper.exe You'll need to right click and select "Run as administrator" if you're in Windows Vista or 7. Once you do this, you can reboot and reinstall.
Probably not, it was hidden because people used it way to often when they really shouldn't have, and it was beginning to do more harm than good. By making it shift+click we can make it easily accessible without being the default jerk reaction to issues with software installs.
The move option is a problem, there is no option to move with the send to menu. However, you can just create shortcuts to the following locations and should have no issues (provided you have permissions to other users desktops): C:\Users\Public\Desktop C:\Users\{YOUR USER NAME}\Desktop C:\Users\{OTHER USER's NAME}\Desktop You can rename the shortcuts as you see fit.
What are your settings for Anti-aliasing, Ground Cover, texture details, etc. when you're getting the 19 fps?
