If the Temple of Apshai mod works out I'm curious as to whether anyone would try to do a Tomb of Horrors mod.

Reply to [BUG] Level up screen reports more essence than game screen in WOM BETA Builds Elemental Forums

I did create a city and I know that that costs 5 essence but if the level screen is reporting "overall essence accumulated" while everything else is reporting "available essence" I think that's misleading and I don't see the purpose.

[BUG] Level up screen reports more essence than game screen in WOM BETA Builds Elemental Forums

After leveling up my Sovreign I noticed that, consistently, upon leveling up the leader received an essence bump of 5 points. All well and good. The normal screen, and main map icon, reports 5 essence less than the "level up" screen. It wasn't just a one turn delay either. After multiple level gains the "level up" screen consistently has the correct total while the normal screen reports 5 essence points fewer than it should.

Reply to [CRASH] CTD from splash screen in WOM BETA Builds Elemental Forums

It looks like running as Admin isn't the only thing going on. While I was able to get two games started while running as Admin a third and fourth game crashed at the splash screen.

Reply to [CRASH] CTD from splash screen in WOM BETA Builds Elemental Forums

What worked for me, under Windows 7, is to run the game as an admin rather than a normal user. If I do that I don't get the CTD at the splash screen.

That's very interesting. Running as Admin worked for me as well.

Reply to Q&A for folks playing Beta 1 workaround/kludge installations in War of Magic Elemental Forums

I've tried every suggested workaround plus an attempt at a fix courtesy of BoogieBac but no luck. I'm hoping that this week's update is able to get me past the splash screen.

Reply to Customer Service Un-preordered Me in War of Magic Elemental Forums

Not trying to fan the flames, and I hope someone from Stardock will chime in, but it's been well publicized that pre-orders would be charged when the first beta was released. This has been standard practice for every pre-order / beta from Stardock for many years. The beta for Elemental was released last week.

Reply to [CRASH] Game will not go past title sceen in WOM BETA Builds Elemental Forums

Hangs or crashes at splash/intro screen. If not due to firewall apps, this issue can be resolved for some by clearing the screens folder so that it is redownloaded. The suggested fix does nothing for me. I clear the contents of the folder and the game downloads the files again and CTD. If I restart the game CTD at the splash screen.

Same problem. It's happened three times in a row. I'm guessing the following line from debug.err is the issue: Debug Message: ERROR: NO LAND TERRAIN TYPES.

While I'm interested by the possibility of finding a dragon's egg, or whatever the mechanic turns out to be, I'm much more interested in seeing how all the bits and pieces of system fit together. Brad is giving us many of the bits but I haven't seen enough yet to get a good picture of how things will work together. I'm semi-patiently waiting for the beta. [e digicons]O:)[/e]

Dynamic Wallpaper Settings - can't get to them in DeskScapes Stardock Forums

It's been a while since I last tried to play with the settings for a dream so I don't know when this stopped working but I when I click on the "Dynamic Wallpaper Settings" option in the Deskscapes control panel window nothing happens. It used to bring up the options for the currently active dream. Now it does nothing. The "Performance Settings" option works as usual. I've tried a few different dreams and the "Dynamic Wallpaper Settings" does nothing for any of them.&

I just went to the Explore tab in the latest Impulse beta and selected the Free programs. There lies LogonStudio Vista. I hit the "Add to account" button and it asked for my e-mail address. Then I hit the "Register" button. The response was a screen informing me that "The product you are requesting is not available for free registration." Something seems amiss. Magus

Agreed. But if it's something you have to do on a regular basis SnagIt is a great tool. The ability to take multiple screenshots in succession and deal with them later is a feature that I've long wished for.

Witcher - can't register the game in Games Support Stardock Forums

Sorry if this shows up more than once. I posted this to the Witcher forum but it doesn't seem to have shown up. I just downloaded and installed Witcher, via Impulse. I double-clicked on the desktop icon left by the install process and I was guided through a multi-step process: create a Witcher forum ID - Done. The next step is "Enter the CD Projeckt registration key" and this is where the problems start. I tried using the key Stardock sent me
