For the curious, this issue has been resolved via email conversation. In the end, it was determined that he was missing files that should have come from the installer and placed in the appropriate places. A full uninstall of the game, a reboot of the machine, and then a full install of the game solved the issue. Just wanted to put it out there in case anyone else had the issue and was reading this thread for a solution.

First off, always make sure you have the latest drivers for your particular card. You'd be amazed at the number of crashes that are "fixed" by having the player update his gfx card drivers. Having said that, recently we've gotten a few reports from people who have just downloaded the game for the first time, and get a crash upon trying to start it. It a lot of cases they have an nVidia card in their laptop with a technology called Optimus. This tech basically

Awesome! We're glad you're up and running. If I had to guess, given the list of things you did, uninstalling nVidia drivers and then installing just the newest ones may have been the steps that fixed it.

There's another user having crashes a few seconds into the game. In his case, he had the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 560M card, which also has the Optimus tech. As you probably know, Optimus basically decides whether you need to use the Nvidia card (for gfx-intense stuff), or the integrated card (better battery life for less intensive tasks). It switches automatically for you. My thought is that this switching could interfere with the game and cause it to crash. <

Your notebook comes with a technology called Nvidia Optimus: http://www.geforce.com/hardware/technology/optimus/technology In a nutshell, it's meant to give you a gfx-processing boost when needed, or conserve battery power when possible. It switches for you automatically. It's possible that it's deciding to switch back and forth while you are running the game. This could b

In the cases where you've cast Wither on a target and it leads to a crash, is Wither bringing them down to 0 attack, and does the crash happen when you mouse over them? If yes, then we do have that fixed internally. If not, let me know.

As far as the guys taking strategic damage that brings them down to 0 hp and they do not die, we do have that fixed here at the office. But for the tactical poison effect not killing, that's the first I've heard of it. GfireflyE, are you sure that guy wasn't immune to poison or have some kind of heal charm? Any other details you can give me would be appreciated.

[quote who="NeoWolfen" reply="23" id="2905898"] I have Stardock installed on my C:\ and I have Elemental itself in the impulse directory on my D:\ I have searched both with read only unchecked in order to see all hidden files and folders and what Carielf is asking for is just not there in either location. There are no other locations on my drives that I know of that have ANY directories related to stardock or impulse besides the other SD games I own and there is no reason
