Can't seem to find a link, is it for impulse users only? |
All the patches are for Impulse users only. But so far Skidrow has been kind enough to crack the new patches.

Performance issues (for many, many people the game uses GPU at minimum output) and memory leaks resulting in unplayable game in mid and later stages of the play.

After installing patch 1.06 I can't even play the game, the graphics renderer crashes and leaves me with a yellowish screen whenever theres supposed to be something rendered, so while I can see the ui, I can't see the world 
This is an outrage. 
Edit: fixed by reinstalling the entire game through impulse, something must've gone wrong between 1.05 to 1.06 update.

Do I have to apply the previous patches or can I just apply 1.06 to the release version?

The Elemental Forums announce the release of a new patch through Impulse for Elemental: War of Magic to update the turn-based strategy game to version 1.06, "now with 100% more hotfix." The new version addresses a "white screen" issue and fixes some memory problems along with other fixes and some balance changes. Thanks PC Gamer, where they follow-up on their complaints saying "the game is finally stable."

** Hotfix Update **
We've released a 1.06 hotfix - despite our intentions were to have 1.06 be more supportive of 1.05 saved games, things didn't work as planned and we were seeing a lot of oddities throughout the forums.
The hotfix will force the player to start with the new data, ensuring validity of key components (read: less crashy).
Enjoy!
----------
Here's hoping skidrow keeps up with it. They're prolly tired of releasing patches by now.

Yes. Big thing with 1.06 is that is breaks old savegames. So if you are really into your current game, delay patching for later.
P.S.
Using old Eemental.exe from 1.05 skidrow crack is a good workaround, if you really need to finish old savegame. That way only data files are updated to 1.06, while binary is 1.05.

After installing the 1.5 hotfix and the 1.6 patch the game gets stuck on the loading screen when starting a new game.
Do you have to install all the other patches as well?

None of the Skidrow cracks beyond 1.01 work for me. 1.05 and 1.06 both give me an error saying "Elemental has detected a corrupt patch. Please update to the current version by logging onto your Impulse account."

Actually, their 1.06 release does include hotfix. It was the one that disabled old saves compatibility.

That's because MP is not finished yet. When it gets running in week or so (according to official sources), we'll get another patch that enables it.

Anyone that has had problems with black screen when trying to start a game? Have not been able to start it at all.

There won't be new patches for the weekend, so we can finally play a game for a bit.
http://forums.elementalgame.com/393532
But big next thing (for future 1.07) will be fixing performance issues (horrible frame rate on map when cities are present).
| BoogieBac wrote: | 2. Performance Issues
People with awesome rigs are getting crummy performance. This is the next major ‘bug’ on our list, and we’ve made some major headway. Most of the issue lies with the LOD on zoom technology that fades things out as a zoom percentage is reached. As overall zoom range, specific LOD levels, and new tile diesigns are tweaked and added, the game seems to be displaying many objects, in general, when zoomed out. Code is being tweaked to make batching faster and tile designs are being tweaked to simplify better as the user zooms out...
Debug Message: *** TD Details: F_Town_02 ***
Closest:0
Closer:0
Close:19
Mid:44
Far:14
Farther:3
Farthest:17
Total Objects:97
The fallen Town, for instance, clocks in at 97 objects, many of these being dupes that get batched together. Unfortunately, we don’t start fading out objects until the ‘Mid’ zoom level...right before the cloth map is enabled (at its default value), so even zoomed out pretty far we’re still displaying all 97 objects when we could probably get away with 40-50.
So while there’s no ‘silver bullet’, improvements across these areas of the LOD system should help performance issues considerably.
Oh, wait, Jesse just fixed some code and is now seeing a 10-20 fps boost...so apparently there WAS a silver bullet...and apparently he’s saving the details for his own change log But good news, regardless! (jesse: so hovering over a city that used to give me 25fps now gives me 42-43) |

40bucks is pretty expensive to get into this beta test program, imho.

pfft,
copy over original exe and dll etc first before u patch again from 1.05 to 1.06 that is how to do it. otherwise a cracked exe is noticed and ur file patching might go a bit haywire maybe,.
worked for me that way. |

Impulse compares any modified files and overwrites them, if Skidrow used a custom installer it's probably just to pack the files, Impulse won't patch unless needed so 1.01 will have files that 1.05 don't and the same between 1.05 to the hotfix to 1.06 to the hotfix for that and of course any releases of these patches so that's why you need all of them.
(Apparently there's a bug in the 1.05 patch first released by Skidrow as well with the /gfx/ folder content being misplaced, something like /gfx/gfx or some such.)

^You can install skidrow patches even to empty folder, so it's just simple unpack, and copy to location installer.
