[0,24][Crash on startup]

Crahses on xml load

October 2, 2009 11:55:08 AM from Elemental ForumsElemental Forums

Hello,

After updating to 0,24 the game no longer starts ... it seems it can't find XML files. Ran used to start fine before.

If you edit the prefs.ini in your My Games\Elemental folder and change SkipIntro=0 to SkipIntro=1, does that bypass the crash?

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