I can confirm this happening in at least two different games, and trying to save and then loading the archive seems to result in infinite "creating world" screen. debug.err from the latest one. Using autosave to return to one or two turns before seems to work, however.

I solved the problem by editing prefs.ini in My Games/Elemental. Although I tweaked various parameters, I do suspect that setting RegenerateTextureAtlas to 1 made the trick.

I updated Elemental from the prior beta, in which the problem stated in this thread had been solved, and it kept crashing either in the "appearance" tab of the sovereign creation or creating the world. So I uninstalled and reinstalled Elemental, and my old problem resurfaced. Again, I have no buttons to click so essentially I can´t do anything but start a game and move around. But on the plus side, it no longer

Friday pathc solved the problem, thanks for the good work.

I'll add the debug.err. I suppose the problem is in the very long list of parse errors I keep getting. debug.err

This problem still happens both with the prior and present beta; nothing has changed in the computer save for updated graphic drivers (ATI). Although it no longer crashes making the world, it is unplayable as there is no way to use the interface; also I am unable to change any graphic options (as checboxes do not appear) and as such cannot test other possibilities.

Since 0.262 the main menu options have no background and no buttons appear, as shown: <img src="http://img257.imageshack.us/i/elementalbug2.jpg/" alt="
It DOES work with XP. Thanks a lot, but I hope Stardock can fix it... I just can't get used to US date and clock, but I guess I'll have to cope with it, at least for a while.
I downloaded GaCiv2, and when you try to start a new game, ships and planets don't have any texture, so they are either invisible (some ships and all planets) or have the plain racial colors (some ships). This happens in the racial selection screen and ingame, and never happened in the beta. I have, as you will see, updated drivers, with no result. Neither changing options in the .ini did anything. Debug.err as follows: Debug Message: Versi
