Deleting family tree doesn't work for me. I still haven't gotten past the title screen & haven't seen *any* of Elemental.

Download was fine. When starting up game, message pops up: "WARNING: DirectX Acceleration is not enabled. You may experience difficulties running Elemental: War of Magic." When I click "OK" to continue, Elemental shows the loading splash screen then crashes to desktop. No further messages from Elemental or Windows. dxdiag reports that DirectX acceleration is indeed enabled and reports no errors. No errors on install.r EDIT: debug.err file: D
I didn't like GalCIv1, but I bought GalCiv2 because of your DRM model (or lack thereof). It was a pleasant side effect that GalCiv2 is a lot of fun, but mostly I like to encourage developers to not use DRM. You guys did it right, and from your sales numbers, you know it. As for starforce: never bought a starforce game, never will. I never needed a reason before, but now I've got one!
They could change it from "weeks" to "cycles" or "galactic week" or some other fictional unit of time; this would remove the implication that 1 turn = 1 week and changing all instances of "week" to "cycle" would be pretty easy to do. Moreover, I doubt it would offend anybody if we suddenly moved from weeks to cycles.
