Elemental: Fallen Enchantress has stopped working

Crash on first start up

March 3, 2012 6:53:52 AM from Elemental ForumsElemental Forums

So I just pre-ordered and installed the beta. Whenever I run it, the following things happen:

 

1) My screen turns black

2) My mouse cursor turns into a sword

3) A windows pop-up appears saying "Elemental: Fallen Enchantress has stopped working" with the only option to quit out of it.

 

Here's a pastebin of my dxdiag: http://pastebin.com/KmC7AAaL

 

I'd be very grateful for any and all help. Thanks!

Did you update your grpahic card drivers? Check Dell site but also Intel site (normally Dell is behind by a year or so).

Hi! I'm not using my on-board graphics for this, I'm using the NVIDIA Quadro:

 

     Name: NVIDIA Quadro 1000M


I've doublechecked that the game starts with that graphics card. Other games I'm running on my laptop with no problems whatsoever include Blur, Kingdoms of Amalur, and Skyrim. I'll make sure my graphics drivers are up to date, but I'm pretty sure that's not it.

Yep, strangely enough updating the drivers of my Quadro 1000M worked. Thanks!
