I keep getting the error that I dont have FE installed on my computer

just to let you guys know that I was able to install the update (smaller file) at the first try.

Mine (downloaded the upgrade) works like a charm  and installed without a hitch. First few hours of playing and I'm really impressed. All the new additions work really well.

- City building is great fun and I'm really contemplating what to build next all the time.

- Love the way essence works in combination with city enchantments.

- Flipping outposts is much better than getting them destroyed.

- I flipped a Magnar outpost by 'outculturing him'.

- AI (challenging) still does some weird stuff occasionally like sending out a lone hero to pillage in my territory (not a good idea) but overall seems pretty good. More after I've completed my first game.

Well, I've tried the update patch with my previous install, and the exe would not run, then the main download twice, both times it says it is corrupted and wont install. Trying it via stardock central next.

Same here. There it goes my planned evening, after 2 hours of download. VERY annoying.

Second time it happened, too. Last time it was because I skipped an update and the patches only work incrementally while only the last one is available (NOT the proper way to handle patches, obviously): it was the reason I uninstalled it entirely and decided to just wait for Beta 4. At least the full package will install, I thought.

No such luck. This game is really becoming a life-long, enduring test of patience and restraint.   

Doesn't work. Same problem. I tried larger file twice and update once. 

Guys Derek just posted a fix! https://forums.elementalgame.com/429402

3 hours of gameplay, and first impressions are solid. Love the gameplay and the new improved esthetics! Now back to the fun!

Thanx for the heads up, LordTheRon. It does start now.

Well, it's past midnight over here. I'll just fire a game to feel the novelty...

DOWNLOAD NOW! 

Download and Update to Beta 4 worked perfectly, first time, for me ...         

Just to review the bidding:   the update to Elemental: Fallen Enchantress'es (E:FE) Beta 4 was first available on Thursday, August 16.  I had competing issues (and other games!) to deal with, for the last several days, so I was not able to install the E:FE Beta 4 until today (Wednesday, August 22). 

However, I am happy to say that my update, install, and patch process went perfectly smoothly, at this late date.  (I know that several folks had problems, for the first day or two: but I am guessing that they are mostly corrected by now.  Caveat: unfortunately, no one can guarantee that updates and downloads will always work perfectly, for everyone, all the time ...   However, I believe that things are generally looking good now.)

More specifically, I used the Stardock Store site for my update.  I used the Beta Update File button (not the complete install).  Via my somewhat slow InterNet, I completed the download (of the roughly 350 Mbytes file) in 11 minutes and 30 seconds.  (This update is identifed as version 0.950.058.)  After beginning to Run the file, the Patching process took perhaps another 6-7 minutes on my system.  When I got the patch completion message, I exited to my desktop, and directly entered the game, as normal.  This all went just about as smoothly/easily as it could -- I am a happy camper!   

Here's hoping that the  gods-of-computer-downloads  smile, equally, on anyone who (being even slower than me) has to do their update to the Beta 4, any time hereafter ...   Good Luck !

Can't wait to give it a shot. DL'ing the update now. If I feel up to snuff I'll try to let you know what I think.

That's a bit late, were already 2 patches ahead

Ooops..lol. Yeah I noticed I was a bit behind trying to update to the newest beta. I had 0.75 installed. It wouldn't find the install to do a "beta update" so I had to download the new beta full install file. Just finishing up the re-install now.
