I don't want to install GOG Gakaxy so it's a shame the offline version doesn't seem to install the game properly. Installer files/folders remain in the game folder after installing and the game gets stuck right after launching and freezes.

Edit: Tried GOG Galaxy version as well, same issue. Will be getting a refund sadly.

Hi! Some people reported long freezes when the game tries to connect to GOG services, but it should work after a while. Can you try to wait at least 10 seconds when the game freezes to see if it starts working?

In the mean time this issue will be investigated.

I reinstalled the offline version to test and it does seem to eventually load after waiting a while, but I get a connection failed message even though the game still works. Was hoping for the GOG variant of this game to be completely offline and DRM free, but oh well. Appreciate the quick response and help though.

Hi Shimon! There is no DRM in the GOG version. Online functionality (leaderboards, achievements) require the GOG client to be running, obviously. The message you see is due to this not being the case. The game works completely well offline (other than the initial pause you found).

Fair enough, thanks for the response! Is it possible to there to be an offline launch argument or an alternative to skip the long pause? Cheers.

I do very much appreciate the quick responses and helpful, as a result I cancelled my refund request the other day. Thank you for keeping this old gem alive.

Hi! The update released today solves this issue by allowing you to choose if you want to go online (connect to GOG). If you skip this, the game won't pause on startup.

The offline installer for the latest version 1.06 is crashing on launch a window appears then an error appears elma.exe has stopped working. A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available.

It then crashes and doesn't launch.

Hi Johnnnn!

Thanks for letting us know, we'll look into this.

Best,

Hello elmaofficial

I've found a new issue in the latest version:
setup_elasto_mania_1.07_(64bit)_(62293).exe

After accidentally hitting the ground in level 11 (Gravity Ride), the game crashes and a message comes up. I was able to reproduce this bug. I've attached a screenshot of the message.

Hi again

Thanks for your support. :-)

Now the game doesn't crash any more - but now some graphical issues appear instead where the game used too crash. But only for a second or so...

I've uploaded a video to YouTube of the new issue:

Thank you for the feedback, rickihoegh, I am glad that the crashing issue is solved.
We will look into the graphics bug.
