My game finally works. I wiped my hard drive after I got my new video card (I was planning on doing that anyway) and havent yet installed my virtual drive. If I install the drive and the game craps out on me well know what my problem was, and maybe someone at stardock can talk to ubisoft about getting rid of the copy protection for end-users with this problem.
Can't get past the intro By: Lamont Cranston Posted: Thursday, August 19, 2004 Message Board: Political Machine I got the game at EB yesterday and after installing it it started through the opening intro and then crashed to desktop without an error message. I have updated all my drivers, Directx, etc. and still it
Reply #25 By: JakeC - 8/19/2004 10:05:55 AM Maverick142aj: What virtual drive software are you running? I want to give it a shot here. Technomatt, when you removed the virtualDrive software, how did you do it? Did you uninstall the software, or simply disable it? The reason I ask is that in Maverick's DXDiag, it i
is there a way to make the software look for a different kind of cd drive, or even something like a no-cd exe file we can use?
technomatt: we have some very interesting similarities i also have the sb live 5.1 i also have a virtual drive on my computer and of course the AIW i updated my drivers first to the most recent update, and then ubi soft told me to go down to 4.5 because the new ones have bugs
installed smart exception. I ran political machine and I dont get an exception or error log. I figuered, maybe the update had something to do with it. I uninstalled the program and intsalled it again to 1.0 and still no error log.
no good, frogboy. tried it and the game now skips the video at the beginning and then crashes. I also ran it from the cmd prompt windowed with no intro and it still didnt work. Anything we can do about this?
Im actually upgrading to 9800pro AIW in a day or two, but i dont know whether that is going to change things. Ill let you if this patch and/or the video card change does anything
The game may or may not be buggy. I wouldnt know, as I have not been able to play it yet. But I have spoken to two other people and numerous posts from people who have the same problem as I do, the crash at the beginning. I wrote to tech support, who replied a day later asking for more info which I gladly sent. I recieved no response, no confirmation, and no "we are aware of this problem and are working on it". I understand the Stardock is hamstrung in
im losing faith in this company fast. i tried to run it with the command nointro, (thanks fragged one) and the command worked but only decreased the time it takes to crash. I have also ran it in windowed mode with similar results. Please help us stardock.
could we maybe talk on aim - my aim is the same as my nickname
did the same thing happen to you?
i ordered it online from a retail store, electronics boutique. I am more interested in getting it to work right though.
tried it, still crashes - i am posting the debug.err file and the dxdaig - bear with me its long. Please help, i cannot play the game and the suspense is killing me. Debug Message: ******* Starting Game Shell ******* Debug Message: Could not open reg key. Debug Message: Could not find a Drengin.net Serial No. Debug Message: Could not open reg key. Debug Message: Could not find political machine serial in registry subdirect
Sorry, i think I posted this in the wrong forum first Whenever I run the game I get the short intro movie and then the game crashes to the desktop. I just updated my directx to 9.0C, Windows XP SP1 and a 9600XT AIW. I have tried using both the 4.5 and newest catalyst drivers and nothing seems to work. I can post my dxdiag later, but does anyone have any suggestions?
