I have the Intel 82815 integrated graphics adapter and Windows 98. I had the Failed to initialize display, but when I downloaded the v1.01 test version file I got past the error and now have the no text problem. I also tried the v1.02 test version file and got the Failed to initialize display again. Please help.
Also, in response to what you said earlier about "Well I hate to break it to you but welcome to PC gaming..." I gotta say - that shouldn't be an issue with a game like this. I can promise you that the audience that plays this game is much more concerned about functionality than graphics. I'm sure that fans would gladly play this
I have the same problem. The game goes to the main menu but the buttons load very slowly and there are no words to identify what each button does. Also the mouse flashes to the point where I don't know where it is. Any suggestions?? Thanks
Hey FrogBoy, I download v.1.01 and the link above that "tries a different build that supports 16bit textures that might work on less capable video cards" and then unzipped it. When I went to extract it to the Political Machine directory it says do i want to overwrite an already exsisting file. Should I or shouldn't I overwrite this file?? Thanks
I used "c:\program files\ubisoft\stardock\polmachine\PolMachine.exe" w and changed my display to 1024x768 16bit color and that got me past the "unable to initialize display". The game went to the main menu but the buttons load very slowly and there are no words to identify what each button does. Also the mouse flashes to the point where I don't know where it is. Any other suggestions?? Thanks
I got the same message "unable to initialize display." Unfortunately, I have the Intel 82815 Graphics Controller video card with Windows 98. Is there any hope that I will be able to play this game. I have not had any problems playing other games.
