The ATI Radeon 9200 and 9250 cards do not support shader model 2.0, which the game requires. The Intel 82845G and Intel 82865G cards also do not support shader model 2.0. If you have one of these cards (this includes everyone who posted a debug.err above), please see this post for more information: https://forums.politicalmachine.com/315413
delijoe, Can you please post the contents of your debug.err file? This file can be found in /my documents/my games/PoliticalMachine2008/ Just open the file in any text editor, such as Notepad, then copy/paste the contents into a reply in this thread. That file will give us diagnostic information. Thanks.
You can also choose the screen shot image format by going to the Options screen and changing the "Screen Shot Format" option. The following image formats are supported: PNG JPG BMP TGA DIB
Taking In-Game Screen Shots Sometimes, when playing the game, something cool happens where you would like to save a screen shot. You could use third-party tools to do this. You could also use the PrntScrn key and then paste the image and then save it. The Political Machine 2008 actually lets you save a screen shot image file directly from the game! <FONT size=
The debug.err file can be found in your /my documents/my games/politicalmachine2008/ folder. The file is created when you start the game, so if you don't see the file there, please try re-running the game. If it does not appear there immediately after running the game, please let us know.
