See the file PM2008Manual.pdf and go to page 16. There are some shortcuts listed there. You can find this file in the directory of wherever you installed the game, (typically C:\Program Files\Stardock Games\The Political Machine 2008).

Please go to "My Documents/My Games/PolMachine2008/". Once there, look for a file called "debug.err". Open this file with notepad. Copy the entire contents of that file and paste it here so I can take a look at it.

If you are referring to an Impulse problem, you should post it in the Impulse section of the site. That way, Impulse devs can look at it. For best results, you should also explain what you were doing, and what went wrong.

hey Beardy, sorry for the delay. CodeCritter had left you that suggestion but he's taken some much needed vacation time. I personally don't see why you would be getting the shader 3.0 error messages but CodeCritter is basically the guy that could look into it further. If you're okay with waiting until he gets back, he may have more suggestions. If you'd rather not wait, you can contact [email protected] to see about a refund. I don't suppose you have another m

Now that you've updated your drivers and restarted your computer, can you run the game and then repost your debug.err file here? It gets overwritten each time you run the game.

playing a game where your character doesn't move exactly when you tell him too is frustrating. Really frustrating. Maybe this would work for streaming me a game of bejeweled, but something like a FPS. Doubtful. Here's a good read on the impossibilties of OnLive's claims.
