[quote]I always wind up with a large stock of clout and nothing to spend it on.[/quote] You can destroy your "Clout HQ" after you have earned all the clout that you can spend. But yeah, no one really objects to having more of everything (endorsements, interviews, candidates, candidate body parts, etc...).
Other than following that direct link though, you can just follow these steps: -Go to PoliticalMachine.com -In the Left-pane, click "Forums" -After that loads, In the left-pane, click "Political Machine Support" -After that loads, "TPM Strategies" is a sub-category at the bottom of the page
[quote]This game really has nailed the "casual" part of "casual gaming." It's no huge time investment, I can play while watching TV or on my lunch break...Very nicely done. Keep up the good work![/quote] Thanks! We've had some technical issues for some pc setups that we are working on, so hopefully those people will stick around and be able to experience the game like you are.
[quote]How can I play the game[/quote] Yeah, we'd like you to be able to play it as well. This is an unusual problem with Impulse that I haven't noticed anyone else posting about. It sounds to me like the game is still installing (since there is a "cancel download" button), but you said that it has already completed. Hrm. Do you have vista? If so, maybe Vista is somehow blocking you from actually installing the game. You can try closing Impulse and then re
It means that the game data files that the two of you have do not match. Make sure that you are both using the most recent version of the game, by using Impulse to update. Also make sure that neither of you have modified any of the data files.
Most people who insist on buying from the store have reported finding a copy at their local Target, but the game is going to be available at other stores too (Best Buy, etc...). Isn't there a Target store at or right by the Orlando Fashion Square Mall? You could probably get it there, or you could just buy it directly from us by going here
[quote]My list: Political Machine 2008, Political Machine.[/quote] Good to see that you liked the first PM well enough to buy PM2008! :CONGRAT: [quote]i can't get impulse to install. Having something to do with changing adminstration privilleges on my comp. But i am the only one using my comp. It was strange. After a couple of tries, i gave up and went back to old SD central.[/quote] Here is a link to a forum for reporting prob
Since you have Windows XP, click on Start->Run, and then type dxdiag where it says "Open:" and press enter. This will bring up the DirectX Diagnostic Tool. There, you can click on the "Display" tab to get info about your video card (Chip type, memory, etc...)
If you installed via Impulse, the manual is located where the game is installed: "Program Files\Stardock Games\The Political Machine 2008\PM2008Manual.pdf". But yeah, the "Read Manual" button should pull up the file for you. Mullin, can you verify that the file DOES exist on your pc by doing a search for the file "PM2008Manual.pdf"? Let us know if it DOES NOT exist. Also, it may be helpful for us to know if you have your games being installed somewhere besides "C:/Progr
If you choose the "download + box" option, you get access to download the game now, plus you get mailed a retail box of the game (which has the game on a cd, etc... - like you would get if you went to a store and bought it).
[quote]Go Lions[/quote] haha.
[quote]the game won't even allow me to tap on the tabs on the side[/quote] What do you mean? [quote]it is stuck in windowed mode.[/quote] if you are unable to turn on Full Screen mode via the options screen, you can change your preferences via the file that we write your settings out to. It's called "prefs.ini" and is located here: "my documents/my games/PolMachine2008/". You can open it with notepad and change "Fullscreen=0" to "Fullscreen=1".
yeah, it gets installed as a .pdf with the game. It's called "PM2008Manual.pdf" and is located here "Stardock Games/The Political Machine 2008/"
It means online multiplayer.
Yodelingdog, You're not going to win much Stardock support for this thread with your anti-red wings pictures and comments. Our office is in Michigan (home of the Red Wings). By the way, the coach you have pictured there (Scotty Bowman) coached the wings to 3 Stanley Cups. And he's still involved in the organization. The wings may have a different coach now, but they won the Cup again this year. This included sweeping Colorado in the 2nd round. Go Avs indee
The next time this happens, go to this location on your computer: "My Documents\My Games\PolMachine2008\Debug.err". Open the Debug.err file, (with notepad), and post the contents of it here so we can hopefully see what is happening. Thanks, C
[quote]we'd like to know what's wrong whether you want and get your refund or not.[/quote] Yeah, so we can fix it. :CONGRAT:
On the "My Games" tab of Impulse, you should see games that you have registration codes for. The games that you have already downloaded will say "Installed" or sometimes "Update Available", and the ones that you can download will say "Available". If you right-click on a game that says "Available" you should be able to select Install. You can also just select the game and press the "Install" button (which is in the lower right-hand corner). If this doesn't solve y
[quote]i just want that one game, and get it to work.[/quote] If you post the contents of your debug.err we can see what your setup is, and also get important game messages that may lead us to a fix for your problems. The "debug.err" file will be located here: "\My Games\PolMachine2008\Debug.err" Thanks, C
Yeah, sorry about the delay in getting the box at your doorstep. You can download the game in the meantime though, via Impulse .
Polyphemus-uk, Could you repost your debug.err file now that you've gotten updated drivers? Be sure to get the contents of the debug.err file right after it crashes, because that file is overwritten each time the game is started. Thanks, C
Maybe someone should start a thread (hint, hint, nudge nudge) that is similar to a poll where people are asked whether or not they'd like to see the Map Editor become available in a future update. If there is enough demand, we could probably convince the boss to let us put it in. It's kind of un-polished right now, so he'd have to allocate some dev time so we can clean it up a bit first.
[quote]all we keep being told is to update drivers and turn things off[/quote] For a lot of users, these steps fix their problems. If it does not for you, then we investigate further to see how we can fix it. We do want you to be able to play our game. Really.
[quote]I just ordered the digital version, but it did not install on my computer. [...]Perhaps it's on my computer but I just don't see it.[/quote] Kaeman, You should get an email soon (if you haven't already) that tells you how to obtain the game. Basically it'll tell you to download Impulse and you'll be able to instantly get the game downloaded and updated, plus access to all updates from that point forward. The game should
You have Corporate Machine and Political Machine, but not Political Machine 2008!?!? What's up with that? lol. Nice list though.
