[quote]What the hell, this is an easy game, it is an easy game to program and put together.[/quote] You were not here in the office when we were all pulling overtime for months trying to finish this game, so please DO NOT make assumptions about our jobs and how easy they are. [quote]i have to download some Stardock Central just so i can use these forums[/quote] You don't have to download Stardock Central just to use the forums. The forums can be used by anyone simp

The map editor is not hooked up. So even though you might have seen the graphics pack for the screen, there is no way currently to access it.

[quote]Can you edit these files and still play multiplayer?[/quote] No. Although, (if I remember correctly) I think we do allow it if the person you are playing against has the same version of the files.

[quote]but mostly I played some "real" games with my friends: Poker, Euchre[/quote] Euchre is awesome! Whenever my wife and I have a couple friends over we always try to get a game going.

Well here is a cheap one for $24.99 that will work.

My wife's younger brother spent the weekend at our house. So I entertained him (my excuse to get some gaming time) by playing GH2 and Rockband with him on my 360. I also spent some time on the Political Machine 2008 forums, but didn't actually get a chance to play a round of the actual game. Maybe one of these weeknights I'll be able to get on and play some multiplayer. I have several games sitting in my stack (both PC and 360) that I have barely even touched. One of these days

nice!

Kaeman, you don't have to post the same question in multiple threads in order to get an answer. You can use Impulse to download the game.

Kaeman, you don't have to post the same question in multiple threads in order for us to see it. As your confirmation email probably states, you can use Impulse to download the game.

[quote]I bought the game and got the confirmation. But where is the game?[/quote] Kaeman, You can download the game digitally by using Impulse . It should say that in the email.

You can actually get a card that supports this 5-year old technology (Shader 2) pretty cheap these days. Like say this one , for $24.99.

That's weird, Gateway is your computer's manufacturer! You tried the driver I linked you to?

[quote]I hate having to install more software just to d/l and install games. Irritating.[/quote] After you install impulse once, you'll be able to download updates for the game, as well as any other game that you can get from us, and other vendors (more being added all the time). There are also other apps besides games. And a bunch of other features besides just downloading and installing apps. With more features in the works. Stay tuned, we'll make it worth stic

hrmm, weird. Can you post your new debug.err for us? now that you have the new driver. Also, you can play with Full Screen off and Hardware Mouse on, and see if that helps, either or both. Turning off both "Map Glow" and "Character Outlines" can also help performance.

[quote]DivineWrath: are you saying that Boogiebac may be trying to steal credit for your post, and Charles's work?[/quote] [quote]BoogieBac: Whenever I can get away with it[/quote] You Bastard! haha, jk. Actually, DivineWrath, just because one person posts a change log doesn't mean that they made all the changes listed in it. In fact, they are almost never the only person to have made the changes. :HOT:

[quote]It seems like a video problem, but being the computer hardware novice that I am...I need some help...[/quote] Instead of giving you a fish, let's see if I can teach you to fish (ie. look for updates to your driver) [quote]Operating System: Windows XP Professional (5.1, Build 2600) Service Pack 2 System Manufacturer: Dell Computer Corporation System Model: Dimension 4500S Card Name: Intel(R) 82845G/GL/GE/PE/GV Graphics Controller Manufacturer: Intel Corporation

Bear with us Josh. You haven't mentioned whether or not you had updated your video drivers (as was suggested). I took the liberty of finding the exact ones you need. Here's a link to the drivers . I just went to GateWay's website and picked your system out of the dropdown menus. Download the drivers and give the game anot

When you run the game, a file gets written out to "\My Documents\My Games\PolMachine2008". The file will be called "Debug.err" and it is overwritten each time you run the game. The file can be opened with notepad. Can you post the contents of the file here so that we can take a look at what might be happening. We'll try to get you up and running asap. Thanks, ~C

You can get PM2008, and a number of other games and apps with our free app and download manager, Impulse .

[quote]I can not find the anti-aliasing option[/quote] It's actually called "Multi-sampling" on the options screen.

Yeah, looks like your drivers are old. [quote]Manufacturer: NVIDIA Chip Type: GeForce FX 5700 Ultra Driver Date: 8/2/2005 16:35:00[/quote] Here's a link to a newer driver (May 16, 2008) for your GeForce FX 5700 Ultra. If you follow the link it'll take you to the download page for the drivers. Click the "Products Supported" tab and you'll see that your exact video card is listed.

If you give a speech or create an ad "against" a topic, then naturally your position would become a bigger negative number. In this case, the topic is "High Gas Prices". So everytime you say you are against the topic, you'll get a bigger negative number - indicating that you are REALLY against it.

Definitely get an update for your video driver. [quote]Debug Message: Error flipping back buffer to primary buffer. Debug Message: Device lost[/quote] Something happened when these two lines were written, most likely an Alt+Tab or the game lost focus because you clicked on another program perhaps. Another thing you can do, in addition to getting new drivers, is to turn Full Screen Mode off in the game options. Running in non-full screen allows you to click on

[quote]the game is pretty good[/quote] Thanks. And sorry to hear that you had such a hard time getting it to install. We haven't had anyone reporting that type of issue so far.

there's a couple of us on right now if you wanna try.
