Well, got a crash and there were no question marks, unless one popped up in the state I was in. I made it to Week 30 and was whooping up too!

Well, curiosity killed the cat, and apparently so do question marks. I just couldn't resist going after a green question mark and guess what? I had a little ole crash. Please tell me where to send these Smartexception reports to if posting them here isn't okay. When I click on "submit exception report", Smartexception doesn't do anything.

Has anyone else run into the little funny thing... If you go to the "Metaverse" tag, and click on the "Welcome to the Offical Website of The Political Machine! ", you'll be sent to Microsoft.com. Ummm...is this a little strange or what?

Okay, happened again. Looks like it only happens to me when my candidate lands in a state that has a question mark. Still can't seem to transmit a SmartException, so I'll post the report here: Stardock SmartException Logging Information ------------------------------------------- OS Version : Windows XP Video Card : Intel(R) 82845G/GL/GE/PE/GV Graphics Controller Application Exception code: C0000005 ACCESS_VIOLATION Cr

Woohoo!! The new build lets me play the game a bit! I locked up at week 8 but until then, everything was going beautifully! No report from Smartexeception, I couldn't do anything but push the "Reset" button on the PC. I'll try again, but boy, the game was great until it locked up!

This happens to me at the end of Turn 1. I see a little flash in the background of an error message pop up, then the turn button no longer is active. I explain it more fully in the Game Crashes thread.

Brad, sorry for not replying to this earlier...I was busy in RL and then I found the new beta available! I've got Smart Exception installed, but I don't get a report when PM crashes. It just CTDs and that's it. This build is a little bit better, but still not working on my machine. I can now get past the game setup screen (I couldn't even do th

Hi Jeff! Good to see you around! I'm having CTDs every time I try to start a game. I haven't yet been able to play this build yet. I keep hoping the next build will work better...

Oh, bother...CTD when I tried W. Bush/Forbes vs. Kerry/Jackson. Not only did I not get a SmartException report, but my desktop wallpaper disappeared! Not sure what could be causing this CTD... Going to try again.

Reply to Observations from first beta game in Political Machine JoeUser Forums

The opposing candidate moves extremely fast at the start of the turn. I'm not sure if this is a matter of difficulty level (I was at the second easiest level) The result of this is that the opponent gets all the goodie boxes unless the player has really good reflexes... this may not be a factor with more play. <b

Actually, I only get the crash when I try to set up a George W. Bush/Forbes vs. Kerry/Al Gore scenario. Also just had a really nasty crash after I tried to get an endorsement! Oh, well....at least I did finally manage to get a Forbes/Bush Sr. vs. Kerry/Clinton game going. I'm a little bit happier that I'm at least a Republican! <img src="../images/smiles/events.gif" border=0 ALIGN="absmidd

I know...I know...the game is in first beta. But I have WinXP and I'm not trying to play multiplayer, so I should at least be able to see the map! The game crashes right after campaign setup for me. Just tried again and it appears it only crashes if I try to be a Republican. Works just fine for being a Democrat. I hope I will be able to play as a Republican soon...it rea

The Fight Over Recruiting in PC Gaming JoeUser Forums

Recruiting Wars Discussions erupted over the weekend regarding the recent decision to limit recruiting threads and unsolicited recruiting messages in the Metaverse. This topic has been debated in the past but never to this extreme. A decision to form a formal method of recruiting resulted in a mandate which instructed empires as to how and where recruitment should occur. Unfortunately, something got lost in the translation. Many felt the new mandate went too

Departure in PC Gaming JoeUser Forums

The Metaverse was shocked today to learn that Theoden of Rohan, a Councilmember in the Fellowship of the Ring empire, had decided to strike out on his own and find his own way. Sources close to the Fellowship say Theoden had been planning a departure for a while, but did so under extreme regrets. It has been learned that Theoden obtained colony materials from the Fellowship in order to spread the ideals of the One Ring to all the galaxy. In a farewell message to Theoden, Emperor Ray the Wanderer
