White Screen Of Doom...

from PolMach Forums

Why is it that when I start up my game, instead of the opening movie (i assume it's the opening movie) is a white screen. And when I get to the main menu, all i see is a white screen with some of the options across the right side of the screen. Is this my video card or what?

Most likely. This generally means that your video card does not support directx9 completely, and if that is the case, then you are likely eligible for a refund if you'd rather not (or can't) get a new video card.

To confirm if your video doesn't meet the specs, please post the contents of the debug.err file from My Documents\My Games\PolMachine2008.

Hey,


I'm getting the same problem as well (the whole white screen thing). This is odd, because my machine happily runs the latest form of Dawn of War, which also insists on full DX9 compatibility.......

 

anyways, here's the error log thingy:

The SiS 760 is actually a Directx8.1 chipset based on the Mirage 2 GPU, so it does indeed lack the required Shader Model 2 support that PM08 requires.

Ah, right. Lame.

 

Anything I can do about that? Short of buying a new card (which, because I'm on the lappy, probably means buying a new computer........)

 

Thanks for the help!

Sadly, no. It's a hardware feature, and on all but a few rare few laptops the graphics are built right into the motherboard, so there's really no way for that machine to run the game.

Card Name: VIA/S3G UniChrome Pro IGP
End of quote

UniChrome is based on ProSavage, which also does not support Shader Model 2, AFAIK, sorry.

Yes, I'd also like to find out what's wrong with my computer and why it won't let the game work.  I've gone into the comp. and it says I have DirectX 9.0c, so I should think it would work.  Can you guys help me out? Thanks

Yes, I'd also like to find out what's wrong with my computer and why it won't let the game work. I've gone into the comp. and it says I have DirectX 9.0c, so I should think it would work. Can you guys help me out? Thanks

NCSt8Fan,

The game's requirements are as follows as mentioned here ( https://www.politicalmachine.com/game/purchase ):

  • Windows XP/Vista - Windows XP 64-bit is not supported.
  • 1 GHz Processor
  • 512 MB Free System RAM
  • 64 MB DirectX 9.0c 3D Video Card
  • 1 GB Hard Drive Space
  • DirectX 9.0c
  • Internet connection required for multiplayer and updates.

So even though you can install directX 9.0c, it doesn't mean you have a directX 9.0c-compatible card.  Specifically, the feature our game uses is a tech called "Pixel Shader 2.0".  Looking at the Intel website, your card (Intel 82845) is listed as NOT supporting pixel shader 2.0.

I'm sorry, but even if you meet every other game requirement, unless you replace your video card, you will not be able to play the game.

what is the problem here?!

NVIDIA GeForce4 MX 4000

Xerotti,

Sorry, but your card is also too old to run the game.  It does NOT support Pixel Shader 2.0 or DirectX 9.0c.  You'd have to have at least an NVidia Geforce FX for pixel shader 2.0, but in NVidia's case, you'd need GeForce6 or higher for full DirectX 9.0c compatibility, as indicated in the chart here ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pixel_shader#Hardware ).

It's a bummer, but yeah, your card is the problem.

Can you let me know how to claim a refund since I believe I have the same issue as previous entries?
