I just updated my video card driver, installed the latest version of DirectX I could find, and set my virtual memory to the max that my OS would allow. It is still crashing.

Okay I just updated to the latest available version: 1.03.027 I know for a fact that the ATI Mobility Radeon X300 supports Shader 2.0. (I looked up the specs) I have 2GB of RAM I have installed Riva Tuner. The game is still crashing at the same spot. I still can't play it. Do you guys have any more ideas? Thanks, Kriznak8

Thanks for your suggestion. I just created a post with the debug info. Post Title: I can't play the game! It isn't working. -Kriznak8

I can't play the game. It is not working. I can load the game. I can choose a candidate that I want to play as and click start. As soon as the game starts the loading process of the head to head match against another candidate, the game fails, the screen goes black, and I get a Windows program error. Please help. I would really like to start playing this game. Debug Info: Debug Message: Version 1.00 last updated on: Fri May 30 14:12:06 2008 Debug Mess

The game is not working for me at all and I need some help!!! I am having issues trying to play too and I am stumped. I don't know what to do. The game is just not working. The game starts. Allows me to create a player or choose a player. When I click start and it starts loading a head to head match between me and another candidate, it goes to black screen and I get a windows program failure error.
