Now this is interesting. I disabled "Show Pre-release (beta) versions" and tried again, and it worked this time. Might work for some of you guys. Edit: hmm. Maybe I spoke too soon. Sitting at "100% complete" on "Downloading: gc2.sdc" and never stops.

Mild bump, here, since I never actually got an answer!
Actually, I have to agree. This should be one of the first new feature considerations for any updates.
I guess my point is that while I can see Florida, Illinois, Texas, and California all going for Bush I, it'd be some amazing set of circumstances to split *all* of Illinois, New York, California, and Illinois for Republicans if Florida, Texas, and, say, Ohio went for Democrats. I see your point; New York went for Dukakis, while California and Illinois went for Bush I; thing is, looking at Dukakis's performance, it was remarkable that he even g
I'm afraid I have another one-off issue, and it doesn't actually cause an exception to be thrown, so I can't give you guys anything like that. I'm playing as George W. Bush in Campaign Mode, and am up to Bill Clinton; he whooped my butt the first time, and when I went to play the second time, he just stayed in Arkansas and didn't use any of his stamina po
JoshuaN, can you please try running with the command line parameter debug and then send me your debug.err file? CariElf, how can I find your e-mail address? While playing in Campaign Mode as George W. Bush, I was in the third rung - Dick Gephardt -- and had just won. In the summary screen,
Welllll... I think that also assumes playing at "Normal" level; I've won with Clark taking Texas and Ohio, but not California and Illinois. While I could see this potentially happening, it would be _very rare_ for a Republican to piss off those two states enough while also not losing California and Illinois. Part of the reason why if an election is a landslide, it's a _landslide_
Hey guys, I noticed while poking around that in PolMachine/data, there's a PMIssueEditor.exe and PMQuestionEditor.exe; after downloading the requisite dlls, I see that it's possible to at least add questions. Now, that's cool! If I were to take some time to actually add questions, and wanted to submit them to you guys, how would you want to receive it? Assuming you want to get any questions at all, of course!

What I had to do, Calin2, is actually take the Drengin.net key, copy it, and paste it into the Political Machine's serial key section (through the dropdown); maybe that will work for you? It was non-intuitive; I figured that drengin.net's key would apply automagically everywhere.
Ok, so after Memorial Day weekend I've had a little bit of time to work on playing the game a bit. Let it be said that I'm lovin' this game, even though I despair of anyone ever making a political simulation that I'll actually adore. I think I want it to be too realistic. I've been playing as Wesley Clark in Campaign Mode, and I've gotten up to Ronald Reagan. (Well, "Regan" here
I wish I had the time Aaron has; sadly, this has been a brutal several weeks for me. However, I noticed at least one significant bug while playing in Campaign mode last time around, and I can't imagine that it doesn't exist in the other modes either. (This applies only to Beta 4; I haven't had a chance to play Beta 4a yet) - When buying political capital, if you have only 2 free time left, there is a bug in the game that allows you t
You're completely correct, FB -- it worked just fine (excepting, of course, some errors that are to be expected, and which I'll focus on more later) when I gave it time to load the textures. Beautiful game, by the way. I played on cakewalk, and romped Bush's butt, as it would be expected. Ah, fantasy!
Thanks so much for your responses, Boogie -- I am indeed looking forward to this! Of course, I have the misfortune of having Windows2000, so sigh, I guess I'll have to wait until next week. I thought that I could slip by and try it out anyway even though Brad said that it would only work with XP, but yep! Black screen, pretty cursor, nothin' else. Good luck!
I definitely understand that it's not GalCiv, but I also hope that it's not just a (much) prettier version of other political games out there. There's some worries that I have, mainly having to do with numbers being used a lot when I think they would be better off hidden, but I will have ample opportunity to report bugs and suggestions when the beta comes out today, so I'm not worried. <img src="../images/smiles/smile.gif" border=0 ALIGN="absmid
Free Republic. Really, need I say more?
BTW, we're using DesktopX to build the interface. Nice plug, all the more so because the interface is unbelievably pretty. I'm quite impressed. I also like how this really is looking like it's going to be a part of the "Corporate Machine" lexicon of your games. As I enjoyed TCM (and oh, how I wish that y
The term "red states" and "blue states" (and now "purple states") are in our lexicon. Whew. However: Purple? Huh?
Seeing as how I'm practically champing at the bit for this game, would it be possible to get a quick update on the status of it (as well as, perhaps, when the beta will start, etc) from the developers?
Actually, you can pretty much blame Gephardt and Dean's lack of oiliness for his downfall; in Iowa, Gephardt kept up a constant stream of attack against Dean in every matter imaginable, and Dean got prickly over it. That, and the constant overplay of the "Dean Scream", which *was* disturbing, but only mildly, undid the man. Kerry got picked as the default candidate. And he's not bad; not spectacular, not impressive, but not W. And for most De
