Now, noticiting that this is a WinHttp error, I turned off my firewall/antivirus software, but that only decreases the debug.err dump by about from 23kb to 13kb. Anyone else have this problem?

When does this occur? Does it happen every single time?

Oops, I thought I had a line there, explaining it.

Everytime after I select the AI to be my opponent and click on confirm to start the game. The game goes to the loading screen with both presidential hopefuls with the "Loading..." prompt, but then crashes right to the desktop. Task Manager does not show the process thread, so its a complete crash.

MichMAK2 and Tonyg1kk,

Please post the entire contents of your debug.err file.

Tonyg1kk,

It can be opened with notepad and is located here: "documents/my games/polMachine2008/debug.err". The file will have general system information as well as game messages that can help us diagnose what is happening.

Same thing is happening to me. The beginning comes up, you can create a character and do all sorts of things, but as soon as you go into start playing the game...the screen goes black. Here is my entire debug file.

cgscub,

Your video drivers are almost 2 years old. Running old video drivers can cause all kinds of problems that would otherwise not exist, especially when running demanding programs such as games. Check Intel's website for a driver update for your video card. If you need help, let me know.

After you get it updated, restart your pc and then try the game again. If you still have problems, post the contents of your new debug.err file because it gets overwritten each time you run the game.

My first post is the entire debug.err file.

Not sure what I did exactly, but messing around with the in-game settings and some ATI settings I got the game semi-stable. Now it randomly locks up in-game, with the colors fading to black(Not sure how to describe it). That might be a temperature issue though.
