I had the Plato MFC error twice. Both times when in the treaties window when I clicked on the button to review my treaty. I have winxp, 256 RAM, GeForce4 mx420, with Directx 9.0c on an HP Pavilion 182K desktop. Both times I had my virus program turned off.

Plato MFC error for me during a big detail battle, bloody irritaiting!
Kept getting a faint square picture behind the chits that were in action.

Ditto another Plato MFC error, this time in the middle of a wonderful battle. Too bad, because as the Turks, I was finally getting the better of the Austrians on the second day of the battle. I'm eager for this crash bug to get fixed because so far this game is exactly what I wanted...

Can someone please reply and attach this file? I have reloaded the game 3 times. Twice with everything turned off and keep getting screen problems like the one here.

And this one...

Look at the post of Wombat above in the same thread. He described there a similar problem he had and how he solved that. (Wombats post from 6/30/2005 9:38:35 PM)

Maybe that helps.

Good luck !

sAME PLATO ERROR WHILE PLAYING AS fRANCE IN dETAILED cOMBAT

That looks like my screen did. You might want to check the DPI setting (See the thread regarding graphics error on p700 under XP).

I also received the MFC error discussed during the start of the decond day of a detailed battle. I run a Radeon 9700 Pro (another ATI card).

Get the Plato MFC error regularly, though not every time, when I end the game. Played one detailed battle so far, which crashed part way through, though I didn't note the error code for that.

Aaarrrrghhhhhh!
probably about 2 hours of my life wasted. Another plato crash whilst in a detailed battle. I have an ATI 9800 radeon pro. Noticed at each attack a small square graphic tries to appear. It looks like an oil painting representation of a charging horse when using cavalry. Can't see it though.
Please get this sorted. It's ruining the game.[:@]

I've had a couple of similar sightings of a graphic trying to appear - to me it looked like two women in bathing costumes, though that may just be a product of my lurid imagination.[X(] It doesn't fully materialise, and I'm not sure that its linked to the MFC problem. The problem with detailed combat crashing is to me the major one, though I've no doubt that the team will crack it. For the moment I'm occupied enough figuring out the game mechanics with the manual and the Ralegh guides.

I've crashed during Detailed Combat with the "plato MFC" error over a dozen times now. I can't get past Jan. 1806.

I'm now really pissed, and feel that I've wasted $50.00 on something I can't play....

Use the quick battles for now. That's what I'm doing.

You can play and get through a whole game that way just fine. So no waste of 50 bucks.

Austria just Surrendered, and got another "plato MFC" error. It wasn't during a Detailed Battle. "Quick Battle" losses are huge. I like to use the Detailed Battle option. Besides, I shouldn't have to use the Quick Battle Option.

I find it very frustrating that this hasn't come up during testing...

Might be interesting to hear from anybody who has played a fair amount and NOT had the Plato MFC error, with details of their system. It might help to pinpoint the problem, I've installed a copy of the game from my back-up CD to my laptop PC (Integrated Extreme graphics) and unlike with my desktop (Nvidia) on very limited play haven't had the crash yet. Get fairly washed-out colour, though.

I have been playing nearly non-stop since release and have only had this happen once. And my system is not at all remarkable - P4 3Ghz w/ Radeon 9700 Pro.

That fixed it! Thank you sir.

Also had a Plato MFC error on detailed combat using ATI-X800pro Card.

I got the same error, 3 times in a row on the same battle, Plato MFC App has caused an error that needs to be shut down !

(quick battles are fine, when they are small, not a good idea in a major battle)

83 K Russia vs 96 K French, which the AI reinforces the battle (and Prussia just surrendered !!!!)

I got a Nvida 6800 GTO

was able to make it though the turn with all quick battles
