  1. Everytime I open it this error pop up appears and the game won’t run (Even if I don’t close the error window)
    I can’t see all the text but I got this:

    SPM ERROR (PopPAram)

    Located: in CLoad_FilterLoadedObjectsByCl
    in Load
    in UI_MAIN

    Called:
    in UI_LOAD
    in INITIALIZE
    in Level_Main

    Called:
    in Level_initialize
    in GaReg_Initialize

    Anyone knows what is this and how to fix it? I would love to play this game again! Thanks!

  3. couple found issues/bugs:
    -This may be a donated game issue, but when riding in the first (Scotland) dressage/showjumping arena, there is random white spaces on the ceiling that droop down and cover your vision for a couple seconds in certain parts of the arena. not a huge gameplay issue, just an annoying pest. no way to fix it as far as I can find and tell, I have tried to turn graphics down, restart game, redownload game, but it might be a missing file. I’m very sure that it’s not a Ubisoft/Lexis Numerique problem because a lot of gameplay videos I have watched, there is no white ‘cloud’ in their games. *UPDATE* I have figured out it is a missing file, but I am not sure what the name of said file is. the “mystery white cloud” is supposed to be sun glare.
    -“Alert for Debug” is a common pop-up window (not just this game, it’s in ALL of these Ubisoft/Lexis Numerique **PC** games. such as, Pippa Funnell, Alexandra Ledermann, Petz Horsez, Champion Dreams, and Imagine games.) that forces the game to close if you try to close the little window. (save your game EVERY TIME you are at the timetable.) it is normal (unfortunately) but nothing will break/corrupt. **This message was talked about in Petz Horsez 2 Steam forums, and they claimed it was a Steam download problem. the ugly truth is, it shows up NO MATTER where you get the game from, it appears on disc as well**
    -Sometimes. the competition announcers speak in French. Overall, there is missing/improperly dubbed dialogue through out every cut scene and every time you talk to someone
    – When doing the quest where you bring Harry a sandwich, instead of the gear icon showing up to indicate you can “use” the sandwich (give it to Harrry), the “no talk” icon appears

  4. I got it to work on Windows 10!
    Once you have downloaded the file, find the “Champion Dreams.exe” Application right click “Run As Administrator” and install it – it might come up with an error screen, exit that – then right click “troubleshoot compaitability” use recommended settings, Test the Program, if it works then click next and “save settings” now when you want to play right click “Champion Dreams.exe” run as admin and should be all good! Thank you!
