Solved the problem
In windows 11, the game directory had this location
C:\Users\Username\ OneDrive \Documents\My Games\The Operational Art of War IV

I uninstalled Onedrive by saving my personal files from documents and then made a new windows account
After reinstalling, the game started working ...

What is your fix for the graphic overlay?
Sorry my answer a bit confusing, Didn't 'sort' it, it was just that changing to standard text contrast also got rid of the overlay problem, or the background now gone (letters only now) just didn't run into it so no conflict.

If the text was larger ...

#1 In the Editor Text Contrast has been set to "Maximum". Recommend that you try "Standard" or "Highlight".
#2 That's a problem with the Hugh graphics overlay. Maybe it will be cleaned up in a future update.

Options->Text Contrast->Standard did the trick, thanks a mill! Also sorted out the ...

This is just WOW! A whole new level in graphics for TOAW, thanks! A couple of Qs on the below pic with Opart 4 fonts.ini parameters (TextColor=0x00FF00- green- just to track easily on screen!)- I used Ardennes 44 scenario to test:

1) How to remove the grey background, tried everything but is this a ...

Also in Case White and since it's also a text bug, in the BRIEF tab under Victory and VICTORY CONDITIONS it says: "There is a total of 58 VP (victory points) on the map." but under the S.MAP tab for REGIME it counts 40 for Poland and 19 for Germany, total 59.

Checking the map using towns in S.MAP ...

There is a somewhat 'kludgey' (depending on PoV) solution for this. Go to OOB Tab, select OOB at left, make sure you've 'AIR' and 'NON-FRONTLINE UNITS' checked, then select your Army Group, it should show Air Units assigned to that AG. Clicking on an air unit should then centre the map on its ...

The time has come, all must go. Board wargames dating form late 70s through to early 90s. Most are magazine games but there are some boxed.

I've no one to leave them too, all my off spring (kids and grand kid) show no interest in military history, history full stop for that matter which is really ...

To be fair, this game was released in 2010. Not sure you are going to get any official support 12 years after the fact.
Sorry to raise this from the dead, but just bought this to test the series (may get DC: Ardennes later) and still outstanding. I know we're in 2024 now but there was an update ...

There a a few things wrong here. The first and most important is that the minimum screen resolution is 1024 x 768, that is why the bottom is cut off.
If your switches are incorrect and can not be used, the program will revert to its basic resolution of 1024 x 768.
I did read it and thanks, but ...

OK, Eureka! Finally sorted. Just typing my previous post I dimly recalled something as I typed 1368x768, and just after reading https://www.matrixgames.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=10683&t=328386&hilit=125%25+scaling where it says "To have any effect x must be greater than 1024 and y must be greater ...

Thanks guys, tried these too. And going up and down the available resolutions. No joy, needs a certified Surface Pro 4 Master who plays WitP to sort this, and they'd be few and far between. It's caught up in the scaling issues to do with the Surface Pro line, works fine on my Dell laptop @ 1368x768 ...

See if hitting [WIN] and Tab, then selecting the game helps. Try changing your px and py numbers to the computer's default if that does not work.

Remember, you can still get to the ground units by opening the base and then going to the ground units or by selecting the ground units on the lower ...

I hear you bro, but I powered through that already and way past sundown here now. WitP's GUI seems to have me beat, may have to switch games:

The problem with the missing lines at the bottom is the very top part of your picture showing the windows information.

Eliminate that and the bottom rows should show up.

Cheers.

Thanks. Yes, if I move the window up a little I can see another of the missing lines for Pearl Harbor ...

Thanks to all for comments and apologies for typos! It was all good to go, typos crept in after hours spent fruitlessly modifying to try to get a screen fit. A few comments:

1) Path is correct, I've got the install on D drive and path correct- also running latest exe (1.8.11.27.2).
2) -nofire is on ...

Trying to get WitP AE to fit in a maximized Window in a Surface Pro 4 so I can easily Alt-TAB to other apps, including the Game Manual.

Using Game Manual p11 1.2.1 Command Line Switches, I'm trying: "D:\Games\WitP (AE)\War in the Pacific Admiral Edition.exe" -SingleCpuOrders –multiaudio –dd_sw ...

Look at the equipment in the sub-units. Could be some got more motorized equipment than others, which might change MPs used.
