Re: Now I remember...

I do love this game, play it almost every day (winter)... It does get me worked up though on occasion. Probably a good idea to step away every so often and take a break. Trying to overwhelmingly hurt and ultimately defeat the Japs can be quite stressful. I just need to persevere in the meantime whil...

Now I remember...

Now I remember why I had stopped playing this game a dozen or so years ago. Frustration and annoyance. A few examples below while playing as the allies on the Dec 7th surprise attack scenario. Jap computer player. Allied destroyers and light cruisers, transports, cargos, etc., only require one jap t...

Re: At Wits End...

I'm not showing smoke/damage at all, I think I remember this being a file download along with maps, planes and ship artwork? Looking for easy to understand instructions on where/how to install some of these, afraid I'll really screw things up. Some of the sites I used to visit, Spookys and Andrew Br...

Re: At Wits End...

I've got the game working fine, full screen on my gaming monitor at its highest resolution. Thanks again for all the help! The game runs crazy slow during the computer-generated night air raids, and I can't use the close button on the combat views during this period as well. But as soon as the night...

Re: At Wits End...

Is the Seabee utility program still supported? I tried downloading it several days ago and I couldn't get it to download? Thanks

Re: At Wits End...

Yes. I looked at the short cut again and now I see that I screwed up when I removed -dd_sw, I had left two spaces between the - and multiaudio. Still no sound though. I wish there was a thread on the forum that lays out all the switches and an explanation of what it does. At some point I'll have to ...

Re: At Wits End...

I removed the dd_sw switch from my shortcut and I can now end my turn and quit the game. Thank you. However, I have no sound now... are the two possibly connected? If I ctrl/alt/del and go to task manager, the sound returns until I close task manager without ending the game, silence again.

Re: At Wits End...

This game really tests your patience... for some reason now, I cannot exit the game or end my turn. Just hangs up. I can hit esc key on my keyboard after attempting to end my turn or exit the game and it will basically return me to my turn. I have to hit ctrl/alt/delete to take to me to task manager...

Re: At Wits End...

It works! I have to leave the laptop open but I can now pick monitor 2 in settings which is the gaming monitor. I cannot run the game in the gaming monitor's highest resolution which is 2560x1440 for some reason, the game screen is distorted and not centered. I get full wide screen using 1600x900. N...

Re: At Wits End...

I opened the laptop while still connected to the gaming monitor and the game started fine. Going into settings it now identifies two monitors. The game's screen size is the same on both monitors - quite small, but centered and nothing cut off the screen... So having the laptop closed is part of the ...

Re: At Wits End...

Thanks everyone for the suggestions and identifying any switch corrections. I added the f to the resolution switch but it is still not working... I checked the windows monitors in the settings-system-display and it is recognizing only one display - not identifying the second display. Multiple attemp...

Re: At Wits End...

I was afraid of that. Since my other games work without any issue with the large gaming monitor, I'm not sure I want to play it on the smaller laptop screen at this point. Spoiled, I guess. Thanks for the suggestions.

At Wits End...

Hi - I've owned WITP-Admirals Edition since it was released. I haven't installed/played it though in 10 years. I reinstalled it today, as well as the last update. I guess I am getting stupider as I get older because I am not able to run the game... I am using the following executable that I slapped ...

Resolution fix

<t> Hi - I recently purchased Close Combat Panthers in the Fog and cannot figure out how to run it on my laptop at 1024x768 and get full screen? My laptop is very high resolution supporting up to 2516x1440. Viewing at that resolution is way too small to see the men - impossible to play it. If I chan...
