Ok cool, I'll just reinstall with the same setup as before. Thanks.

I recently got a new PC, so I reinstalled the game on this PC and simply copied and pasted the old save file over here. While installing, I noticed the new update so I installed that too. It seems fine but I've noticed that I can't access Abaddan (think I spelt that wrong). I have a few fleets there ...

This seems to be about the game running slowly though. I have no performance issues, it runs very smoothly. It's just freezing up intermittently.

<t> I don't know how to post a switch string, I'll do so when I find out.<br/>
<br/>
I only have the basic windows stuff in the background, i.e I run this alone as I would any other game (and I don't have a problem running other, much more intensive games).<br/>
<br/>
I have 16gb ram, I doubt ...

<r> This has happened a couple of times now so I'm looking for solutions. Obviously it's extremely frustrating after doing an hours worth of orders.<br/>
<br/>
The game is just completely freezing. On one occasion, after waiting about 20 seconds, it came back to life, but twice now it's completely ...

<t> Ah I see. And come to think of it, there's no way that the very first install could say something like 'Please update to the latest version' on the opening screen, because at the time, I suppose that WAS the latest version. I guess they could put it somewhere more prominent in the download ...

<t> Ok cheers, this explains it all then. I had no idea that it needed to be manually updated.<br/>
<br/>
On the upside, it's a good thing that I ran into this problem otherwise I probably never would have noticed that I was running a VERY old version. As you say, the download link seems to be the ...

<t> The update has fixed it. Seems odd to me that the initial download link wasn't a link to the latest version. In fact, it seems to have been running the very first version (1.0.0.. something). If the link can't be the latest version and clicking the update.exe is a requirement, this should ...

<t> Ok, reading through other forum posts, the most obvious thing that I'm noticing is that my game probably isn't updated. I bought it a few days ago and installed it and just assumed that that was the latest version, but it seems that I need to manually update it or something? I'm not sure why ...

<t> Thanks.<br/>
<br/>
To clarify, the standard/recommend resolution of my monitor is 1920 x 1200 and that's what my desktop is running at. It also supports 1768 x 992, 1680 x 1050, 1600 x 1024 etc etc (i.e lots of them). It's a relatively new monitor (about 2 years old) and I have an NVidea GTX ...

<t> I know it looks like that, but there isn't actually a space. I noticed that before, it must be the font.<br/>
<br/>
Here's the switches when copy/pasted here.<br/>
<br/>
"D:\Matrix Games\War in the Pacific Admiral's Edition\War in the Pacific Admiral Edition.exe" -w -skipVideo -deepColor ...

<r> So you can see from this screenshot that it's set to the main display, the PC supports 1600 x 1024 and the game is set to run at 1600 x 1024. So this is set correctly?<br/>
<br/>
It's definitely not running at 1600 x 1024 if I boot up.<br/>
<br/>
Something else must be wrong here?<br/>
<br ...

<t> Just to double-check something here, are we saying that it should open in any resolution that my monitor and graphics card can handle? So for example, in my Nvidea panel, I see that 1600 x 1200 is an option for both. So if I set the switches to 1600 x 1200, it should open in that resolution ...

<r> So the problem when trying to apply Kull's advice is that the Intel panel does appear on my PC but I just noticed that it's only setting the secondary monitor and I presume that's because it's only setting the onboard graphics, rather than my main GPU which is an NVidea 1080.<br/>
<br/>
So I ...

Yes, my first reply above, I followed the instructions, including those settings, setting up my monitor and so on, but nothing changed.

I should point out that I've tried all sorts of resolutions that others use. It's just stuck on this tiny setting.

Rebooted, no effect.

These are my switches.

"D:\Matrix Games\War in the Pacific Admiral's Edition\War in the Pacific Admiral Edition.exe" -w -skipVideo -deepColor -cpu2 -px1920 -py1080 -archive -altFont -autosave

<r> I followed those instructions exactly and it worked right up until I loaded the game and once again, it's just running the tiny window. Note that I do have the Intel Graphics Settings and it did allow me to add the custom resolution which was added to list. And 1920x1080 are my settings. I ...

<r> I made a post about this the other day but it eventually seemed solved and I'm not sure if adding a post to my old post will be seen. So apologies if making a new thread was naughty but hopefully it'll be seen [:D]<br/>
<br/>
So to summarise, I can play the game in a window but I only get a ...

Yay. I love deep strategy and I've been fascinated by this theatre ever since playing the old 'Great Naval Battles' games back in the early 90's. Looking forward to this [:D]

Excellent, it doesn't happen on mine, the window disappears and the map is redrawn correctly. Thanks for all the help, looks like I'm ready for a weekend of grognardery [:D]
