<t> Thats cool!<br/>
<br/>
I wonder why there is so little info about SP3online available on the net?<br/>
<br/>
Just FYI: SP3online runs nicely with the d3d windower program. You need to point it to Mech.exe and fill in the command line argument "direct" (without the quotes) in the command line ...

<r> So interesting historicaly I think. Also might be still playable today. Although by todays standards SP3online is quite outdated and lacks alot of the improvements made in SPWaW and the Camo Workshops games. Graphics leave alot to be desired too and would benefit from some modding. It does ...

<r> SP3 online runs at 640x480 resolution. SPWaW increased the resolution to 800x600. SP3 online is not limited to WW2. It has a timeline covering the years 1939-1999. So for example Vietnam battles are possible.<br/>
<br/>
An interesting possibility would be to modify SP3online to make use of ...

<r> Lately I have been playing around with SP3 online. It does work on my XP machine although it runs wery fast. The scrolling is way too quick. So I use CPUGrabber to slow down my computer enough for it to be playable.<br/>
<br/>
Unlike SPWaW there is no option to slow down the scroll speed in ...

<r> Anyone remember Steel Panthers 3: Online?<br/>
<br/>
It was suplied with the Campaign disk add-on for Steel Panthers 3. Steel Panthers 3 itself was a DOS game, but the online part was for Windows. It is basicaly the same as SPWaW minus the singleplayer Campaigns. It even has Mech.exe file. So ...

<t> Then it can't be a problem related to multicore CPU's either. Thats a bummer.<br/>
<br/>
I know someone who has the artillery screen problem on his Windows 7 laptop. I'll have to try and see if he will let me mess with he's computer. [:)]<br/>
<br/>
I strongly believe though that it is ...

<r> The artillery screen bug is due to modern computers multicore CPU's most likely. Although it might also be due to some other compatibility issue.<br/>
There are ways to tell Windows to run a exe file in single core affinity though this can be tricky sometimes... <br/>
<br/>
There is another ...

<r> So you press the Print Screen button to get a screenshot from the game, but all you get are horrible scrambled colors.<br/>
<br/>
Well there is actualy a build-in fix for this too in Windows.<br/>

<r> Killing explorer.exe in Windows Vista/7 to fix the color palette while running a game like SPWAW is not really the best possible solution. For one thing you may have problems restarting explorer. Secondly you can not multi task. I.e minimize spwaw and use email, etc.<br/>
