Parallels is virtual machine software for Macs. Allows one to run Windows on Macs (opening up a lot of PC games for example).

If you a running a straight up Windows machine, my solution won't apply to you. Good luck!

I run CoH under Parallels using Windows 7. Matrix help desk tried to do something but didn't come up with much. I tried to reinstall Parallels Tools and after doing that it worked perfectly.

When I launch I get the following:<br/>

A 1.2GB patch?!

o Added "Board Game Style Maps" and "Giant Maps" preference which allows the original ATB firefights to be played with board game style maps.

Hasn't this always been a feature?

I don't use giant-sized boards and my maps are still sharp.

<r> Yeah, that doesn't look right to me. I booted up in low-res mode, set graphics to lowest settings (not sure that matters for boardgame-style maps) and it was sharper for me:<br/>

You'll see example where it differs from the board game ...

I was unaware of this game until a few days ago. Sounds very interesting, but I'd like to try it first. Is a demo forthcoming?

Cheers

Good to hear. Single or multi-player?

is anyone still playing this game on a regular or semi-regular basis? (Outside of Jamm . . . [:)])

I've been thinking of running another tourney or starting a ladder but I'm not sure I'd get anyone.

Can anyone restore my faith here?

Just got GD today. My vids are half size too.

Reinstalling Parallel Tools seemed to do the trick. Who knew though, right?

Cheers

Hi Eric

Any further ideas on this?

Thanks

<t> Thanks Eric<br/>

I played around with a few settings but to no avail. I'm running Windows 7 via Parallels and haven't had much problems in the past. Here's the DxDiag results:<br/>

No worries.

Now if we could get an online community going for th game, all would be right with the world.

<r> Upon launch, I am confronted with this screen:<br/>

<r> Are you sure about that?<br/>

Here's a shot of the physical board 1st (on right) vs. 2nd ed board (on left) #4:<br/>

Aren't the maps already the 2nd ed maps? What else is there?
