RE: Changing the In-Game Resolution.

<t> Same here. My display resolution is 2736 x 1824 and size of text etc. set to 200% to be able to clearly see and read the text, icons, etc of the OS and other software.<br/>

The font size switching after loading a scenario is a bit annoying since it changes the UI for the worse. The black ...

RE: SR4 Location?

My updater always says "Unable to download file. An error occurred while trying while trying to open an FTP file."

Checking on ftp.matrixgames.com/pub/CommandModernAirNavalOperations/, I don't see any such file. In the member section of Matrix/Slitherine, there is only SR3.

RE: Game Start-up Time

ORIGINAL: ScottenChi

If my screen saver kicks in or I lock my Win7 PC, DW crashes. [&:]

Fortunately not if you save and exit to the game's main menu before you go AFK.

Loading the Galaxy... Saving the Galaxy

This is probably due to 'autosave' (because my game is now more than the autosave-interval older than before), but should the first thing after loading a game really be that the game is saved?

I didn't notice this before version 1.9.0.3.

RE: Zoom issue

I'm running DW on an Alienware M15x laptop under Win8/64bit without this zoom issue, perhaps because I zoom using the PageUp and PageDown keys.

My old Synaptics driver's 'emulate mouse wheel' feature feels unconfortable and I don't always take a mouse with me.

RE: Inconsistent behaviour with 'Start a New Game' settings

Hi Erik,

You answered faster than I was able to edit my message [;)]

I only have to change Aggression and Pirates each time it seems. All the other changes are saved.

Cheers,

Inconsistent behaviour with 'Start a New Game' settings

<t> I assume that all changed settings should be saved as new default values. Some of them are not. It seems to me that I have to set some (for example Aggression and Pirates on the first page) each time I start a new game. Other settings like Shape, Expansion, etc. are correctly saved.<br/>

RE: CTD when going in standby mode

<t> I would like to never want to hibernate a game, but the loading times of DW do that to me. I'm perfectly fine to load games like Armada 2526 or Panzer Corps several times a day, but DW or Ageod (or Civ5, or Paradox games) games make me nervous if I have to load them too often (I experienced the ...
