Re: Forced to new Laptop Win 11, need to move game

New observation. I'm 6 turns into a new campaign. Noticred that clicking on Disband TF button called up the Yes or No window but nothing happened when clicking on Yes as well as No. Appeared frozen. Pressing the Esc key closed the window. The game continues with no issues.

New behavior - clicking ...

Re: Forced to new Laptop Win 11, need to move game

Thank you for the detailed response. I will look into it.

Big surprise tonight. It occured to me that my typewriter slideshow background has been working while running the game. I turned off the slideshow (change photo every minute) and (fingers crossed) no drop out has appeared since.

Continuing ...

Re: Forced to new Laptop Win 11, need to move game

Update.

I deleted the *-dd_sw* switch and fired it up. With that deletion, the white text on bright pink background returned throughout. However, continuing into the game, a few moves of the mouse and a few clicks around the map were unmarred by a switch to desktop. Hmm.

Next experiment, set up ...

Re: Forced to new Laptop Win 11, need to move game

Thanks for the suggestions. I had included the *-f* switch. It appears that I too have one of those laptops (HP Probook 450 G10, 15.6 screen) that can't or (won't?) run the game in full-screen. Hmm.

Current switches: -pxf1919 -pyf1080 -dd_sw -deepColor -archive -w

Laptop display recommended: 1920 ...

Re: Forced to new Laptop Win 11, need to move game

Thank you for the responses.

Turned on *Automatic Hide of Taskbar*. Helped a bit...not as sensitive to flipping to desktop. Mouse pip location on game screen triggering the flip appears random. Living with it at the moment as I add Allies Set-Up orders.

Further suggestions are welcome.

Re: Forced to new Laptop Win 11, need to move game

Good news!

I finally have my new laptop with Win 11. I started with the basic game and ran the updates in order.
After some ups and downs, I configured my shortcut settings/switches to have it run well but for one thing.

As I move the mouse within the game, sometimes I get dumped out to my ...

Forced to new Laptop Win 11, need to move game

Hello,

Been gone quite a while. I have to reconstitute WiTP AE to a new Win 11 laptop. Old laptop (Win 10) drive unavailable at the moment - tech working to see if he can reboot it. Playing my 8th full campaign/1 day turns. I have been playing almost 8 years. Probably have to start over. Hope not ...

RE: Info for Newb's

Greetings...ready to take the plunge with a GC. Can someone confirm that the "(Quiet China)" notation indicates that the China theater is not active for the player and AI? I did not see any mention of it in the Scenario introduction. Thanks.
