Re: Playing DW2 on Apple's Bootcamp?

So I've spent some hours on it and I find that DW2 cannot find my display adapter. That is why it doesn't open.

I actually found it: Parallels display adapter (WDDM). I mean it exists, it's there.

Now the only problem I have is how to teach DW2 to find it. I have no idea.

I tried submitting a ...

Re: Playing DW2 on Apple's Bootcamp?

Dear RClive,

Thanks for the idea. I will read Resolution Madness and see what I can do. I know I have a problem with Parallels in general, that it insists on reverting to a screen resolution of 4096 x 2304. Every time I open it, I have to change it manually to a friendlier resolution, usually 2560 ...

Re: Playing DW2 on Apple's Bootcamp?

Thank you for the offer, but I am not computer savvy. I can wait for the developers/techs to catch up to this issue, if it is one of not finding my graphic adapter thingamajig. My point is, I can't find it either; I don't know where to look.

This is why I traded my PC for Macs fifteen years ago. I ...

Re: Playing DW2 on Apple's Bootcamp?

I uninstalled and reinstalled, hoping it would take less time to load the game. Now, however, it won't start. It won't load the game at all.

Re: Playing DW2 on Apple's Bootcamp?

Yes. At first, it was very difficult to get it to run. Then it would run, but there were side issues.

The main issue was the jerking picture. Since I posted, I've become aware that it's apparently a video card problem? I had a bit of it with DWU, but I could live with it; a bit like watching an old ...

Playing DW2 on Apple's Bootcamp?

Does anyone play DW2 on an iMac using Bootcamp? I ask because I have an iMac; I play a number of Matrix games easily using Parallels Desktop, but DW2 doesn't run well there. It requires more than Parallels can provide for games.

DWU is playable on both Bootcamp and Parallels virtual desktop, with ...

PBEM

The latest official update does not provide for play by email. I'm given only three options: AI, Head to Head, and Netplay.

How can I play this game via email? OR: Please restore the PBEM option when starting a new game.

RE: Newbe questions.

<t> I bought MWIF years ago, but today I updated it to play an email game with a friend in a distant city who also owns the game. <br/>
However, I now find that PBEM is not an option. You can play the AI, play via the net, or play head to head.<br/>
<br/>
What happened to PBEM? Or is there a new ...

Waterloo Series

<t> I've installed the Waterloo Series game, and sad to see it has only one tutorial. This is less than helpful.<br/>
<br/>
Also, disappointed that I cannot download the manual to .pdf; apparently in packaging all the Waterloo Series games together they saved space by skimping on things I really ...
