<t> UPDATE:<br/>
<br/>
Combat animations now appear in the fully installed 1126a version of the game. The issue was the dd_sw switch in the command line, which was not in my command line originally. The dd_sw switch, therefore, is not simply a matter of video or graphics processing speed - without ...

<t> There is no description in Slitherine's information about how to install this game. I am requesting that now from Slitherine support. <br/>
<br/>
I need to know: <br/>
<br/>
1)Where to get the files. <br/>
2)What the file name is. <br/>
3)What the version number and date of the version ...

the issue is if those animations have disappeared, the game install is compromised.

I've been in the real world military bub. With 14 different version numbers, conflicting dates, and documentation - if it exists at all - for the install process ...

I'm giving up after the 5th attempted installation with the same result. No air combat animations.

<t> This is the base game without 1124. The game was launched from the launcher immediately after install, so the resolution is whatever the default is; the December 8 scenario selected; no orders entered just proceed to execution. <br/>
<br/>
The install base here is just the base game without ...

Install the 1079, then either the 1124 or the 1126a and then the 1126b. <br/>
One of the 1124 or 1126a has to be installed for all the patches before them,<br/>
they are both comprehensive updates, the 1126b is not.

<r> Process: Installed based game file WarinthePacificAdmiralsEdition-SetupRelease-v10079DR. Launched game from launcher. Default to base game full screen resolution. Loaded December 8 scenario as US, immediately ended orders to view combat animations. Air-to-Air combat animations are not populated ...

I usually do, but sometimes it's important to watch them or at least get a handle on the size and quality of forces involved. The issue isn't wanting the combat animations - the issue is if those animations have disappeared, the game install is compromised. I didn't pay for a compromised game.

<t> Back to square 1. Game uninstalled.<br/>
<br/>
Downloaded and installed 1124. No shortcut appeared on desktop. Manually created one. Added switches. Game launch failure "unable to find PW data." No line for uninstall of WITP appears in control panel. Manually deleted all game files. Note: Here ...

<t> I notice in your instructions your first step is to install the 1124 version. If I was to start the whole process over again, which I am going to now (what's 10 or 40 hours to folks like us, am I right?), step 1 would be installing 1124 directly, or installing the base game, then installing 1124 ...

<t> The animations aren't running slow. They aren't there. Yes I have a good command line which took me a couple of hours to develop. [ -SingleCpuOrders -cpu1 -multiaudio -px2048-py1536 -altFont -deepColor -skipVideo -f ] <br/>
<br/>
The "Air Combat" box pops up . . . no airplane images appear ...

<t> Yes, thanks. I updated my earlier post. Followed your instructions, etc. Everything seems to be in order, except the combat animations which no longer populate with images of aircraft or ships (just a blank combat animation box with clouds, no animations whatsoever for air v naval/ground strikes ...

<t> You're like the Colonel Kurtz of WITPAE, aren't you?<br/>
<br/>
Given the version I have, what is the very next step? Not a general description, but what file to obtain, how to apply it, and what version should result. Not the end game, of getting to the unofficial whatever. Because it seems ...

<t> After much fiddling with the switches, what appeared to make an enormous difference was adding -altFont. Literally everything speeded up by about 20x after I added this switch. Appears the new machines, video cards can't deal with the old font from 2009. <br/>
<br/>
Here's my switch line for ...

<r> I downloaded the base version of WITPAE which installs the launcher. On the launcher, there is "Check For Update" button which I activated. This initiates an update process which ultimately requires a machine re-boot to complete. After completing this process, the version number in the game is ...

<r> Are there any clear, step-by-step instructions about how to install this beta? Complete with what files to download and what versions will result? Or is it yet another effort to translate Linear A?<br/>
<br/>
I've a lengthy post about what version I get after a fresh install and what the ...
