Re: Text is Blurry and Difficult to Read

For me, with display resolution of 2560X1440, the only solution for the blurry text is to go to my display settings and lower by display resolution. Kinda a pain.

tutorial?

It looks like there's no tutorial that comes with this release. Disappointing for new players.

When I try to run TIGERS, resolution error

When I try to launch TIGERS, it says it can only play at specific resolutions. How do I change whatever it takes to make the game run?

Desert War in the My Page section?

I purchased Desert War in 2018. I've gone to My Page today, but "Desert War" isn't listed there. Do you know why? I looked up my original registration number to try to register it again, but there is no listing for DESERT WAR, even to register a new purchase. Is it listed by some other title?

It's ...

Re: Out Now...?

I have to say that I was tempted to hold off on this game because of the price...but I find that I trust Erik Rutins because of his genuine devotion to wargames and his proven integrity and transparency over the years with Matrix.

Erik, do a YouTube video on this game. That one you did for War in ...

Re: game won't load past opening screen

Well, don't ask me how or why, but I went back to properties and set compatibility to Win 8 and tried it and now it works. I know that last week I tried all kinds of compatibility settings with no success, but today for some miraculous reason it works (takes a long time to load into a scenario and i ...

Re: game won't load past opening screen

I did a fresh install of the game and the update. I checked the DPI override. But now (even before the DPI setting override) I'm getting an error the instant I try to launch the game: ERROR Can't Set Screen Mode.

Any idea what is causing that?

This must have something to do with Windows 11 ...

Re: game won't load past opening screen

Thanks. I've fiddled with about every setting there is in Properties, but I'll try again.

If anybody else out there is having success with Win 11, please let me know.

Re: game won't load past opening screen

I see where I can download that program. Is there someplace that explains how to use the program? I see where I can import a DX file from the game directory. But I don't know what to do after that.
Thanks for the suggestion.

Re: game won't load past opening screen

No, didn't work. I tried also to run the original version of the game on this computer...hangs on opening screen. And again tried with the new patch...hangs on opening screen, although the resolution makes the opening screen too large for my monitor.

(And I watched "12 O'clock High tonight!!!)

game won't load past opening screen

I moved to a new computer and re-downloaded the game and the new patch. It had worked okay on my old computer. Now, though, it won’t load past the opening artwork screen.
I’m using windows 11 with 2560x1440 resolution. I’ve changed the video folder to no_video.
Any suggestions?
Thanks, James

Re: patches for American Civil War

Does this game play in windowed mode? It's always full screen for me, which makes it difficult to reference the manual/tutorial while playing. I "de-selected" full screen in options, but it's always full screen.

patches for American Civil War

Are there any patches yet for this game? I installed it on my D drive and now the CHECK FOR UPDATES doesn't work. The main reason I prefer Matrix games on Steam is that I don't have to mess with tracking updates. In the previous forums it was pretty straightforward to see if new patches were ...

<t> There's an update? I bought the game and it's version 1.00. When I "check for updates", it says I've got the latest version. When I go to the game in MY PAGE, it doesn't list an update. And in the store it doesn't mention an update. If there's an update, I haven't been able to find it.<br/>

Will Modern Naval Warfare compare more towards DANGEROUS WATERS (complex/realistic) or to COLD WATERS (not complex/arcade)?
