Win10 upgrade issue

[Bearcat2]

Thanks to everyone for the help, was having problems with Win10, but applied the switches and it works fine.

Hi guys, I am also having a problem after installing windows 10.I'm having the same problem of mapview not scrolling properly. Very slow and sluggish. I do not understand what you mean by command switches. I went to WiTP-AE folder, but from there I have no idea what to do. Where do I find command switches, or is it something I type in somewhere? I need really soup simple instructions, like open this, do that, type this, etc etc. Any help would be greatly appreciated. If I knew how to revert to Windows 7 ultimate I'd do that in a sec.

Hello, I followed the instructions about right clicking on shortcut, clicking on properties and looked at whats in the target window box,and its the same as avers246.
"C:\Matrix Games\War in the Pacific Admiral's Edition\autorun.exe" , I've never edited anything because I don't know how. That's whats always been there. Do I need to change that? also there isn't anything in the box after that. If I do change that, how do I type in -dd_sw? I'm going to try that first.

Hiyas one more time... Oh I'm happier than a pig in a mud puddle! I did it... lol I followed the above instructions, about what to type in target box, and then I added the -dd_sw line after that. went into game and it scrolls just fine now!! I had absolutely no idea if I was doing it right, but I did.. Thanks for helping me indirectly. I took a leap of faith, followed the instructions as listed and all is right with the world. Now if I can figure out why XCOM enemy unknown won't launch, I'll be really happy. The other steam titles I have work fine except XCOM. anyway, have fun and good gaming to all of you... Cancel that... I went back into game and I'm still having the scrolling issue. It worked the first time, but now it's back doing the same thing. I even added - deep color. Let me copy and paste what I have in target window, if anyone knows what I did wrong, please let me know."C:\Matrix Games\War in the Pacific Admiral's Edition\War in the Pacific Admiral Edition.exe" -dd_sw -deepcolor

Spelling on those switches is critical and it is case-sensitive. So, -deepcolor will not be registered, it must be -deepColor. Try that first.

If it doesn't work then add -SingleCpuOrders. And add the -dd_sw too if needed. When you find one that works, you can try removing the others one at a time just to see if they are really needed or not.

[ASLifer]

Well, maybe all I did wrong was type in -deepcolor, instead of -deepColor. I changed it to -deepColor and it's working now. I will relaunch game and make sure it is still working. You will either hear a cry for help from me, or all will be silent.. lol

[ASLifer]

Thanks witpqs, if it is still working, I will leave as I have it. since -dd_sw and -deepColor seem to fix problem, I will leave both in..

Don't see anything that jumps out at me as wrong.

Someone might have a suggestion if you are able to post:

1) The complete contents of the Target box in the Properties of the shortcut you are using. (cut&paste)
2) The complete contents of the Start in box in the Properties of the shortcut you are using. (cut&paste)
3) A screen pic of the Properties pop-up of the shortcut.

Hi witpqs,

It doesn't come from my shortcut as it was working fine before on seven.
I'm referencing the game exe, not the autorun.exe.

Target:
"C:\Matrix Games\War in the Pacific Admiral's Edition\War in the Pacific Admiral Edition.exe" -cpu4 -altFont -multiaudio -px1920 -py1080

Start in :
"C:\Matrix Games\War in the Pacific Admiral's Edition"

Will try with nvidia drivers instead of Windows update ones (maybe the same, don't know).

It seems game screen doesn't fit in computer screen.

Have you tried adding the -deepColor switch? For many people that has been necessary on Windows 10 (and 8/8.1).

BTW, I'm not sure what does it look like for you - can you describe it? Checking the NVidia drivers is good, some are known t ohave problems with Windows 10 (news items last week).

[frpandore@free.fr]

Although Windows 10 is (or will) probably be the best Windows OS so far, i've decided to downgrade to Seven (which is probably the second in the list).
WitP is working this way and thats ok for me.
Wait for the next nvidia driver to solve the pbl.

Thanks to you witpqs (i've tried with -deepColor too and made a few tests with nvidia scaling options. Without no success at all).
See you

Upgraded to Win 10 after running the game for months under Win 8.1. I am using below SW:
"D:\Matrix Games\War in the Pacific Admiral's Edition\War in the Pacific Admiral Edition.exe" -deepColor -cpu2 –multiaudio –dd_sw -px1600 -py1200

While game loading is fast scrolling on the other hand is very slow borderline unplayable. Tried to play with the switches including replacing -CPU2 with -SingleCpuOrder with no success. Removing existing switches making the game 10 times slower.

I have no idea how to fix scroll speed.

You are using different dash types for multiaudio and dd_sw.

Some quick notes:

• -cpu2 (or any number) only, AFAIK, affects the turn resolution or replay.
• Correct spelling is -SingleCpuOrders (add an 's' to what you have). Wrong spelling would mean it was not recognized, maybe give it another try?
• You should be able to use those two switches together if you want to (not that you need to, I don't know).

Thank you Alfred. You have Eagle eyes !!

Had problems loading W10, a bit of research and turned off Norton and it worked fine.

Played WITPAE and had the toolbar (on the right edge) overlapping the map, restarted and it moved to the right of the screen, only observation was the colours were a bit brighter.

After a few days went back to W7 (which happened seamlessly)W10 was OK but I didnt need most of the advancements, dont use social media, dont need apps plus my laptop was working hard even at rest.

I too am having some serious issues since I upgrade from Win 7 to Win 10. Everything was fine now it's really difficult to play with all the lag and slow responses from keyboard to screen scrolls.
The switch combo that worked fine for me under Win 7 Home (64 bit)was "-cpu4 altFont -multiaudio -dd_sw -f -px1920 -py1080"

I tried all the switch combos including -SingleOrdersCPU and even tried to run it in Compatibility mode Win 7 with Admin priveleges no go. I even deleted all the switches to see if that would help but there was no change. It didn't matter what switches I used or not. Strange.

[witpqs]

The switches must be spelled exactly correctly, including upper/lower case. Try -SingleCpuOrders and see if that works.

Compatibility mode and/or Admin are not required.

Try -deepColor if needed. Many people wind up needing that on Windows 8/8.1 and 10 but did not need it on Windows 7.

As Witpqs sez, adding the switch he told me about resolved my mapscrolling problem 100%..

In the exe. command line in properties, follow it with " -deepColor "..(Do not add the parenthesis)..
