Two minor issues

Gary Grigsby’s World at War is back with a whole new set of features. World at War: A World Divided still gives complete control over the production, research and military strategy for your side, but in this new updated version you’ll also be able to bring spies into the mix as well as neutral country diplomacy, variable political events and much more. Perhaps the largest item is the ability to play a special Soviet vs. Allies scenario that occurs after the end of World War II.

Two minor issues

Post by coralsaw »

Hello,

Can I please ask for help on two issues:

1. How can I disable the opening videos?

2. Playing on a 1024x768 LCD laptop, the game starts in a window that is slightly bigger than the screen. The window cannot be resized, and even if I hide the taskbar, it doesn't completely fit on screen. I'd expect the game to be full-screen. Any idea why this is happening? It's mildly annoying.

Other than that, the game rocks. [8D]

Many thanks,

Nevermind 2. I just found out about the preferences screen. RTFM anyone? Image

How DO you disable those crummy opening videos?

I use the ESC key. What I want is the change for the properties of the shortcut:
"F:\Matrix Games\World At War Divided\awd.exe"
A "/p" or something after the above to go to the main menu and skip the intro.

there are three files in the 'video' folder ( matrixintro and 2by3intro and waw_intro ) just rename name ( with a 1 at the end for example ) and they will not play when you load the game, it'll go straight to the load screen.

Perfect! That's more of what I was looking for. Thank you.
