New Players due to 50% off sale....

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.

New Players due to 50% off sale....

Post by Bloodybucket28th »

Maybe I'm just thick, but the first thing I did after downloading was start banging my head against the wall because I couldn't save nor change the resolution. Read several threads before it occurred to me that the latest download isn't patched up.

So in case it helps somebody else, remember to apply the latest patch, makes sure you have a folder named "Save" in the "Dat" folder, and then you can go about the business of fooling around with the resolution and saving games.

I don't know if it makes a difference, but I installed the game outside of the default "C:Program Files" location. This helps some older games function better in W7.

Cheers.

There is a sticky with this problem in the support section. Matrix should fix the installation program, this problem is known since 8/1/2008

Pretty lazy conduct or stupid policy by Matrix to not even bother updating the game for new buyers [&:]
