Another Windows 10 problem

Post by Ginetto »

After installing Windows 10, WintP/AE it runs OK but instead of being full screen it is narrower than the computer's screen. There are 2 blank equal-sized areas on the right and left edges. Vertical size is fine. What to do?

In properties (right click on the desktop icon) I have:
"C:\Matrix Games\War in the Pacific Admiral's Edition\autorun.exe".

Anybody have any suggestion on how to solve this?

Thanks.

First off, don't use "autorun". Use the game's .exe which is "War in the Pacific Admiral Edition.exe".

Second, are you referring only to the intro screen and the menus? Those do not go wide screen. When you open a scenario or save file it should go wide screen (whatever you set it to).

Thanks. I tried what you suggested, but removing autorun gave me an "incorrect path" message after clicking on "apply".
Also, the screen remains narrower as I described even when starting a scenario. Somehow I need to pull the right and left-hand edges outward.

Make sure all your rivers are updated..Are you running the game in Windows??..In the properties screen, do you use any command line switches at all??

Works correctly now. Tech support gave me the proper command line for properties.

Here it is: "C:\Matrix Games\War in the Pacific Admiral's Edition\War in the Pacific Admiral's Edition.exe" -w -px1920 -py1080.
