Windows 10 effects on SOW Gettysburg

Post by Ed Dix »

With the move to Windows 10 I now have no labeling on the start up screens in SOW Gettysburg. I have read threads on this kind of problem before. What is the solution?

They suggest to run in Win 7 compatability mode.

Yes the response from Paulo Costa at Siltherine was everything that was needed including how to find the Compatibility tab on Properties of the autorun file. I have had no problems with SOW since download in 2012 so I did not know how to open the guts and make changes. I am more "historian" than "gamer". Thank you for your reply All the best...Ed

RE: How to Run SOW G in Windows 10

Just thought I'd post my experience. The game will crash unexpectedly in W10. However, if you off-click on the icon in the tray or on the desktop or in the directory, you will have the option to "run as administrator". You can also run a compatibility wizard from the same menu. I have the best results on my PC running an intel chip with an NVIDIA graphics card using Windows 8 compatibility mode. Hope this helps you guys and gals out there.
