DXWnd + ArtyFix All-in-One for SPWAW

[Riitaoja2]

Oh no I did not program the DXWnd program. I am sorry if I have caused confusion. The guy who programmed Dxwnd is in the Sourceforge forum and he goes by the name "gho" or "ghotik":
https://sourceforge.net/p/dxwnd/discussion/general/

All the credit for Dxwnd goes to him ofcourse.

As to me personaly I am not a programmer and I do not work with computers either.

No changes to the actual fix but I updated the download so that the .zip package now includes a proper readme file.

Awesome thread! Steel runs almost flawlessly.. one problem is that if I run it in a window, the bombard function goes back to being sluggish.. is there a fix for this? Id love to run Steel on my TV monitor

Hmm that is strange.

Maybe the CPU slow down value needs some tweaking for windowed mode on your system. Try adjusting the value in 1 digit increments. For example if the artillery screen works in fullscreen mode with a CPU slowdown value of 20 it might need to be adjusted to 19 or 21 for windowed mode.

Riitaoja thanks about new version link[:)]. Now artillery works well in my SPWAW (and H2H too) via DXWnd[:D]

Btw, sorry this message contains bit off-topic but after updating DXWnd into newest version I noticed that WinSPMBT/WW2 games' main menu flashes (lasts about 5 sec. randomly) somehow after launching menu. If I choose some scen or start battle generator flashes stop (no any marks about this during playing)... I had never seen them with previous DXWnd version. SPWAW itself works ok. Should I change some video option? Any help? Riitaoja?

That does not seem to happen on my PC.

Maybe old configuration is affecting it somehow? Try placing the new Dxwnd version in a clean folder instead of over writing the old version. Then try adding WinSPWW2.exe from the Dxwnd Edit->Add menu instead of using an old configuration file.

Thanks about tip Riitaoja[:)]. No flashes anymore[:'(]

Sorry problem seems to continue[:@]... Flashing still continues[:(]... If I stretch windowed screen more than default, screen starts to flash. Should I change some video screen size option?

edit: Hmm this problem seems to be purely random because I tried to launch WinSPMBT some minutes ago and it went
without any flashing in main menu[X(]... Interesting isn't it?

edit2:Hey, I think I found solution[:)]! I changed right click->modify->video->directx->hybrid mode
No flashing in main menu and after stretching screen with mouse[X(] Hopefully this will be static correction...

Thanks for the help! Your instructions were fantastic and the game looks like its back to full functional on a computer with nearly identical specs as Grotum (maybe without the fancy Dual Titans)

Cheers!
