This is the maximum size of the whole game. the combat animation takes over the whole screen

Try pxf, and pyf instead of px/py. It also behaved weirdly on my new laptop without fs.

Thanks for alos helping

Got a result !!!!! ... but a tiny screen grrrrrrrr

"C:\Matrix Games\War in the Pacific Admiral's Edition ORIGINAL\Beta2\War in the Pacific Admiral Edition.exe" -w -pxf3440 -pyf 1440 -nofire -SingleCpuOrders -cpu3




Try removing what appears to be an extra space in your command line string between "-pyf" and "1440". I don't think the game engine recognizes that as a valid y-axis size and is defaulting to 1024x768.

Mike, I thought someone might say that it looks like a space but actually there is not. I have just checked again. I do agree in my post it looks like there is a space. But if you delete the space it actually deletes the 1 , so no space.

Any other ideas question mark? I think actually you are on the right track that is something wrong with that back on checking I cannot see what it is.

try -f instead of -w as others suggested. Windowed mode is wacky on modern PCs

Here's mine

"C:\Matrix Games\WitP AE\Beta2\War in the Pacific Admiral Edition.exe" -px1600 -py900 -cpu4 -SingleCpuOrders -dd_sw -altFont -multiaudio -deepColor -skipVideo -archive -w

I cannot get the game to work full screen either, I get all sorts of weird graphic stuff. The size I settled on is one size down from the native resolution of the monitor.

Did any one mention the -dd_sw switch whatever that does.

Tried -f , makes the screen huge and blurry - would be happy with something just a bit bigger I suppose - should i go back to trying other res settings.

Chris - thanks I will tinker about with your suggestions - Sussex... used to live there.

Far away? We moved from Black Boys in East Sussex to Devon six years ago. Although I liked where we lived this is much better. I am a very rural kind of guy.

And going to try fiddling with the resolution settings of the game later. Unfortunately it's on my new PC with Windows 10 as well, and there are quite a lot of other issues to be resolved.
