Resolution Problem

[BBfanboy]

That script is gibberish to me. Do you put it into a batch file with a shortcut on the desktop?

Sorry, I updated my post with step by step instructions on how use autohotkey and setup the script that moves the window.

I am running the game on a laptop with 15.6 inch screen. Screen's native resolution is 1920 x1080.

Here is my switch
"C:\Matrix Games\War in the Pacific Admiral's Edition\Beta2\War in the Pacific Admiral Edition.exe" -altFont -skipVideo -archive -deepColor -dd_sw -px1600 -py900

The game runs in full screen, zero graphical glitches.

In "Personalize your screen" in Win10, my text, apps size is set to 125%, which is the recommended setting.

I can run the game in 1920 x 1080 resolution in full screen (text and apps set to 100% recommended), but then the game icons and text are too small for me.

Hope it helps.

I think I'm testing the lower limit on screen size and playability! I have a laptop 13.3" screen running Win10 with 1920x1080 res like yours except text size is recommended as 150%. I tried your switch but it will not run the game unfortunately on any size text. I can run the game fine in a 4:3 window size but it is hard to read the screen. As you say, at 100% text and widescreen at 1920x1080 (which I can use) the resulting game screen has text so tiny it is impossible! I think I will have to give up and just play on larger setups. Thank you for your post, when I read it I was hopeful but I'm sure it has helped a few others.

The game does not respond to Windows settings to increase Text size. The font sizes in the game are fixed, and you can only choose between two font types.

Other posts on graphics problems suggested that having a Windows font size other than 100% causes problems with the graphics. The only ways to deal with fonts too small to read are to decrease the resolution of the map or to get a magnifier! I keep a magnifying glass at my PC so I can see things like the tiny movement direction indicator dots on land units.

Thanks for your clear explanation, much appreciated. Looks like I will need to invest in a magnifying glass!
