NEED HELP PLEASE!!

Post by Doctahg1 »

Hi,
Reinstalled AE and I really want to play fillscreen. Reinstalled the game and reinstalled the 2022 undate. Was hoping to use SEABEE but it isnt working. The game runs with the installed executable, although I read you get a BETA execustable shortcut when you install the patch. I did not. ANyway i cannot type in anything and get it to take. Keeps telling me it cant use the modifies executeable on the shortcut. Here are my things. If anyone can tell me EXACTLY what to type in the shortcut to run at 1920X1080 I would appreciate it ALOT I may need to modify the cores used to but I'll be happy to start with running it at that rez.

Here are the files...please help. Dont know what i'm missing

There should be a readme file with the switches listed.

TY,
But i know what needs to be typed, but when i type it it says its a no go...everywhich whay i have tried. The game laucnches fro that shortcut, unless i add the switches, which is why i asked for someone to let me know EXACTLY what i need to type, exvery space and punctuation to at least get me full screen. I know what the switches are but they are nor jiving with my shortcut.

It seems to be a problem with the exe file. Have no clue how to fix it. Wants to put autorun in there but switches wont work with it

Make a shortcut, put the shortcut on the desktop or the toolbar, put your switches there in the target line. This is mine:

"D:\games\WITPAE\WITPAE beta SeeBee installed\War in the Pacific Admiral Edition.exe" -wd -dd_sw -SingleCpuOrders -deepColor -archive -AltFont -pxf1368 -pyf768"

Your target for the shortcut is the autorun file. You need to change the target to the .exe for the game, and apply the switches to that file. For example, my shortcut with switches is: "D:\Matrix Games\Latest Version WITP AE\War in the Pacific Admiral Edition.exe" -altFont --multiaudio --dd_sw --deepColor -wd -pxf1600 -pyf820 -archive -skipVideo
