Just had to install new hard drive

Post by Roger Neilson »

Ok, working and a lot faster... but in the process I lost my quickstart icon that I had on my desktop for WITP with the switches in for altfont and windowed mode. Could somebody please remind me?

Clarification:
To use the new, larger font:
1) Create a shortcut from the EXE (right-click on it then drag & drop it).
2) Right-Click on the new shortcut and choose properties.
3) Add space then -altFont to the far right of the “War in the Pacific.exe" on the Target line, such as
“C:\Matrix\War in the Pacific.exe -altFont"
Don't forget the other switches. If you want, add another space then tack one of these 6 on
-ww -wd -dw -dd -colorBlind –deepColor (windowed weekly autosave, windowed daily autosave, full
screen weekly, full screen daily, use white text for most common text and initialize game in 32 bit color),
such as “C:\Games\War in the Pacific.exe -dd -colorBlind".

Trying those and it reports the target is not valid?

Remember to use the top line and type in the switches outside the quotation marks.

This is mine:
"C:\Matrix Games\War in the Pacific\War In The Pacific.exe" -altFont -deepColor
