Wikingus,

try -multiaudio -skipVideo -cpu1 -wd -px1920 -py1080 -altFont -archive -fixedArt -dd_sw, works fine for me with Win10-64bit.

See my reply here for information related to your issue.

Don't use -fixedArt unless you don't want the rotating art (updated paint schemes and such based on the in-game date). Also, don't use -f and -w at the same time; it's one or the other.

OK seems like I've spoken too soon. The game runs, but there's no top menu bar when I'm in the game - means I can't end turn etc. Also no mini map. The map dimensions are also a bit off, and I can't scroll all the way to the edges of the map.

Known issue/suggestions? [:(]

EDIT: if I replace -px1920 -py1080 with -f it now works, but in windowed mode.

Are you using Windows 10 version 1709 (Fall Creator's Update / Redstone 3)? I know it has given graphics trouble to some people.

Experiment using / not using the -dd_sw switch. The general advice is to always use it.

FYI, I'm running WitPAE just fine on a GTX 950 using driver ver 23.21.13.8813 (dated 10/27/17). Perhaps a graphics driver uninstall using Display Driver Uninstaller and a rollback to a slightly older driver will do the trick? Even a reinstall of the same version using DDU might work - it does a very thorough job cleaning up any remaining "residue" of previous drivers which may be causing the glitch.

It seems to me, that your monitor doesn't support Full HD. Check your resolution, and put those values into shortcut.

I went back further in the thread to see what you've posted thus far...

First, try changing the transparency setting for Windows 10 as witpqs describes here.

Then replace the target field of your shortcut with the following:


D:\Matrix Games\War in the Pacific Admiral's Edition\Beta2\War in the Pacific Admiral Edition.exe" -f -pxf1920 -pyf1080 -deepColor -dd_sw -archive -multiaudio -altFont -skipVideo


I've got other things to try as well, but let's see where this gets us.

Progress is good! [:)]

Try it with -w instead of -f and perhaps use -px1920 and -py1080 to give WitPAE more flexbility, so:

D:\Matrix Games\War in the Pacific Admiral's Edition\Beta2\War in the Pacific Admiral Edition.exe" -w -px1920 -py1080 -deepColor -dd_sw -archive -multiaudio -altFont -skipVideo


The other options will be:

(1) to roll back to an earlier video driver (such as the one I'm using, posted earlier), using Display Driver Uninstall to give you a 'clean slate'. This seems like a good candidate since a driver update is what appears to have prompted the trouble.

(2) It could also be a DirectX issue possibly, which you can read more about in the thread here. A reinstall of WitPAE could be tried first (making sure to complete the DX install), with buying the utility as a last resort. I had trouble with no audio after a return from a hiatus, and a $20 utility (short of a full system reinstall) was the only thing that fixed it.

I've downloaded 1126b and installed it. What more must I do as some strange icon has appeared and clicking on it does not run the game.
