I'm seeing the same garbled graphics when I Alt-Tab in and out. They usually clear up, or like someone said, at worst when I hit the Exit button off the "savegame" screen.
I'm running XP, but not GeForce. I've got a basic video card. SysInfo calls it a "AG 315-64". Its not critical or game or computer of life threatening, but it isn't pretty.
On the PBEM, here's what I really would like to see.
In the setup for the PBEM game, I put into UV the email address of my opponent. Then, when I'm done with my turn, UV automatically calls a zip utility, zips the files up, the automatically fires off the email client and sends them.
For incoming files, all I need to do is point UV to a directory where I save the Zips that are attached to the emails. I get a file-open dialog pointing at that directory.
Since you can use long filenames on computers these days, I'd like to see it take advantage of it and name the zip files something like [username from email addr] - [scenario name] - [side]-[turn number]. Since UV is creating these files, this is automatic. So when I look in my incoming zip directory, what I see is something like
AdmiralJoe = Scn 19 = IJN = 5-21-42.zip
This is what I get from
AdmiralJoe@hotmail.com when playing scnerario 19 with him as the IJN when he sends me the turn from 5-21-42.
Don't think there is any REALLY fancy here, but with a little bit of work I bet you can make a lot of PBEM's REAL happy.
And just think of all the free advertizing you'd get from all the messages on all the other forums saying "I wish company X would do their PBEM system the way Matrix and 2by3 do with UV\WITP"!
