Just wanted to chime in I had the same problems on Win 8.1. Tried every possible switch combination. The only one that worked was -deepColor -f -px1920 -py1080
Other combinations with the -f switch coming first and the like did not work. Suffice to say it is all EXTREMELY fickle....
So even the order of the switches can affect results?
Not that I know of.
OK, but here's a thought; since most players will eventually upgrade to Win 10, how about Matrix creating a database of the latest Windows versions with the switches that seem to work best for specific computer makes and models?
It might save future AE players a lot of aggravation.

I just got the game and it is a fun, very leisurely game. That is, it takes 4 seconds for the scroll buttons to register. I have tried all kinds of switches and none of them seem to work. The only thing that helps the scroll speed is if something kicks me out of the program and I get back into it. The the scroll speed is very fast but the font is green and larger. also, there is no dark background when I go to the intelligence or any other small screen. Then when you select something there, the previous text still shows making it very unreadable.
