Matrix Games Forums

I know that this has probably been addressed before, but I just downloaded the game and on my XP lappy, the game runs...but there is something wrong with the graphics. I get something looking like @ or # or a big * whenever I think a number or space is supposed to be there. All of the letters are ok.

Any help?

Had the same problem years ago when I had a computer with IGP video card (onboard / shared memory) - the type of card often found in laptops. There have been several threads by me and other users who had the same problem way back in 2000/2001 - but I just noticed that the PacWar forum now only goes back to Jan 2008 - where are the old posts??

I had the same problem, until I loaded D-Fend Reloaded: http://dfendreloaded.sourceforge.net/ and ran the game through that.

It took me awhile to figure out that was the fix to my graphics problem - the sticky topic on top of the fourm - "Pacific War Works, Read How!" was helpful. You can also read the older forum posts by changing Display Topics from 365 Days to All Topics. I found some of those helpful, too.

Now that's funny - I could swear an oath that I always had the display options set to 'all topics' since I joined the forum and was so accustomed to it that the thought of checking the options didn't even cross my mind. I have to blame my new computer for this goof...

No apology needed LargeSlowTarget!

Your webpage was instrumental in helping me learn PacWar, and you must have the coolest "Fanboy" sig out there [8D]
