Odd problem

Post by mojoman68 »

Just Dl'ed AE and played first turn to see the new goodness. Click next turn and Alt-Tab back to desktop while turn processed just like I do in WITP. Except now it wont return to the game. This is a bad thing.

Any help for me?

Were you running it full screen or in window mode?

Try it in window mode if you haven't already.
ALT_TAB can cause screen redrawing issues on return, but it seems to work better in window mode

Window mode is adding a -w to the shortcut target.

So, ummmm, where exactly does that "-w" go in the target? Before or after the .exe?

From my shortcut:

"D:\Matrix Games\War In The Pacific Admiral's Edition\War in the Pacific Admiral Edition.exe" -w
