Matrix Games Forums

I've installed WitE on my laptop and when I start a scenario, if I maximise the window, it crashes. Even if I maximise before I load a scenario, I get the same error...it just doesn't want to run maximised.

Windows 7 Ultimate
Intel Core Due 1.73GHz
2048GB DDRII Ram
Intel 943GML (128MB Shared memory)

I know the laptop is just on the money with the minimum specs...but the game runs fine in a small window. Just when I maximise the window I get the error

I've attached the DX file

Another odd thing - I can drag the window corners to make the interface bigger with no problems...it's just when I maximise the window using the maximise button

Did you try to check for newer graphics driver?

Unfortunately similar problems are not so uncommon with cards which are sharing memory.

I have updated them now and it still crashes when clicking the maximise button

Another odd thing - I can drag the window corners to make the interface bigger with no problems..

So if you make it big enough by resizing to cover all screen it doesn't crash, right?

yep...just using the Maximise button crashes it

Weird - it does crash also if I use the corners to drag it - but only if I pull it too close to the edge of the screen.

I'm not too fussed about it. I play in window mode anyway (I only found it because I wanted to maximise the map to see the theatre) and I can drag it, but I thought you should know the issue was there

Interesting.. does it crash if you move your window so part of it would be out of active screen?

I wouldn't bother about it unless it's reported by someone else...I'm willing to chalk this up to instability on my system...sometimes it allows me to drag the window to make it bigger, other times it crashes...but it does always crash when I click the maximise button.

Like I said, unless someone else reports something similar, I wouldn't bother with this one...
