Graphics Problem

[dwesolick]

I know this has been an issue for others but my searches have been unsuccessful. My game is running pretty well overall except for a minor glitch with ship graphics. When I click on an individual ship, the image of the ship is doubled and distorted. Also, combat animations tend to bounce and distort a bit when the AI is processing. I think there was some simple fix for this but can't remember and can't find it in the forums. My command switches are:

"D:\Matrix Games\War in the Pacific Admiral's Edition\War in the Pacific Admiral Edition.exe" -SingleCpuStart -cpu2 f -pxf1920 -pyf1080 -deepColor -dd_sw -altFont -w

I tried adding -fixedArt to the line but it had no effect. Any suggestions would be welcome!

thanks

What operating system and specs, Marine?

-fd -skipVideo -deepColor -dd_sw -cpu3 -px1920 -py1080 -SingleCpuOrders

Try this, so, full-screen, not windowed.

Thanks Klink (how did you know I was a Marine??[:'(])
I tried your fix, in full screen the graphics glitch goes away, but I get the "desktop bleed through" problem. When I go back to windowed, that goes away but the graphics glitch comes back.
I'm running Windows 10 (sadly) on a new ASUS laptop. No idea what all the specs are or where to find them (I'm a history teacher).

thanks!

found specs:
Intel Core i7-8550U CPU @ 1.8GHz 1.99 GHz
RAM 16 GB
64 bit system, x64 processor

ASUS Vivobook Pro17

Instead you can try the -noFire switch (might not be documented). It will keep animations from firing. When you see that doubled image of the ship AFAIK it wants to display the waves under the ship as moving, and in some cases smoke issuing from the ship. The -noFire stops that.

It's a matter of the graphics system not being fast enough. This is probably partly a software issue because they use an old graphics standard but things are not going to be updated at this point.

Yep, that did the trick. Thank you!
