Missing window

Post by Javstein »

Sometimes I use two monitors to play. But when I play with a single monitor, the land combat selection and resolution window does not appear and of course I cannot continue playing. Until I realize that it only appears when I play with the two monitors and previously I have to select my second monitor as the main.
I don't know if it's a game problem or a problem with the configuration of my monitors.

Yeah, some windows are showed behind the active window, so you can't access to the new windows and you must to restart the game.

I hope it is fixed in new update.

You can try moving the window that is in front, or pressing Alt-Tab a few times.

When you have only one monitor, the place of the command form is important. It should not be in the right or left upper corner of the screen, but a somewhere in the middle. If it's in either corner, it might stop forms from appearing.

The program saves where the Land Combat Resolution form should be shown. That information is in the SLY file. See Players Manual Vol 2 for all the gory details.

What you can do is create a second SLY file, one for 2 monitors and one for 1 monitor. For the 1 monitor SLY file, the easiest thing to do is to start a new Barbarossa game, get to the first land combat resolution phase and saved the SLY file under a new name (e.g., One_Monitor.SLY). Then whenever you are using only one monitor, switch to that SLY file.

You will most likely have to redefine the SLY file multiple times - once for each major power in the game.

Another way to go is to create the second SLY file by using a text editor (NotePad would work). You will need to be careful and adept with editing text. Again the Players Manual Vol 2 has all the details on the data in the SLY files.
