I just installed the Steam versions of Final Blitzkrieg and Fortress Italy. On all the menu texts I get extra gray pixels either on the text or in between letters making them difficult to read. Also, in Fortress Italy, the map names over the towns and just have the text twice, white text and then red text in front of it, again making it difficult to read. I played around with various graphics settings and nothing changes this.

BTW, I have Cold War also installed and this problem does not happen in Cold War.

First, are you running CM using an integrate GPU? If given the choice and left on its own Windows will almost always choose the integrated GPU over the higher performance GPU. That almost always causes issues.

What is your DPI scaling and layout set to? You may need to override the high DPI setting for the application, you can find that in the Compatibility tab of the executable's property page.

HTH

They should not even be selling these titles knowing they do not run on new PC and new laptops.What a load of BS
