Anyone else getting this odd graphics result from the new patch?

Using it on Win 7, windowed at 1920 x 1080. With multiaudio as well.

Scen 28, DaBigbabes Allies v AI currently @ 17-12-41

The destroyed LCU's list contains the usual suspects - Hong Kong, Wake units etc.

When the list first comes up, the PP cost to recall shows as 'not defined'. When the units are selected via left click, then back a PP cost shows.

However, the PP cost for units previously left-clicked changes as further units are selected. Select the Middlesex bn and the recall cost shows as 1pp. Select the Grenadiers of Winnipeg and both units show a cost of 2. Select the Rifles of Canada and the cost for the WG is now 3, although the Middlesex bn are still at 2.
The order in which units are selected on the list also has an effect. Select the units in order 'A' (as above) and the costs and changes will be the same if you reload and use the same order again.

However, if you use a different order ('B'), the costs to recall the units and the changes to them are different from order 'A'. eg select the Winnipeg Grenadiers first and the Middlesex second and the PP cost ends up as 5 and 1 respectively.

Is this just a glitch caused by applying the destroyed LCU recall to an ongoing game?

ps - appreciate the a/c cargo feature on the TF mouseover.

Anyone else getting this odd graphics result from the new patch?

Using it on Win 7, windowed at 1920 x 1080. With multiaudio as well.

I started seeing that a long time ago when using wide-screen with my elderly PC. Add the "-nofire" option to the shortcut you are using. The downside is that you also will not see explosions and guns firing in the combat animations, but my screen was going wild there too.

Looks like you're using the Stadimeter.

Here the bouncing of the animated graphics (sea water of the ships, explosions) is not new to the last beta patch.

It started with wide screen support and happens with the combination -w and -px -py. It does not happen only with -w

First only when you maximized the window, and with the last 2 patches I think happens always, maximized or not.

-noFire removes the animations and so solves the problem, but can it be fixed so that we can see the animations?

I see the same thing on my other PC.

What causes it is when the window screen size matches the AE -px & -py, the game animation engine gets confused about the height of the screen. It thinks it is in the normal full screen AE mode and draws the animation offset to the wrong location. Thus the bounce between the full screen and wide screen locations.

The only way I have got around this is to run my AE at a slightly lower resolution than the system window one.
I use 1270 x 768 for AE on a windows 1280 x 800.

Thanks michaelm

Here in 1920 x 1200:

Happens if I try to run with 1920 x 1080

Does NOT happen with the lower resolution supported that is 1680 x 1050

So both values x and y have to be lower than the native resolution.

But 1270 is supported by your graphic card? I cannot use 1910, 1900,...

Edit: sorry, I meant does not happen with the lower resolution supported that is 1680 x 1050

Seems that michaelm is using a crt as opposed to an LCD screen.� One of the few advantages (any screen rez).� The other being that the old CRT's are great room heaters in the winter ...�

PS: I'm still using an old 22" crt myself ...� holdover from a previous life.�

Oops - as Nikel pointed out, the correct spelling is "-noFire". Good luck.

Im running mine in -px 1768 and -py992 and getting no graphics glitch other than some kernel thingy with my nvidia card that forces Windows 7 to revert to basic mode and then my Aero graphics come back as normal once im done with the game.

Is there a way to run the beta version in full screen mode rather than windowed?

Open your shortcut properties "Shortcut" tab and you will find the command line switches in the "Target:" box. Be aware there is a leading blank following the closing quote.
