Duh the newbie question, my max resolution is 1920x1080 - here's my command line:
"C:\War in the Pacific Admiral's Edition\War in the Pacific Admiral Edition.exe" -px1680 �py1050

Am I doing something wrong or will it not go full screen??

Hi Misconduct,

You also require the following command line parameter: -w (for windowed mode)

Try adding a "-f" and going to your max resolution. Also check your "what's new" file.

that was it, didn't even know we had a Whats new file, -f has to go infront of the -px -py

Its actually the name of my Boat - Hypno Toad - far different from the obvious boat names, I thought it was pretty funny so I kept it.

you have one error in this entry: before py1050 you have long dash '�' (this error is also in WhatNew.pdf). Correct dash is small '-', like before px1680.

We gotta get that "What's New" file fixed!!

This is about the sixth thread I've seen with the same cut 'n paste being the cause.

I need to thank you, nearly 2 years later. The dash was the only thing causing the problem. Note do not cut and paste from the ReadMe or you will get the same problem. Also, pin the Quick Start to your Start menu or Taskbar, as using the Menu Autorun.exe will not recognize these changes.
