I want my movie back in full screen!

Also when I play General Petrov as the Germans I get an exception and bounced out of the game.

Status: offline 		We haven't changed the video code in years, and I think it runs the video in a codec that is inside the XNA libraries (that is, I don't think it's dependent on any codec inside of Windows), so it's really surprising to me that this behavior would change. Is anybody else seeing this?

Can you reproduce the exception in General Petrov, or do you have an error message for it? General Petrov has artillery strikes and we did fix an exception error in the hot-fix with the AI artillery strikes in the last build. Have you gotten the 1.31 hot fix?

Status: offline 		Having the same problem. Top half of the movie is black, it doesn't look like the move has been reduced to a letterbox just that the top half is now black.

I've just got round to downloading 1.30 and 1.31 and this problem has been with 1.18, 1.30 and 1.31. (I've just got the base game not GD)

P.S. In case anyone else is having difficulty finding the 1.31 hotfix it is here http://www.matrixgames.com/forums/tm.asp?m=3349630

Status: offline 		My General Petrov scenario crashed when I tried to start it. But I loaded the 1.31 hot fix and it started fine. I'm not having any problem with the video, it plays in the upper right hand corner. It may be a monitor resolution issue. I have a HP 2511 HD monitor set at 1920x1080.

Just my two cents. Good Luck Gents

With one of the recent Windows updates the problem is fixed - for me at least.
