Stops how? Freezes, sluggish response, need more details, Kamerad. OS is? What switches do you use, e.g. -fd -skipVideo -deepColor -dd_sw -cpu3 -px1440 -py900 -SingleCpuOrders -archive

Apologies for the late reply. I'm using Windows 10. My screen goes black and I have to restart the computer. I've tried all of the switches you listed, and in various combinations.

You mean it CTD's?!? You may need to reinstall and load the patches again. Make sure to restart your computer after you install the patches. Some files load on restart....GP

Just gave it a try, unfortunately the computer completely freezes and I can't use task manager.

These are the ones I've tried with the beta version, none of them work anymore (the last one - number 5 used to up until a few months ago). Screen either freezes or goes to black every time.

1. "D:\Matrix Games\War in the Pacific Admiral's Edition\Beta2\War in the Pacific Admiral Edition.exe" -px1920 -py1080 -deepColor

2. "D:\Matrix Games\War in the Pacific Admiral's Edition\Beta2\War in the Pacific Admiral Edition.exe" -px1920 -py1080

3. "D:\Matrix Games\War in the Pacific Admiral's Edition\Beta2\War in the Pacific Admiral Edition.exe" -f

4. "D:\Matrix Games\War in the Pacific Admiral's Edition\Beta2\War in the Pacific Admiral Edition.exe" -px1920 -py1080 -f

5. "D:\Matrix Games\War in the Pacific Admiral's Edition\Beta2\War in the Pacific Admiral Edition.exe" -deepColor -dd_sw

OK seems like I've spoken too soon. The game runs, but there's no top menu bar when I'm in the game - means I can't end turn etc. Also no mini map. The map dimensions are also a bit off, and I can't scroll all the way to the edges of the map.

Known issue/suggestions?

EDIT: if I replace -px1920 -py1080 with -f it now works, but in windowed mode.

Don't use -fixedArt unless you don't want the rotating art (updated paint schemes and such based on the in-game date). Also, don't use -f and -w at the same time; it's one or the other.

Status: offline 		Are you using Windows 10 version 1709 (Fall Creator's Update / Redstone 3)? I know it has given graphics trouble to some people.

Experiment using / not using the -dd_sw switch. The general advice is to always use it.

FYI, I'm running WitPAE just fine on a GTX 950 using driver ver 23.21.13.8813 (dated 10/27/17). Perhaps a graphics driver uninstall using Display Driver Uninstaller and a rollback to a slightly older driver will do the trick? Even a reinstall of the same version using DDU might work - it does a very thorough job cleaning up any remaining "residue" of previous drivers which may be causing the glitch.

It seems to me, that your monitor doesn't support Full HD. Check your resolution, and put those values into shortcut.

I'm using version 1607, so that shouldn't be an issue. -dd_sw switch didn't do anything. I've updated the GTX drivers but no difference. I'll try rolling them back a couple of versions if I can.

Monitor supports full HD and is in 1920x1080. It's all just weird.

First, try changing the transparency setting for Windows 10 as witpqs describes here.

Then replace the target field of your shortcut with the following:


D:\Matrix Games\War in the Pacific Admiral's Edition\Beta2\War in the Pacific Admiral Edition.exe" -f -pxf1920 -pyf1080 -deepColor -dd_sw -archive -multiaudio -altFont -skipVideo


I've got other things to try as well, but let's see where this gets us.

The main menu music starts playing and the game appears to be running in the background, but I can't actually play it (I just see my desktop as the music rolls, and then I have to turn it off via the task manager). It's a step up from before though since my computer doesn't freeze at least.

Status: offline 		Progress is good!

Try it with -w instead of -f and perhaps use -px1920 and -py1080 to give WitPAE more flexbility, so:

D:\Matrix Games\War in the Pacific Admiral's Edition\Beta2\War in the Pacific Admiral Edition.exe" -w -px1920 -py1080 -deepColor -dd_sw -archive -multiaudio -altFont -skipVideo


The other options will be:

(1) to roll back to an earlier video driver (such as the one I'm using, posted earlier), using Display Driver Uninstall to give you a 'clean slate'. This seems like a good candidate since a driver update is what appears to have prompted the trouble.

(2) It could also be a DirectX issue possibly, which you can read more about in the thread here. A reinstall of WitPAE could be tried first (making sure to complete the DX install), with buying the utility as a last resort. I had trouble with no audio after a return from a hiatus, and a $20 utility (short of a full system reinstall) was the only thing that fixed it.

The new shortcut doesn't work either, but I'll try tinkering with the drivers at some point in the future when I have a bit more free time. I'll follow up with any questions!

In the interim, one shortcut ends up working in windowed mode, so I'll take that for now. Not ideal but if I get a dark desktop background, not half bad. Might even jump into PBEMs again.

I'm not sure that michaelm75au does any database changes at all, I think programming only.
AFAIk Andy Mac is doing them, you should post here:

Check that the icon points to right folder and .exe-file. Right-click the icon with right mouse button and it'll show the properties of shortcut.
