Well if the game was substituting her image instead ob blowing up random stretches of map, when I mouse over an area, I might not be asking for assistance!

Status: offline 		The issue only started with the new laptop. Unfortunately, it is making the game very challenging and even slower to play. I've taken it off and reinstalled it as well as trying to operate it in full screen. It sems to do a little better in full screen, but the game runs even slower. Sometimes (less often) it will pick up the desktop images and they will take over part of the screen.
I have loved AE since it came out, so this pretty frustrating.

EDIT: I found it on the Windows bar - Ease of Access - Windows magnifier.

Status: offline 		Thanks for the assistance, but still having the same issue. The Magnifier has been off. I am getting same issues.

On the image my mouse was over Ulleungdo, but it was bringing up the Yellow Sea area. It typically seems to be "magnifying" several inches to the left and up a bit, from where my curser is. It only does this with Admiral's edition. I've not had any issue with other programs or games, matrix or otherwise.

Appreciate all the help you all have offered. I am hoping we can final a resolution.

Correct. I have tried Windows/esc multiple times and the attached screen is from Settings. It has never shown as on with magnifier in settings. Again, it has only done this since I switched to the new laptop. And only with AE.

I've spent this evening looking through the AE folder in hope to find an answer.

Status: offline 		I ran into this same problem recently when I switched from running full screen to windowed. Adding switch -dd_sw fixed it. I had removed that switch when running full screen because it increased performance; so far this hasn't been an issue in windowed mode. I'd try adding that switch and see if that fixes the issue for you as well.

For reference, my full switch set (when running windowed):

-wd -multiaudio -px1920 -py1080 -altFont -deepColor -skipVideo -archive -dd_sw

I'm game for tying. I had ridiculous lag issues running the full screen, so I've only played the windowed version, both have had this "magnification" issue.

Apologies, but where can I find add the recommended switch or find the switch set?

I think Moltke is correct, and the -dd_sw switch will solve this particular problem.

Did you ever resolve this issue? I'm having the same issue on the same map and trying different switches I cannot seem to resolve it...

It seems to only be during the recon phase of the game and seems to happen more on the Kamakaze Bellum map which is more graphics intensive...

Status: offline 		No joy. Sorry you are having similar issues.

Finally took everything off the laptop and started again. Currently the game will only load in Full screen and is ridiculously slow. Every attempt to use these switches gets me error messages and now I can't even run the game in windowed mode, which I prefer due to my notes and spreadsheets.

Figured I would try again after the holiday frustrations and hassle go away. I also have it do the same when the game is running the turn, but that doesn't bother me like it does when I am trying to move about the map.

I hadn't thought about the map being the issue. I guess I can try and replace it.
