jimh009 -> RE: Loading AE on a Retina Macbook with Parallels and Win 8.1 (6/17/2015 12:37:32 PM)

OK. Got it all running...I think. Time will tell as the game progresses. I had to use some very odd settings to make it all work correctly. First, I had to download the latest patch. Initially I tried setting everything up with the original version. But after I downloaded the patch, things worked ok. However, things still came up in a relatively small box (the high-res of the Macbook caused it, I suspect). So, here's what I did with all my settings. 1. For Parallels...set it to Full Screen 2. For the shortcut, use this:"C:\Matrix Games\War in the Pacific Admiral's Edition\War in the Pacific Admiral Edition.exe" -w -px1280 -py800 -deepColor -altFont -archive -skipVideo -cpu2 -dd_sw Note the real low width/height. Initially I tried setting it to the shortcuts game default (-px1680 -py1050). However, it caused a "boxy effect", leaving vast space available on either side of the game. That boxy effect also made it difficult to scroll using the mouse. Very strangely, by setting it to 1280 x 800, I'm now able to utilize most of the width of the screen now. Additionally, all mouse scroll movement problems are gone, too. Why...who knows. But it does seem to be working.
