rhondabrwn -> RE: Windows 10 Compatibility List (9/3/2015 11:51:21 PM)
The SSI Titles: Battles in Normandy Battles in Italy Gave me fits with display issues (along with old non-Matrix/Slitherine titles like the Cossacks series). Solution was to run in compatibility mode (Windows XP) with the box checked for "Disable Display Scaling on high DPI settings" A lot of older games run fine with this box checked. Feel stupid for not trying this option earlier.

In the case of Close Combat, I'm almost 100% sure it won't be possible. But personally I don't see this to be an issue at all. You just need to configure the game to be played in windowed mode and match the resolution with the one in the desktop. The Close Combat games will work like a lot of the other games do, for example JT Campaign series. With Scourge of War the issue is even less significant, as the only thing you need to do is to set the game to Windows 7 compatibility. It will run perfectly.

Glad to hear Matrix is so positive it will not do anything to fix the Close Combat games, NOT! CC5 which all the Matrix games are based works fine and the last 2 Matrix CC releases do too so it is not that they can not work it is a lack of Matrix desire/support. As someone who owns the games and plays them full screen I do not agree with your comment; "I don't see this to be an issue at all". What a disappointing view of a Matrix employee, you would think the customers view would be listened to and not downplayed or taken as less important than their view (which by the way of course has no cost to the company). On my system all menu screens, which were hard coded/locked at 800x600, were automatically doubled in size to 1600x1200 making them much more readable and using more of the monitor size so it is an issue

I believe it's not possible due to the engine limitations. Microsoft stopped supporting 16 bit color mode since Windows 8 and that probably would means that we would need to overhaul/tweek the game engine for all the older titles. That's what have happened with the new titles. But maybe Steve can explain it better. quote: ORIGINAL: Tejszd On my system all menu screens, which were hard coded/locked at 800x600, were automatically doubled in size to 1600x1200 making them much more readable and using more of the monitor size so it is an issue. You're right regarding the menu screens, but the rest is the same. I can understand that this can be an issue for you. That's why I wrotepersonally, for me it's not an important issue.

Thanks for posting that list, Iain.

SteveMcClaire -> RE: Windows 10 Compatibility List (9/5/2015 7:04:16 PM)
If the original SSI release of Close Combat 5 works fine (I have not tested this as I do not have the game installed anywhere currently) then it may be some difference in the versions of DirectX Microsoft has decided to support on Windows 8+, and how. As I recall the original code used DirectX 3, which IIRC did not even support a windowed mode. Matrix Games releases use DirectX 9. The two newer releases (Panthers and Caen) work fine because we did a massive overhaul of the graphics in the Close Combat engine and went to full 32 bit color. And it is the older 16-bit color mode that Windows 8+ no longer supports in full screen. If there were a simple fix for this we would have done it long ago. It may be possible to revert to older DirectX interfaces and make a separate version of each game that can run full screen (and ONLY full screen), but the only other option I have found to date would be to update all the games to full 32-bit color. And this would be no small amount of work. Steve

Steve Could you not extract the .tga files files from the container files and via script save them as 24bit or 32bit instead of 16bit so then the game would run full screen at 24/32bit color???

Robbowdich87 -> RE: Windows 10 Compatibility List (9/8/2015 12:17:54 PM)
I appreciate your games list. My computer in using Windows 7 operating system. Can I play any of your games there? I am afraid ! I am searching a game that can at least run in my operating system.

gexmex -> RE: Windows 10 Compatibility List (9/8/2015 8:44:15 PM)
Will For Liberty! ever be updated to be compatible? That's one I've always wanted to purchase but had issues with the demos. Either way, thanks for the list!

That is not how it works, the issue is not one of asset bitdepth, but that 16bit and 32bit screens are fundamentally different, both in how they need to be accessed for any pixel-level operations, and how they are supported in newer versions of windows. As Steve said, switching to a compatible screen depth (and more version of DX) would require re-architecting the graphic system for the game. Cheers Pip

Tejszd -> RE: Windows 10 Compatibility List (9/9/2015 12:24:07 AM)
The re-architecting is already done for PiTF/GTC so it would be copying that code into the previous release and changing the graphic images bit depth.....

Cheers Pip I am still using Windows 7 so I can't test it out myself but for many old games the DXWnd program has been very useful. Perhaps it can be used to run Close Combat on Windos 8 and later? In the video tab of Dxwnd there are many options regarding color management. link is here: http://sourceforge.net/projects/dxwnd/
