Fallschirmjager -> Not in wide screen, need help (1/28/2016 2:01:29 AM)
I have the game on a new laptop, I entered the command line entry and I am still getting black bars down the side of my screen when I play. Here is my command line -px1920 –py1080 -deepColor -skipVideo What am I doing wrong?

Try adding "-f"? shot in the dark but no harm trying.

Where is the :Command entry line" and where do I add the -f?

I know you might think it's redundant, but pasting in the entire command line here can help immensely in many cases. In this case, I am able to identify one definite problem. The "-" character in front of each switch is supposed to be a plain old "-". But the "-" you have in front of the py switch is not a real dash. Most likely you copy pasted that from the documentation and got a typeset character (en-dash or em-dash) that looks a little better in a PDF or a printed manual. Delete the "-" in front of the py command and type it back in yourself. See if that helps.

[:o] This was the issue Cursed by my own laziness I replaced the short line with a hyphen and that fixed the switches that I entered. Now I feel dumb for even starting this. I should know better than to blindly copy and paste

Since someone helped me, I will help you Find your War in the Pacific Quick Start icon Right click on it In the 'target' box Type in -f or the other command line switches At the end of the existing line there is a " Leave a space after the " and begin adding in your additional switches There is a full list under the 'Whats new document' Just don't pull a me and copy and paste them blindly. Actually type them out or you could come back here and end up posting a needless thread.

I frequently delete them so that I can use a standard -.

Its bitten me before..... Roger

witpqs -> RE: Not in wide screen, need help (1/31/2016 5:44:09 PM)
The advice is always some form of 'delete the "-" and retype it' and the question (from new folks) is always "why?", so how does this look for a standard explanation? [image]local://upfiles/14248/078C3D72392243E68E88CA5A7A66F0E9.jpg[/image]

It's not so easy copying something with a quill pen on papyrus, cutting it out and pasting it with Elmer's glue. Tell me how I get that to work. It hasn't so far. [:(]

Elmer's? I thought they ate all the cows on Gorn.

One of those eco-Nazis came up with that. They thought it would be, well, green.
