boxof9 -> Windows 10 problems (4/9/2016 3:10:44 AM)
I bought a new pc with windows 10 and am having trouble with WITPAE running slow. No problems when I was using my ancient vista. I'm sure others have had this issue. What can I do to resolve this?

There are many threads in the Tech Support sub-forum on Windows 10 problems: http://www.matrixgames.com/forums/tt.asp?forumid=711 Bill

Now, I'm just living with it, afraid to bungle my system. Anyhow, good luck in fixing it on your PC....[:)] Fred

I made the same mistake. It's W. (Bill) D. Olson [:-] D. probably stands for Duuude!

Admiral DadMan -> RE: Windows 10 problems (4/9/2016 5:36:09 PM)
The most common problem solver is the -deepColor switch

dcpollay -> RE: Windows 10 problems (4/9/2016 9:05:15 PM)
The -dd_sw switch helped my new Windows 10 machine considerably. I also found benefit from the -deepColor switch. I'm running an Intel i5 processor. As an aside, I think someone mentioned to be careful of the syntax when entering the switches? i.e., upper/lower case letters may matter, as well as the hyphen-vs-emdash issue?

WIN 10 machine, right click the desktop shortcut-click on properties - click the shortcut tab - add to target[not start in] -deepColor -dd_sw .. solved my incredibly slow game example - my game is located on a E drive, folder Matrix Games. desktop shortcut target, include the parenthesis- When I first tried this, thought the parenthesis should be ignored- my old DOS methods screwing me up "E:\Matrix Games\War in the Pacific Admiral's Edition\War in the Pacific Admiral Edition.exe" -deepColor -dd_sw

boxof9 -> RE: Windows 10 problems (4/10/2016 1:06:31 AM)
Thank you for your response. Just to be clear I have a target box(which is already populated) and a start in box. I enter the script into the target box. Correct?

YES, just add [for some reason C in deepColor is capitalized]. -deepColor -dd_sw add after parenthesis in the target box make sure you leave a space between the parenthesis and -deepColor -dd_sw

boxof9 -> RE: Windows 10 problems (4/11/2016 3:29:49 AM)
Problem solved. Thank you kind sir. Now I can get back to playing.

mussey -> RE: Windows 10 problems (4/21/2016 3:35:45 PM)
Had same issues. The trick is to alter the "Quick Start" launcher, and then to create a new desktop item of that. Not the already originally created desktop one at install(at least in my experience). The Readme file included upon install has excellent instructions. Welcome Box of 9. Hope to meet you someday in Buna...[sm=00000106.gif]
