wwengr -> Configuration for New Computer (1/13/2019 7:44:05 PM)

FWIW
I have 2 laptops, relatively new, 1 brand new. I struggled getting the game to work. I got the best result with my newest, cheap computer (AMD A6 w/Radeon R4). Only Windows 7 Compatibility Mode worked.

I used the following switches:
-w (full screen was glitchy no matter what I did)
-altFont (I am getting older)
-SingleCpuOrders (it worked)
-cpu2
-multiaudio (not sure why, but it was glitchy without it)
-deepColor
-dd_sw

You don't say what problems you are having.
As I recently posted, with Win 10 I had to change from -cpu2 to -cpu3 to cure a long hesitation on mouse clicks and other inputs
I also had to ditch the -dd_sw switch to stop the graphic images on unit screens from jumping up and down.
I could not get Full Screen to work because the Windows Command Bar wouldn't go behind it. There may be a way to do this but I haven't found it yet. I just put the Command Bar on the right side of the screen and adjusted my window by dragging borders to fit within the available space remaining.

EDIT: forgot to add that I remember seeing something about laptops needing different switches than desktop systems, so what worked for me may not apply in your case.

The -dd_sw switch caused the same thing in full screen, but not in window mode.

I've got Windows 10.

"C:\Matrix Games\War in the Pacific Admiral's Edition\Beta2\War in the Pacific Admiral Edition.exe" -f -deepColor

Everything works just fine with no delay

HI,
Yes, I've just installed on a brand new windows 10 laptop and the game is narrow screen and very slow/laggy.
Is this normal? What can be done to make it full screen and fast?
Cheers
Steve

Yes, it is normal to stumble onto this in Win 10. It is also normal to make things vastly better by using some or all (play around) command line flags from the first post
