Screen centered size/centering - 6/8/2013 8:46:21 PM

Status: offline 		After years away from WITP I pulled out my AE version and installed on my new computer. I'm running Windows 8.

I'm running it from the desktop shortcut with switches as follows
-w -px1920 -py1080 -deepColor -skipVideo -SingleCpuOrders –cpu4 –multiaudio

It opens in a window as it should, but the graphics are centered in my monitor. When I expand the window I get a screen that looks like this. Any ideas?

Status: offline 		Okay, made progress. I removed the -px and -py switches I can now get enough of the screen to launch into the game. Unfortunately, the bottom of the screen is cut off. I can just barely select the units along the bottom, with most of the icons being cut off. Oddly, if I don't run it in window mode (-w) the resolution switches to 1720 or something that is completely off my screen.

I have tried messing around with my monitors resolution. I'm using a 32" HDTV for a monitor. I've tried scaling it. None of that seems to work.

Thoughts anyone?

Status: offline 		Thanks T for the suggestion. That didn't seem to make a big difference. This is what I am seeing now. Now how the strategic map is cut off at the bottom. If I select a base half of the aircraft unit icons are cut off (bottom half) and I cannot see a list of the land units at all.

Status: offline 		The only way I can get the full screen mode to work at all is if I take out the -dd_sw and -px -py switches. When I do this is the way the game appears. I see about 1/4 of the control pannel and it fills the screen. Obviously it is trying to render under some other resolution.

sorry for what is probably a silly question, but I am having the same issue.

Where is the compatibility options?

Now for the next question.

The whole WitP screen fits on the monitor, but it only takes about 1/2 of the whole monitor.

I am going blind and have a 36" TV as a monitor. Actually close enough my nose some times touches it ....

How can I get more of the WitP screen to fill up the monitor?

I do have the -wd switch installed.

It's -fd, for full display. e.g. -fd -px1680 -py1050 -archive -altFont -deepColor -skipVideo –dd_sw I'd recommend, depending on your video resolution.
