Can someone show me what parallel installs would look like for DBB and stock with latest Beta?

They'd look about the same, just side by side? [:'(]

Right, but what about the folder "architecture"?

And where is there a broody basic MSPaint in Windows 8?

Do I have to read a manual? It doesn't even have one?

I want to post a screenshot so someone tells me where the buggering is happening.[:)]

[khyberbill]

Are you getting any error message?

Right, on the first pass, I got a PWHEX incompatibility error trying to load a save in "stock"


I fixed that be pasting over the stock PWHEX and the other two files.

I then got stock to run but it lagged badly. Hitting Alt tab and then back cause it to run great but with graphical and text errors.

Should I go back to DOS 3.0 and start over?

I'll be back. I'm going downstairs to look for my Atari 800

Can someone come over help me?[:D]

Where is a good trash 80 when you need one! I think you need to modify those letters on your start file to account for your new laptop. You probably have a speed demon and it isnt configured for multicore motherboards (i have no idea what the right word is).

right click the desktop icon for your game for properties. on the target spot use this:
"C:\Matrix Games\2 X 2\Beta2\War in the Pacific Admiral Edition.exe" -dd_sw -cpu4 -SingleCpuOrders -multiaudio -deepColor -dd_sw -altFont -f

note that i only want you to use the stuff after the ". that is this:
-dd_sw -cpu4 -SingleCpuOrders -multiaudio -deepColor -dd_sw -altFont -f

Try getpaint.net

As always these days with any free software, step through the installation process carefully so that you do not also inadvertently allow it to install other software (i.e. read the installation options carefully and if necessary un-check boxes and so on to not select installation of other software. Think of Java's attempts to install the Ask Toolbar, but realize that they use various visual means to try and obscure the options.).

Sorry, I moved! Hop in the car and you should be here by about 4:00 pm. [:'(]

[Cap Mandrake]

I will try the target modification and launch from the desktop.

Right, so you have renamed the sub- folders under Matrix Games and installed the whole damn thing perhaps 4 x (unless the "Castortroy" folder has intimate photos or something. [:D]

Seems to me that is exactly what I did.

Broody confusing. I wonder if I screwed up the Art folder?

22 year DU, student, part time dog groomer, calls me while she is working on her taxes using an on-line program.....


DU: ...............Foreign bank accounts?

FAM: What do you think? Do you have a bank account in the Bahamas I don't know about?

DU: No. ....How about foreign real estate holdings?

FAM: <face palm> Do you still have that villa in Spain?

DU: Dad, don't be mean. [:)]

Young William from the Khyber Pass's technical solution actually worked.

The laptop just screams through scrolling. I now have a DBB and latest Beta install both with desktop pointers!

The only problem is all the ship names are in Ukranian.

Which, very soon, means that they will all be in Russian. [8|]

Any predictions on when the Ukranian's will fall below their garrison level and the Russians will activate?

It's already happened. If you look at the Ukranian map hexes, you'll note that several of them have sustained airfield or port damage from insufficient garrison AVs. There is a RED exclamation mark on the Crimea hex, for example. Hex side control have gone RED on the eastern Ukranian hex sides as well, allowing seamless Russian movement into the Eastern Ukranian hexes as well as Crimea.

Until now I didn't realize that moving those little markers on Google Earth had that effect. I'll put them back right away.
