Resolution troubles[edit]
|
Overview[1]
|
- Widescreen resolutions are supported by default.
- The game always tries to stretch the display in fullscreen mode, if the resolution does not fill the entire screen.
- When patch 1.02 is applied to combat the random crashes on modern systems, any resolution above 1152x864 will crash the game when running in fullscreen mode. Resolutions up to Full HD work fine in window mode but the performance is considerably worse. Window mode will require the Windows color depth to be set to 16 bit instead of 32 bit to avoid the rainbow color issues. Performance can be increased by tweaking and launching the game with DXWnd

Terrible performance and mouse issues[edit]
Issues unresolved[edit]
Crash upon saving in mission 5 of the Mexican campaign[edit]
There is a bug in mission 5 of the Mexican campaign that might prevent the player from saving their game in this mission since the game will suddenly start crashing upon each saving attempt and the created save file will be corrupted. This problem can reliably be reproduced on said mission on patch 1.02. The only known way around it is to win the mission without relying on saves.
Unit pathfinding becoming abysmal[edit]
Sometimes the pathfinding of all units on the map can become extremely slow or cause units to ignore orders and remain frozen. This is usually caused by the buggy AI trying to move their army to a spot they cannot reach or a destination very far away. Usually a big group of enemy troops can be found stuck together somewhere. Killing them typically restores the regular pathfinding behaviour.
