Default Re: 2019 spmbt update

A full re-install may not fix your problem which is why I suggested you rename your existing games so keep them safe.... OTOH it may but the fact remains running Fullscreen is "iffy" at best and has not been a supported way to run the game for a few years so if a re-install gets things working for you like you remember.....great..... but personally I don't think it will. You were just lucky to have been able to run full screen at all

Red face Re: 2019 spmbt update

DRG,
You right. Now I'm ALL OUT OF LUCK & frustrated as hell! Even trying to do a full re-install, running it in windows mode...NOTHING is working. When trying to get the game to play start screen comes up & then nothing. I am kind of CHALLENGED when it comes to cpu program installations of ANY KIND. Didn't somebody do a screen by screen tutorial on how to install winspmbt & winspww2 on win7? Maybe I will just have to take my cpu to Geek squad at BestBuy to get them to do it. Sorry if it seems I'm wasting your time. I gotta get this game back running before having a PTSD MELT DOWN!

First of all, I place the installer on my desktop.

I start the installation from the desktop with a double-click of the left mouse button. The installation path is: C:\Shrapnel Games\The Camo Workshop\WinSPWW2

My computer then explains to me, that these directories do not exist yet and asks if he should create them for me. That's why I use the middle finger to press the yes button while insulting him.

The directories are created and you can see the progress.

A shortcut (WinSPWW2-Game Options) was created on the desktop and all files were written to their directories.

Well and then you just do the same with the new Consolidation Upgrade. Slide it to the desktop and double-click. Make sure that if you did not copy to the default installation path, both must match.

So that I do not get any problems because of user rights, I basically install any program from the desktop instead of elsewhere.
