Info: Windows 7 *GUARANTEED* fix

[Stratos]

I tried on WinSPWW2 with no luck. I'm on Win7 64 bits. Any idea?

What exactly did you try?

- The modified WinSPMBT GameOptions programme?. Sorry wont work (the hint is in the MBT part of the name. MBT and WW2 programs and utilities are slightly different and so incompatible).

- Just the CMD file, manually?. If so, did you actually edit the CMD file to change the EXE name to WinSPWW2 rather than WinSPMBT?.

And you tried this under full-screen mode, right?. The CMD file fix (and the test GameOptions as well) is for that mode only.

Also: I'll assume that you have installed the game to a folder that is outside of the "managed" folders i.e. C:\Games\WinSPWW2 or similar?.

Have my game here:

C:\Program Files\Shrapnel Games\The Camo Workshop\WinSPWW2

I tried in full screen mode, and NO I not edited the CMD file as I have no idea of how to do that.

This is the WinSPMBT forum so why are you telling us about winSPWW2 on this forum ? :

You installed the CMD file..... that's great. WHICH ONE ??? Our's or NCrawlers ? How are we to know if you don't tell us ?

*IF* you are running win7 ( which you don't say but I'll assume you are ) we have been telling people for months to install the game OUTSIDE Program Files becasue win7 has it's own ideas on where to save files when a game is installed in program files. The first thing you need to do is re-install the game in you main C; Drive folders try

C:\Shrapnel Games\The Camo Workshop\WinSPWW2

for a start

Since I don't know which CMD file you've tried to use I cannot tell you what to change but the first thing you should do is re-install as discribed above then when you have done that tell us exacty where the game is and we can go to the next step. We will be issueing a complete set of win7 instructions soon and cutting all these sticky threads loose so players do not get further confused.

However, to EDIT a CMD file simply RIGHT CLICK on it then right below START you'll see EDIT. Click on EDIT and make the changes

IF you are trying to use the NCrawler CMD it looks like this

@echo off
@echo ================================================
@echo NCrawler's winSPMBT Windows 7 color fix
@echo ================================================
@echo This fix closes explorer.exe, waits until it is closed and then launches winSPMBT
@echo off

taskkill /f /IM explorer.exe
winSPMBT.exe
Start explorer.exe


change that to this for winSPWW2

@echo off
@echo ================================================
@echo NCrawler's winSPMBT Windows 7 color fix
@echo ================================================
@echo This fix closes explorer.exe, waits until it is closed and then launches winSPMBT
@echo off

taskkill /f /IM explorer.exe
start/w winSPWW2.exe
Start explorer.exe


You'll note we have refined the start game line somewhat

If you were trying to run our GameOptions BETA for MBT it won't work with SPWW2

Thanks DRG, is working now, a bit laggy but working. Now two clarifications.

1- I posted this here cause I used the CMD of the first page of this post.

and

2- I said which OS I'm using in the post just over the Mobhack one

Can you give us a discription of what you mean by "laggy" and have you tried adjusting any of the game adjustments found under the MISC tab of GameOptions

I assume then you copied the change I posted to the Ncrawler CMD file ? That was looking for the winSPMBT.EXE and the main reason it didn't work for you running winSPWW2

Did you move the game out of Program files

Are you runing the game in fullscreen mode ?

We would appreciate feedback from anyone who tries this please


Don

[DRG]

We are asking EVERYONE who tries this new CMD file with the gameoptions BETA to report back on how the game now works running in FULLSCREEN mode.

We need this feedback to make the game better

Thank you
