Serious improvement of the graphics of the game
I discovered a trick that can greatly improve the quality of graphics rendering on both games (WinSPMBT and WinSPWW2).
For that, I use the capabilities of my 27-inch 4K screen, the advanced NVidia graphics card properties, the Windows 10 tips, and a small anti-aliasing software.
First, I went into the configuration panel of my NVidia GeForce GTX 460 (it's an old graphics card but it is powerful) and I selected the activation of DSR factors (4x for my optimal setting).
Dynamic Super Resolution technology produces smoother images by artificially increasing the resolution and then downscalling the image displayed on the screen.
Then I adjusted the DSR smoothing to 50% (that's what suits me best).
I then went on to "change resolution" still in the NVidia configuration panel and chose the resolution "3840 x 2160 pixels" in the DSR resolutions available.
Once your choices are validated, your screen is now 4x larger than the original (mine was set in Ultra HD - 1920 x 1080 pixels).
Normally, Windows 10 has automatically increased the size of the menus and icons (150% on my computer). You have to go to the display settings and choose 100% for the scaling to have the most stunning results.
Start WinSPWW2 (or WinSPMBT) in "Windowed" "Desktop" mode and admire the result ...
For even more finesse, I use the software "Lossless Scaling" (scale adjustment on 1 and anti-aliasing checked) and I start it with the Hotkey once the game is launched. Even better and it allows to have the game in full screen (without the taskbar of Windows).
Here it is.
As I know that many here think that the graphic quality of the game is absolutely not a factor for their pleasure to play these games, I do not know if this tricks will be useful to someone. But for me it is a real improvement (we are almost at the graphic level of some Close Combat in my opinion). No more pixels and this old twentieth century look ...
