Default Re: on what OS does SPWW2 run best?

Been a while since I played and changed systems.

Also, I remember SPWW2/SPMBT running fine with the CD version, but that was before updates in Windows and SPMBT/SPWW2.

Also, I've tried a lot of the ideas suggested and no joy. Since the problem seems to be rooted in Win7 and since the free Win10 expired on 31 Dec 2017 I'm going to migrate to Win10 and hopefully all will be well.

Many thx for all the advice.

Exclamation Re: on what OS does SPWW2 run best?

Well I can say on my computer win10 runs the game well.....it does not run fullscreen for me but I never run full screen even back to winME. I have not personal experience with win7 to offer any further suggestions

That said you really should post some screen shots zipped up of what you are seeing as it seems unique to you ( don't bother adding them to a post as an image, the size restrictions for Shrapnel make any detail impossible to make out unless you are very careful. The skewing you describe is very strange if you are running task bar hide OFF

Nobody has asked but as you are running windows 7 so old & not supported anymore.
1 Do you have any aftermarket graphic tweaks installed?
2 Have you kept your drivers up to date?
3 What version of direct x are you running?
4 Done the basics, checked hard drive for errors, window install not corrupt & for virus etc
5 Old machine checked your memory etc is still good.

Forget full screen windowed taskbar auto hide off is what you need to use.
Turn off splash screen though think this is now fixed.

Do other games have problems, have you tried running them in borderless gaming?
I do not run winsp in it as no need but winsp & borderless gaming both work fine.
My guess is its not windows 7 its a driver or machine issue as its only you that has this problem.

AND it would be very helpful to see what you see if this crops up again

How can I do this? The little click box for 'full screen window' at the top right don't work.
I just re-read this and I think I see the problem. you appear to be referring to the game in windowed mode .....

??




What Andy is telling you to change is your actual computer settings after you are done playing the game in the SETTINGS section
