Win 11 update problem
In the past week I begrudgingly upgraded to Win11 and have noticed a big problem with the last update Windows gave me. I've had the shortcut for WinSPWW2 forever and it worked fine to start a game. Now since the update was installed (and now rolled back) it simply blinks the screen, and Win11 shows me my resolution settings in the top left corner and nothing else happens.
I've tried
#1) Changed to every resolution listed in the game options screen, including Full Screen with no luck or starting screen appearing.
#2) I looked at the video card settings (GTX1660 - an ancient video card I know, but latest drivers installed and working) and tried lowering my resolution settings there and still no luck - minor video glitching on some other games with lowered resolution too.
#3) Went to windows troubleshooter and of course it didn't help, just tried to get me to send the file to Microsoft.
#4) Went back and tried to read up here if anyone else had a problem like this. Some are similar, the advice is not giving me a fix.
Hope somebody reads this and will help me out. If I ever get this game working again there is one other question for a campaign game The Preferences screen has the ability to adjust the experience and hitting levels of sides - does anyone know where/what the countries settings are supposed to be for different years of the war or does the game adjust it for me in the campaign?
Thanks!!!
