![]() Next time lasted (same kind of test) many minutes as earlier. Hmm if I remember right, I pressed once and waited about 10-15 (maybe even longer?) sec. Generaly speaking if the artillery fix works the way it is supposed to you should have no delay or lag at all in the artillery screen. Then again that issue affected other screens in SPWAW too. I had that type of problem once and solved it by installing an older version of the Nvidia display driver. However if you need to click just once and then after a delay the click registers then that is a different issue. Reason I ask is that if you need to click several times for the selection to register then that is the normal artillery screen bug that the arty fix is made to solve. Or do you mean that you click on the hex once and then after waiting 10-15 seconds the hex gets selected? Then it marked as it should.Īre you saying that you keep pressing the mouse button again and again for 10-15 seconds. each! At least first 2 targets needed 10 seconds without any shift pressing but third needed "longer" process (at least from my viewpoint) and I pressed shift. I went into artillery menu and amazed then I noticed that choosing target hexes lasted only about 10-15 sec. Dxwnd gets updated quite often and sometimes there might be some regression issues with the latest releases.ĭxwnd is available from this web site and it is created by the user ghotik (or gho) all credit for Dxwnd goes to him:ĭxwnd_CPU_slowdown.gif (27.96 KiB) Viewed 615 times Here is the old Dxwnd legacy version 2.03.52 (with added CPU slowdown option) just in case it works better for some users. Go to Compatibility Tab and make sure no options are checked there. You must make sure that mech.exe has no compatibility flags set otherwise Dxwnd won't work properly. Or alternatively you can start Dxwnd.exe and double click the SPWAW entry from there.ĭOWNLOAD LINK: (Based on Dxwnd version 2.03.97) Then start the game from the file: _Start_SPWAW_Dxwnd+ArtyFix.cmd For Windows 7 and Vista it also fixes the color bug.Įxtract all the files to your \Steel Panthers World at War\ main -directory. It also has the option to run the program in a windowed mode if needed. Dxwnd is a program that is designed to run old games on modern systems with better compatibility and should fix the random crashing. The artillery screen fix is a batch file that tries to start SPWAW with the last cpu core on multi core systems. This is a new all-in-one fix that includes both Dxwnd and the artillery screen fix in a single. Then work down at increments of 1 until you find the sweet spot. I suggest you try setting a ratio of 1:10 and working up in increments of 5 until you find the limits of your computer. If the ratio is too low then the artillery screen will remain unresponsive. If you set a too high value then the game sounds start to get distorted and the game becomes slow. There is no one correct value since computers can have a huge variety of processors running at different speeds. (From Dxwnd main window select SPWAW then click on Edit->Modify->Timing.)īy using different values here you should be able to affect the artillery screen mouse responsiveness. If you are still having issues with the artillery screen you can start dxwnd.exe and navigate to the "Timing" tab to adjust your "System speed". Starting with version v2_03_69_build of DXWnd there is now an in-built option to adjust the CPU speed that is similar to what the " BES" program does. The only difference with the full game and the free game are the Mega Campaigns.ĬPU affinity is now set using PowerShell instead of the "start /affinity" command. Ideally everyone should first download the free version of the game and make sure it works before committing to buying the full game. In addition something that is missing from the Product Requirements page is that the game does not work properly on multi core processors. Officially the game only supports Windows /XP. It can be used to fix the colors on Win7 (and Vista) and the “Handle exceptions” option reduces random crashing.įor redundancy the unofficial patch is now also uploaded here:Ī replacement spwaw.exe to fix problemes with the intro movie not playing can be downloaded from here:Īll the fixes provided here on the forums are user made non official ones. The SP:WaW Depot now has an unofficial patch (8.403d) available that corrects the artillery screen unresponsive mouse.ĭxwnd is still very useful for running SPWAW.
