Hi,
Noticed strange problem today when tought I would play little, even earlier decided I would wait for 1.03 patch.
Anyway I have IBM T23 laptop with 1400x1050 screen and S3 SuperSavage IXc display card.
Earlier I have had no problem playing in highest resolution. But today when tried to run game it crashed to desktop when I selected scenario and country and pressed Start. Display flickered couple times, like it was changing resolution and then went to desktop.
Just tought I would try and noticed that when set HOI resolution to 800x600 I could start game. But because using lowering resolution results making used area of LCD screen smaller I really do not want to play it on that resolution.
I have not changed anything ...but wouldn't be surprised if S3 drivers change something depending on what state I do things (is external monitor connected when remove it from options etc.)
Not sure if you could call this bug but I think there should be some kind of message if game cannot be started because of incompatible video mode.
Also would like to know what kind of video mode HOI actually needs? Like I said I have 1400x1050 display so 1280x1024 what is maximum HOI supports is not problem. At this resolution I can have 32bit color, and refresh rate is always 60Hz on this LCD. On monday I can try it more when go to work and have external monitor available.
