It might just be your Intel video. I remember having problems running on computers with integrated graphics back in the day. If windowed mode works, might just leave it at that. If you know your screen resolution, you can use the setres command like "setres 1680x1050". It's still windowed but you'll get the most from the screen.

Thanks for the quick response!

Post by: -Diesel.iNv- on Monday, July 29, 2013, 13:10:26 PM: It might be a resolution issue or you may have frigged up your armyops.ini file. Try "Reset and Repair AA" in your setting tab.

Armyops requires compatibility mode to work in win8, PB kicks you if you don't have it on, Windows 8 should automatically set it on startup.

Game on!

Post by: JonnyM on Tuesday, July 30, 2013, 02:03:16 AM: Why, this game was designed to work on 8 year old drivers...

Post by: Spanky on Tuesday, July 30, 2013, 02:13:46 AM: It was also designed to work on dial-up. Just cuz that's the minimum requirement doesn't mean you have to use it :)
