I know that I can avoid that if my "eaw.ini" is set to 1024x768, but as I do not need to use the windower in Win10 I do not modify my "eaw.ini" setting.There is a little program I got called Diretx Windower. To run EAW I double clicked on its icon in the "D3DWindower" window, and EAW ran in a window which was 1024x768 for the selection screen, and the size in my "eaw.ini" file for the game.īecause it was in Win10 and not Win7 I got a CTD when the game screen should have appeared. I closed the "D3DWindower" window, and then re-opened it by running the "D3DWindower-English.exe" again.ħ. The file did not actually move but shortcut for it was placed in the "D3DWindower" window.Ħ. I left clicked on the "eaw.exe" in the "UAW160 2020" folder and dragged it into the "D3DWindower" window. For the next screenie I rearranged my desktop, but all that is really needed is your "UAW160 2020" folder open, and the window that you get when you run the "D3DWindower-English.exe"ĥ. There were a couple of useless text files in the installation which I moved to a junk folder, so my folder looked like this:Ĥ. The download was a "rar" file which I put in a new folder which I had named "D3DWin" on my desktopģ. This has enabled me to takes screenies of what a user needs to do to install it on a Win7 driveġ. However, as it is not installed on my Win10 drive I downloaded it from the link and installed it in Win10. Windows 10 is tricky with the D3DWindower, and I do not need it. How I installed the D3DWindower after downloading it
On the "Foreground Control" and "Direct Input" tabs none of the checkboxes are ticked.
The selection screens are in 1024x768 and the game runs in 1600x900 because that is set in the "eaw.ini" file. Setting height and width to zero forces it to use the default resolution. My configuration for the "2020GR" is this: Sometimes the first time it does not launch because of a Win 7 issue, but if it does not launch I double click again. In windows 7 I double click on the "2020GR" and it launches. The issue arose in a PM, but I thought that the info in my reply might be useful generally, so hence this post However, if I fly at GameRanger, or want to fly "host only" multiplayer, I do not need the D3DWindower at all, and I do not need it at all in Windows 10. I need it because the single mission map screen is impossible to read for target and base selection.
I use the D3DWindower only in Vista on my old laptop and in Windows 7 on my desktop PC.
