Title: [done]Can't play on Win10
Post by: Kyshuo Ayame on October 16, 2015, 11:36:51 AM: I installed WarII Combat on Windows 10 and can not see the screen of War2Ru server. It is all in black. If I start a game stumbles program without starting the game.

Does anyone know what the problem is?

Thanks.

The 3.15 version works with my windows 10 where as the 4.01 messes the bnet so bad I can't see the chat at all, the games to join and see what maps i'm hosting. Dunno what causes it between the two versions but it's so bad that i had to revert back to the 3.15 version. I'm happy to warvid the games I play against the people that care enough though.

I do hope a fix comes around soon though for that.

I don't think the using 3.15 version instead of latest is a well known temporary fix. At least it works for me :p

Didn't 3.15 have ripped files from War2Custom?

Pretty sure not. I have an old version installed in program files and I don't see War2ploader in the directory. I tried it the other day and I think it gave the gray text on the status page.

What exactly was ripped off?? I can have a look at version 4 and mine (3.15) and compare what changed.

Post by: tk[as] on November 20, 2015, 05:28:22 PM: i just bought a new laptop that came with windows 10. im running that now. i installed war2combat 3.15. i can play just fine. i have the same issues with the chat screen as posted by mousetopher (i had that with windows 8 also so im kinda used to it).. but it's windowed with black bars on the sides and i cant get it to go full screen. it seems like this is a huge problem among lots of people playing old games with no solution yet

anyone know if i can ditch windows 10 and run 7 or 8??? how would i go about that if it's possible
