INstallation problem + accessing new GUI

[HarryInk]

A few weeks ago I patched LG with 3b RC1 and the GUI reverted to its old version.   I have hardly played since.  I have not been able to change to GUI.   'G' did nothing.  nor Alt+G.  What did I miss?

This evening I thought I'd just reinstall the game, with the 3a and 3b patches.  I did so but the installation was interrupted by one of my kids.   Now the start menu & taskbar on WinXP has disappeared!   Lordy, what have I done!???


Il y a quelques semaines j'ai patched LG avec 3b RC1 et le GUI ont mal tourné à sa vieille version.    J'ai à peine joué depuis. Je n'ai pas été en mesure de changer à GUI. 'G' n'a fait rien. ni Alt G. Qu'ai-je manqué ?


Ce soir j'ai cru que je réinstallerais juste le jeu, avec le 3a et 3b patches. J'ai fait ainsi mais l'installation a été interrompue par un de mes enfants. Maintenant le menu de début et taskbar sur WinXP ont disparu! Mon dieu, ce qui fait faire je! ? ? ?

You must have a resolution monitor al leat 1280x1024 (is need to change setup of HWLG,before start game) .
I remember a JMM post on this.


Starting HWLG

-Les grognards (battle)
-OOB editr
-Map editor
-Doctrine
-Setup (select 1280x1024)
-Exit

Ah... I don't have that on my laptop, but I do have it on my #2 monitor.

The startmenu issue is solved.

Hmmm no, that's not the issue.  My other laptop has the better GUI but is only on 1280 x 800 resolution.

I found this of JMM

GUI2 needs a width display over 1280 pixels, otherwise you can't active the GUI2.
To change the width..
a) launch histwar.exe
b) Setup and choose a width >= 1280
c) save the configuration

In windowed mode, you can expand the display size like all other applications.

Clear

PS : in betatest (03a RCx), software doesn't check the width but a part of lateral box wasn't displayed.

Sorry only width >=1280 is need.
