I have tested this & fixed pallette issues & playing in full screen on 2 Vista machines

http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/showthrea...post742676

To clarify his post
1) Unzip to your game directory.
2) To run the game use it not the game icon.
3) If it works still have to make adjustments from SP front end so start the game as normal.
Adjust as like i.e. windowed to full sceen & resolution changes if want.
Shut down the splash screen
4) Run it again as per 2.
If alls good as I expect do the same for your other instals send it to desktop as a shortcut.
Change the icon & rename to MBT or WW2

Please report back if it works or not that way it will have a good chance of becoming part of the game if it fixes the majority of problems.
A little thanx to NCrawler for perservering would not go amiss either.

On a further plus note for those of you with the CD looks like we will have widescreen support next patch:jaw:

Sorry seemed obvious to me but to expand on point 1) in the post above.

Unzip it then copy the file win7fix into your game directory not the folder.

Now go to point 2) & follow the instructions.

Has this worked for anyone I now know 3 people that have tried it & all work correctly now.

Tried it and it fixed the color issue. The first time I played using it I got a computer crash (locked up completely and even ctr-alt-del didn't help). The second time it worked nicely for a whole scenario.

Cheers for that answer Fred, nobody else has mentioned the crash problem, hope it was a one off caused by first time it ran.
If it happens again can you post along with details of your operating system.
