RTW3 crash when changing screens

[arminpfano]

When I play RTW3 on my laptop with a second screen connected and afterwards disconnect the extra screen, then funny things happen with the RTW3 windows. I guess the program still thinks it has a bigger screen and displays the windows somewhere I can´t see them. A restart of RTW3 doesn´t help, and also not a Windows restart. When I try to get the "Divisions" window for example, then RTW3 comes to a total halt, not even stoppable by right-clicking the icon in the task bar. I have to shoot it down by the task manager.

I am aware that the core program is quite old and 32bit. Are there any known solutions or workarounds?

I am sorry you are having this issue arminpfano . My primary test/work machine uses dual monitors and frankly I never see this exact issue, but as the problem is greatly dependent upon your hardware environment, your experience certainly can and indeed will vary.

We are looking at a possible path to update the game engine, if that does work out then this sort of issue would (almost certainly) be a thing of the past. Right now we are working on bug fixes/issues, after things calm down a bit a potential engine update is high up on our agenda.

Thanks a lot! This is completely sufficient for me. You and your team did a great job with RTW3, it runs smoother than most other freshly published games. I enjoy it very much and will be a devoted user and customer also up to RTW8 (hopefully comming within my lifespan).
