Re: Is there a way to fire double canister in scourge of war?

Yes the poor QC for the confederate shell and shrapnel are included in the game. Solid and canister are equally effective for both sides.

Re: Is there a way to fire double canister in scourge of war?

Not as an explicit ammo type. There is a partially effective tweak in the existing canister code that leads to more increased casualties at very short ranges.

Matrix is handling the marketing for GB, you will need to ask them what their current policies are.

Re: Windows 10 Screen

Also check and see what your screen resolution is set at. If it is the same as your screen full screen and not will look the same. Also you many need to check the 'Run as administrator' box as well.

Re: Multi Core support?

According to the Resource Monitor on my system, SOWWL.exe has an entry that moves in the range of about 8.3 to 9.1 in the Average CPU column. At least Windows thinks the game is using a lot more than one core of the CPU.

Re: Uniform bugs

<t>These are not bugs, they are design choices. We decided to continue to make this game playable on 32 bit Windows XP systems. Because of this decision we have a hard limit in how much memory the total game can use. If we go above that limit, the game crashes with high reliability. Uniforms are a s...

Also the size of the battle will make a large difference due to the AI load. As a practical note, most people find anything over 15 FPS to be fully successful in te...
