Dear Sirs,

I have donne all that Matrox's SGU utility says I should do to be able to play Battle of Britain II: Wings of Victory which they state have native support for widescreen gaming. First, I didn't found one of the options, but after I installed the latest patch for the game [2.06] it appeared, but didn't solved my problem:

- when I launch the game, it's process appears down in the taskbar, but instead of showing the menu on the central display, it shows there only the icons usually on the left display, BUT with the triple-desktop-image horizontally compressed on it.

- my solution now is to launch again the game, and now the menu appears on the central display, with the triple-screen activating after entering "FLY" mode. But this is ugly and untidy.

- the unpleasant part is when I exit the game: the first launch is still lurking in the taskbar and only the central screen is active. To return to normal thre-displays-desktop, I have to Ctrl-Alt-Del and kill the first launch of BoB

I wrote to Matrox's Technical Support and they said they fix only HARDWARE problems [as SGU is not their application and though their responsibility...] and they redirected me here.

I have donne a forum search with "Battle Britain" but I found only Paddy the Wak's detailed repport. It helped on patching the game, but didn't had anything related to my issue.

Please, anyone any hint?!?

Welcome to WSGF, you should really put this in Surround Gaming Tech Support section but a mod will move it at some point.

Some games menus just don't work in TH, I am afraid. If you have the tech ability you could search through the .ini files etc and find (maybe) where the settings for the menu can be changed.

I don't have the game and it is quite old so maybe no else around here still does. Paddy got it working on his old rig 3x1280x1024 (not triple wide screen, are you using trip wide?)

PM Paddy maybe he will be able to help?

Reposted in "Surround Hardware & Tech Support". Thanx.

BTW: Paddy's only post about BoBII - I have seen it before posting but didn't found there anything pertinent to my problem. He's donne it without my problems. Maybe because I have the Digital Th2Go and he might have the Analog one?
