Hi,

Great patch, the only thing is I would like to change the fight height of aircraft. However I can't find the correct parameter under the config file. where are these parameters stored? Is there a way I can change them?

Thanks

Hi.
Yes, it's possible to restore the orginal height of aircraft.
You'll have to open file "zips\db_150.zip" (or "zips_ee2x\EE2X_db_150.zip" for Empire Earth II: The Art of Supremacy). Then open file: "db\dbunitfile5.cfg" with Notepad. Now you can rename units files, for example for fighter:

Code: Select all

db/units/fighter_15.ddf
rename to:

Code: Select all

db/units/fighter.ddf
So the game will read the orginal file for the fighter.
You will have to do the same for: fighter_bomber_15.ddf, bomber_15.ddf, etc.

You can also set your own height by editing .dff files from the folder: db_150.zip\db\Units
For example:
AircraftMove {speed = 5.75; angSpeed = 42; CruisingHeight = 11.0; ElevChangeRate = 1.0}

Unfortunately not, until all the players have modified files Image

Hey.
What graphics card is recognized in the Video Settings (in Empire Earth II)?

I don't think EE2 requires much video memory... Remember that this game was released in 2004 (or 2005), when computer's weren't really powerful.
If you experience lags in game, check out this topic: http://forum.ee2.eu/t1698-empire-earth-2-lag

500MB should be enough, however I think it's just a display error... Does it show the right graphics card in the Video Settings? (the same model as you've got?).

What about lag? Do you experience any?

EDIT:
I checked UP1.5 logs, and it seems that you've got: "AMD Radeon HD 6900", not "R9 280x"?
2014-10-28 01:23:25 (United States) WINDOWS: 6.1 x64 DESKSCREENRES: 1680x1050 MAXSCREENRES: 1680x1050 SCREENRESGROUP: 12 GPUs: AMD Radeon HD 6900 Series FILENAME: EE2X.exe VER: 2 MODNAME: "Official" TYPE: Singleplayer
And btw. did you fix this problem: http://forum.ee2.eu/t1603p30-ee2-empire-earth-2-windows-8-81-fix-ee2x-empire-earth-2-the-art-of-supremacy-windows-8-81-fix-works-with-gameranger#19582 ? Or you're not using that laptop for EE2?

Im so sorry, i was referring the my vid card on my main rig. the radeon 6970 is correct. I decided to use windows 7 for EE as win 8 was just not working. I will try the fog of war fix

Interestingly, I've got 2 PCs running 1.5.1, and they're having an issue with the old "Host has an incompatible installation. Executable differs." error when joining a game.

I'd imagine it's something to do with the screen resolutions being different, detecting a different set.
I've tried to change both to resolution set 12 in UnofficialVersionConfig.txt but they won't "re-compile" the exe after the change. How can I force them to use the same config and therefore have matching exe files?

Thanks I hope that makes sense.
