I originally posted this on the review section of the store page but I figure I would post it here in case anyone from Tech Support reads this. Here is a copy and paste.

Patch 9.1.4 Has Screwed-Up the Graphics

April 1, 2022 Verified owner

Before the 9.1.4 patch this game was a 4 or 5 star title for fans of the Panzer General style games.

Now after using the new 9.1.4 installer on my new laptop, the graphics are messed up. When you hover over a campaign, instead of seeing the title in the little pop-up, you see what looks like smudged writing.

When you hit launch, the pop-up that gives you the title and initial briefing also has the smudged writing appearance. At the bottom of the window it should read "Continue", but again the fonts looked like someone wrote it on paper then poured water over the paper.

I own the base game with the Pacific campaign as well as Allies Defiant, I noticed this trouble after I purchased Allies Resurgent and tried to install on the new computer. I have since asked for a refund for Allies Resurgent, and I see the credit is in my wallet.

I realize some people will say "Are all your drivers up to date?" The answer is "Yes". As a test, I went to the Slitherine web site and obtained a free copy of the game which is just the Boot Camp mini campaign. I installed the Slitherine version and used the 9.1.4 patch found on Slitherine's site. Low and behold everything works and looks fine. There is something obviously wrong with the install/patch on Gog's site.

I am not sure if the Gog trouble exists if you use Galaxy. I prefer off-line installers so I do not use Galaxy.

Be well. Thanks for reading.
