So I have installed ST II on my Surface Pro 4 i5 CPU.

When I start the game and get to the Menus for individual game or game settings if I select to change something the menu will not show. I have to press the windows flag button several times go to my desktop then back to the game and I can see the some of the screen change. I still don't see the drop down menus.

I was able to start a non configured game and was able to play a bit. But I cannot configure it.

Any Advice?

Install the unofficial 1.2.5 patch which includes a functional dxwrapper to fix the menu issues.

The menu is frozen, but it actually works. You can click on whatever you want, then alt-tab out of the game and alt tab in and it will have updated. It's a real pain though and so the unofficial patch may just be the better way to go.

Where do we get the unofficial 1.2.5 patch?
This can be fixed by changing compatibility settings through the registry.
I had a similar issue where the game stopped working.

The game seems to work when running it from command line using the flag no intro see below.

armada2.exe -nointro
