Hello everyone, not sure if this is the right spot to stick this but here it goes, Me and a friend got back into total annihilation (Windows 95 game), I'm currently running windows 7 I have a laptop and a desktop, On my laptop it works perfectly fine no colour problems no flickering screen. My desktop is a different story all together I get some serious colour glitching with it, Please see picture. I know how to get around it for single player add the -D tag to the shortcut, How ever i'm using warzone client to get online with friends the war zone client starts the game straight from the .exe by passing my shortcut. I tried putting my desktop to 640x480 turning my colour to 16 bit mode, Turned off all windows 7 effects, Tried backwards compatibility.

Woah, you just made my day. I forgot all about that game. Anyways back on topic, you say you've tried compatibility mode and no luck, its a long shot but you could try updating your drivers or rolling them back.

Hi i have a different problem i brought TA on steam it works it loads up but the problem is the screen.. it shifts to the right not my icons but my folders i have open obs as well..I have two monitors so my open folders and obs gets move over to that one then when i exit the game they move back. Also after i complete a level it closes down into a small black box in the top left hand corner then resets it self after a few seconds. I'm using WIN10 by the way.. it works with non of the Box's being ticked in compatibility I've tried every combination from win95-win8 8-bit 16-bit 640x480 DPI Disale full screen AND admin. SO if have any ideas thank you.
