Latest Patch and Utilities for Hasbro Axis and Allies CD-Rom 1998
-
After messing around a while getting this to run on Windows 8 (technically Windows 8.1, 64 Bit), I thought I would post my 2 cents on the best way to get it to run.
1. Download and install AAStarterPackFull60.exe (or Install from the original CD, then download and install AAStarterPack60.exe).
2. Copy the Data folder from the CD to the Programs directory if music/videos are desired (typically C:\Program Files (x86)\Hasbro Interactive\Axis and Allies).
3. Run AAHelper, uncheck “Enable DirectDraw Emulation”, and set “Limit Process Affinity” to “On when Movies Enabled”.
4. Download an updated drawfix file. I can’t post links, but you can find it on the page linked to by aqrit above (see his Feb 26 2013 post on that page). Extract drawfix.dll from the zip to the Programs directory, replacing the original.
5. Run the game. While in the game, hold Alt and hit enter twice. This will change out of and back to full screen mode. You will need to do this step each time you launch the game.A couple notes:
- I did not have to set compatibility mode to a previous windows version, or have the program run as administrator.
- If you skip the last step above there will be some bugs in the program, most notably some slow animation. For example, the battle screen with the dice will take 5 seconds or more to load before every battle. For some reason changing out of full screen and back makes it run at a realistic speed.

I installed the game on laptop with win8, the games starts incredible fast and the flags are moving so fast in the wind I can almost not see the animation… but after 15-20 minutes, the game slows down more and more so I cannot barely not scroll the map or see the animations of exloding units… what can be wrong?
is starts perfectly fine and then slows down so I have to restart every 15 minutes.
and Iäm not sure of you guys, but for me it takes more than 15 min to beat the axis so I have to restart quite many times… :) -
any one has the same problem or know how to solve it?

Maybe try running it under Windows 98 compatibility mode? I have Windows XP and it seems to work okay for me.

I’m trying to download the starter pack from the ewarzone link, but the computer can’t find the host. Is there something wrong with the website?

Just way outdated.
Give TripleA a try instead. Just look for these stickies in this subforum:

This thread is fairly outdated and only kept pinned for reference purposes.

@panther I’m aware of how old this thread is. Is there any mirror for that patch? I have a monster of a save file and I’d love to finish my game. :(
Or any instructions to do some of the modifications myself?

I uploaded the patch here:

My first time attempting this so hopefully it works.
