It is a steam release of the GoG version: Three issues with both Single mission selection screen mouse clicks do not move to the next option (such as dawn=>day=>dusk=>night=>random for the time of day) but jump randomly due to the much faster speed of modern PCs. It can be quite frustrating to get the required values This was fixed in 1.28 by increasing the delay time, and I understand that it has also been fixed in EAWPro. No TCP/IP multiplayer Screenshots are corrupted on bigger screens such as 1920 x 1080. 1280 x 960 may be the max This is 1680 x 1050: Jel

Hmmmm, if so there wouldn't be any need for wrappers, the D3D Windower or a Steam or Gog version but there still seems to be a whole bunch of players who report problems. Maybe they should try that 1.28 version, Personally I haven't encountered any such problems with my game but that doesn't mean there aren't similar issues, feedback on the subject is practically zero as there's not enough people to test all available hardware and drivers. People who get it working should count themselves lucky or they can try contacting you. There's also a lot of information and help available on this topic from Mark EAW's Helpsite here: https://eaw.neocities.org/fxexe-patches.htmlVBH

Seems to me that the more people playing decent, playable versions of EAW on Steam and/or GOG, the more likely folks are to investigate updated/modified versions of the game.
If there are any playability issues with either Steam/GOG games, IMHO the Staff at Steam/Gog would make an attempt to correct them, and as long as the person making the complaints took the time to intelligently describe the problem(s) and worked with them towards a solution.
Those experienced Game-Modders here could conceivably offer Steam/GOG) a helping-hand, while still not compromising prior agreements. IMHO, doing so would be doing a good turn for the entire EAW community.

Some feedback re- EAWPro in windows 10 and windows 7. If I run Mark's last available EAWPro in Win 7 there are no problems, other than screenshots with the vertical stripes on the right hand side if the resolution is bigger than 1280x960. If I run it in Win 7 I get a 7217 error, However, if I use the d3d windower it works fine, apart from the screenshot problem and a reduced but still acceptable frame-rate In any case I normally have the "Bandicam" program running to get proper screenies. So, I see no issues re- these operating systems when the users' legacy PCs give up the ghost.

Here is a patch: Steam Patch with OAW You need to have installed the steam version of EAW1.2. Find the EAW folder that steam has installed and make a copy of it. Re-name the copy as "Steam OAW" Put the downloaded "OAWSteamPatch.exe" into the "Steam OAW" folder and run it. When you have done that your folder should look like this: Run the "OAW2021Basic.exe". If it crashes it will be because the Visual Basic runtime files are missing. If that happens then open the "OAW runtime set-up" folder and run the "Setup.exe" file. Agree with everything Then run the "OAW2021Basic.exe" again and it should work this time Select a package and load it. Then launch the game Jel
