Ok, some more details about my problem...
I've read all 30 pages of this thread, and tried most of the suggestions.
To recap, I'm running SH3 that I got from Steam about 3 or 4 years ago. It's 1.4b with no Mods at all (apart from SH3 Commander, but I had the same issue before I installed that).
I'm running Windows 7 Home Premium 64Bit with 6GB of RAM and an ATI Radeon HD4850 (512MB) Graphics Card.
Basically, I can't get SH3 to not run in 1024x768. My monitor's default resolution is 1600x1200, so I don't even have to worry about Widescreen issues, as it's 4x3.
After reading lots of answers on here, I decided to do things 'properly'. I downloaded and installed JSGME. I then used it to install the 4GB patch and the DX9HiResFix patch and they're all enabled via JSGME. In fact, when I enabled the DX9HiResFix patch, it detected another one (_DX9HiResFix) so I tried enabling that as well.
I also tried things like running the SH3.exe executable in 'Windows XP SP3 Compatibility' mode.
But no matter what I do, the resolution isn't changing when I'm in the game. After each change I've made, I've run the game and started a new single mission, but the screen always looks the same.
Any ideas what else I can try? One thing did occur to me, maybe, just maybe, I'm already at a higher resolution without realising it, and have been all along. So I took a pic of the monitor during the game, maybe someone could let me know if they think I'm in 1024x768 or not. It looks different to some of the screenshots I've seen on here, but with so many mods out there, it's possible that's the difference? It's a 20 inch screen.
Thanks...
J.
