so I wanted to continue my campaign, but had an issue where the screen was too big on my 1920x1080 HDTV obscuring the controls around the edge.

after some fumbling around, I solved it by turning GPU SCALING=OFF and PRESERVE ASPECT RATIO=ON

This is with the latest AMD drivers.

I know this is not what the instructions say, but something seems to have been modified in the more recent drivers.

Just posting this as a tip to anyone else who might have the same issue.

so I very much like this mod, however ran into some issues with the campaign gameplay.

late may 1940:

1. ran into an "enemy" convoy off the southern tip of Norway heading east, at a time when there should only be neutral/friendly ships in that area;

2. off the northern tip of Scotland, ran into a totally unprotected 5 ship convoy, no escort and none of the ships were armed, was able to sink 4 with my deck gun;

Does this mod use the SH3 stock campaign? If yes, is there a more realistic campaign mod that is available, like RSRDC in SH4?

Hi BR
May 1940 Norway would be classified as an enemy even though it was occupied by Germans.
Cannot answer your question regarding the campaign difficulty.
Are you sure your 5 ships was not a neutral convoy?

There was a red box around the contact on the Nav Map, but I did not check the flags.

Anyway pushing on into the Atlantic and will see what happens.

Default Steam version of SH3

Hi, I'm really sorry if this question has been asked before but I have look every where I hope? But will Living Silent Hunter III Edition run on the steam version of SH3?

Hey guys, slowly coming back to career. In the manual LSH3 Team said it was required to have minimum 8 gigs of ram and 2 on GPU to run this puppy smooth. However, is that really enough? Don't forget that there is an entire system that runs in the background + possibly couple of apps.

Hi Sw
I guess unless you are running with that type of limited system you will not know.

In the GPU's Control Panel you may well have settings that can lower things like light shafts and shaders which are high end performance users.

In the Windows Control Panel
System
Performance
Settings
Performance Options
Visual Effects
You will probably see that Windows selects the default setting to take charge.
You have the option here to make preset changes or you can customize.
Also in the Advanced Tab is the option to run Programs or Background Services.

Thanks THEBERBSTER,

I am gonna make sure to have like 12 gigs of ram. Guess there's no need for more.

That should do.

Cheers.
