Hi there,

today I've decided to finally use the D3D patch. I'm using 20" widescreen and till now I was playing in 1024 fully stretched (so circles aren't circle) but it looked very nice. The only thing was with ropes, antennas, masts etc 1024 couldn't just cope with very thin objects. Also observing ships from peri was ugly pixelized. Patched, entered 1680x1050 as my LCDs native resolution and prayed. I was speachless. 8x Antialiasing Supersampling, 16x Aniso filter, Triple buffer, Trilinear filter. Yes this is 6800GT :arrgh!:

Screen 2 (http://mrhadrys.com/silenthunter/1680_02.jpg)
Screen 3 (http://mrhadrys.com/silenthunter/1680_03.jpg)

Ok, going back to the game, it's just too beautiful!!!

PS my F9, F10, F11 keys don't work after the patch. I need to alt+F10 to use the 88.

Gute Jagd

Don't know exactly lol, I've read about it around here, downloaded it some time ago.

SH3_XPSP2_Res_Fix_for_1.4b.zip

And now tell me that SH4 is better. It looks like sh** even in 1680...

If you mean the d3d9 patch there is one draw back, the mouse cursor will disappear on the right & bottom of screen, can be a pain especially with slideout mods (dials etc), other than that yes a good mod, the graphics though are still 1024x768 just stretched, the best hi res mod is to activate AA & FSAA.:yep:

Yes, I've got the same problem but definitely I can live with that! Just curious about those F keys... they don't work in windows either when I minimize SH3.

PS Reece this is your latest scene and sky mod - bless U!

I asked this question before a while back in a separate thread... but it's related to resolutions so I will post it here...

I it possible to have SH4 running in the original aspect ratio on a widescreen with an ATI card. I'm using the 7.5 cats and can't find the setting anywhere
