Hi mate.:D

Lazy reply.

Provided you are running XP + SP2, this is the easiest resolution fix available.

http://files.filefront.com/SH3+XPSP2+Res+Fix+for+14bzip/;7588690;/fileinfo.html

However, the is still no widescreen support, so your dials & crew may get a little 'squashed' if you are applying this to a widescreen monitor.

In the downloaded archive you have:

d3d9.cfg
Readme.txt
SHIII.sdb
SP2 Rez Fix Uninstall.bat
SP2 Rez Fix.bat

Copy ALL of these into the SH3 Program Folder.

1) Run SP2 Rez Fix.bat
2) Then open d3d9.cfg & set the resolution & screenshot path.

That's it, your finished.:up:
Enjoy SH3 in all it's glory.:up:

Same thing happens to me. I run SHIII+GWX 1.03 on a Win 2k machine.

Im using this and can never get a wide screen look - Is there a way to do this, my monitor is only 19in lcd not a wide screen. But if i play other games in a window and set the resolution to 1280x768 i get the widescreen look, this only works in window mode but see image below and see how it gives the false impression i got some widescreen monitor, what works with this res is everything is spread out. I can do this with SH4 and any other game i run in a window, yet not SH3:damn:

This procedure above works just fine for me on any resolution and aspect ratio I have tried, including 1280x1024, 1680x1050, 1440x900 and 1920x1080 (with some issues at this resolution involving mouse cursor, more here http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=128448 )

So thats a 5:4 ratio, 16:10 ratio and 16:9 ratio widescreen. The graphics scale perfectly for widescreen except some strething of some GUI/HUD components like dials and such, which I can't notice ever while playing to be honest. I have since the availability of this Res Fix Mod, used it to play on widescreen mode except some time on 1280x1024 monitor.

I have Windows XP SP2 and have also tried this mod on XP SP1 and it worked fine on it. Also I can confirm it works with both nVidia and ATI (as I have played on both, including nVidia 7800GTX, 7900GS and ATI Mobility 9700Pro (Laptop) and ATI HD3870. Moreover, I have used hundreds of Mods including GWX 1 and it works fine on it as well. I have never tried it in a wondow, always fullscreen.

So please check your setups and try again. It should work.

Regards.

make sure the resolution you put in the d3d9.cfg is the same resolution your desktop is at or else you will get a ctd
