Res Fix and Vista SP1

[Fubar2Niner]

Hi me hearties.

I was wondering if anyone has the resfix thingy working succesfully with Vista ? Reinstalled SH3 afresh yesterday along with GWX 2.1. Everything is working fine so far, but I'd like to get the res up.

Best regards.

yup, SH3_Mod_DirectX9Res10.zip works fine for me under 64-bit vista sp1.

Works fine for me using Vista 32 ultimate with SP1:up: You have to configure your d3d9.cfg in your SH3 directory where you should have installed it.

example config file info,

[config]
; ResX: Horizontal resolution setting

; enableScreenshots: Hook printscreen keypress to save TGA screenshot
resX=1680
resY=1050
useFiltering=1
enableScreenshots=1

; setGamma: Override gamma ramp
; gammaRed: Red channel gamma (1.0 = normal, decrease to add brightess, increase to darken)
; gammaGreen: Green channel gamma (1.0 = normal, decrease to add brightess, increase to darken)
; gammaBlue: Blue channel gamma (1.0 = normal, decrease to add brightess, increase to darken)
setGamma=0
gammaRed=1.0
gammaGreen=1.0
gammaBlue=1.0

Red area is the resolution you need to change according to your wishes.

Yeah it works fine as far as I can tell, I'm running vista though, not XP. I just checked, I have SH3 running at 1280x1024@60hz, the max resolution of my LCD. Should I be using a different version? Also, I plan on upgrading to a nice new widescreen LCD sometime soon. Will SH3 work in widescreen without stretching?

Both my laptop and desktop are widescreen, the laptop does stretch it; albeit I haven't seen any negative effects. On the desktop have a 21" widescreen and by default loads it into 1600 x 1200. Doesn't strecth it so you get the black bars on the left and right side of the screen.
