Attack periscope annoyance

[prowler3]

When I click in the attack periscope view, to move the periscope, and then click, to release the periscope, my cursor is on the "Fire Torpedo" button and it fires a torpedo even though I am not ready to fire. How is this corrected?

Correct me if I am wrong but are you using the resolution mod? I have this same issue and my resolution is 1920x1080p. I found no immediate fix but for now I would just recommend using the escape key to pause the game of which from there you can unpause it. You could probably also get a GUI where the fire button was in a different spot or even edit it yourself if you knew how to do that.

Yes, I am using the resolution mod. I don't see how that mod would cause this issue? I'm certainly not going to fool with moving the "fire" button. I don't remember having this issue in my past SH3 "lives"? But, It was long enough ago that I may have been using a different resolution.


SO...that brings up another question...If my Windows7 desktop is 1920X1080, what should I set, in my SH3 D3D.cfg so that I get an unstretched SH3 window in fullscreen? Currently my gauges are all ovals instead of round.

For the other problem, you better use mods that are designed to work with this resolution:

Ivanov...would it not be easier to change my PC's resolution to something 4:3, before playing? Although...I seem to not be able to select a 4:3 resolution in my settings :k_confused:

OK...I need to translate that page into English. I tried setting D3D9.cfg to 1440x1080...game crashes after loading screens...Hmmmmm.
