Full screen issues

[Baskanos]

OK, following my old lappy dying I'm trying to get SHIII GWX running on my Inspiron 3593, this has the Intel® Iris™ Plus graphic card.


The problem I've encountered is I can't get the game to run in full screen, I've got a sort of square screen with the game in and a black border around using the rest of the screen. I've got the game settings to full screen but can't seem to get it to use the whole of the lappy screen.


Any ideas?

My reistory has three options unlike in the vid where he just has one. Not sure which one to change.

I'll have another go at this over the weekend, I've spent all day trying to get SHIII up and running and what with the crashing (solved) and the weird screen I'm frazzled lol.


Don't have discord, but it's easy enough to install. :Kaleun_Thumbs_Up:

My lappy has only got a Intel® Iris™ Plus graphic card. I've looked at it's settings and can't spot anything that looks full screeny.

Hi MrStoney72 are you using your desktop to configure your screen resolution try using Nvidia control panel to set your display through your Gpu if your dont have Nvidia control panel installed Nvidia driver download from Nvidia website

I just got full screen sir. I used "Wide Screen complete mod for GWX3.0 standard and Stock Sh3 1.4b" by Rubini.


Many thanks for the help you gave to this old sailor.
