1280X1024

[Rabyn]

I re-installed SHIII and would like to run in 1280X1024. I found many references to check the community manual, but when I go to the community manual site, it says it's been hacked and it's down. Does anyone recall how to do this? Many thanks in advance.

eww i need to do that w/mine i hate 1024x768

I tried the 1280x1024 and I had to change back to the 1024x768 setting as my system crawled to a halt at that resolution making the game unplayable.

That's strange cos you have a better performer than I do and I was able to switch to 1600x1200 resolution. With the default of 1024 768 my frames were around 80+ in rough seas and raining, now it's 55-60 fps, witch is good enough. Home base is a whole different thing of course (at least with IUB and the longer visibility), only 30 or so but it's not important since you have to be there so short times.

No I'm able to see the ship up to 17 000 meters and take a good guess about the ships size and course and in 10000 - 11000 I can count it's masts and ID it pretty well. It is really easy now (compared what it was before) to see different ships in a convoy and position yourself for a better attack. If those escorts allow me

:-?

[Rabyn]

Got it now! Thanks for replies. :up:

I also have a 6600gt and only 768 memory and I'm running at 1280x1024 with no problem at all.
Be sure you have no other programs running when you play (internet, anti-virus, etc etc ).

[CWorth]

Thats whats strange...I have everything turned off that is possible to turn off.

In your home harbor in 1024x768 mode I get 35-40 fps..at sea I get 150-180 fps.When I attack a convoy it never drops below 60 fps.

Yet let me turn to 1280x1024 and I get 18 or less fps in home port...40 and less at sea..and in a convoy attack forget it...I think it drops to negetive numbers once ships start burning. :damn: :damn: :damn:

Its been awhile since I tried it so i may try it again since I recently did a fdisk and reformat/re-install of my system and Windows.

[CptGrayWolf]

Nothing like a good re-format to clean the system up, good luck! :up:

[CWorth]

I just downloaded all the files and setup for the 1600x1200 and SH3 runs perfectly now..Only seems to have some hesitation when a ship explodes but that seems to be a norm even at 1024x768.

Its about time this worked as I was getting tired of the lower resolution.I still may drop it to 1280x960 or 1280x1024 but I wll see how things go once I am in a campaign.

I just noticed something very strange while playing just a short time ago.

I loaded up SH3 to run a patrol...I am using 1280x960 resolution and 2X Antialiasing and my image setting to quality in my vid card controls and also using the 71.89 drivers.What I noticed was the sun had its proper glare effect the entire patrol.

I exited and restarted the game again to see if it was just a fluke..and sure enough on reloading the game the sun had its full glare effect still there at 2X antialiasing setting on my 6600GT card.

Does using the resolution mod fix the sun glare while using Antialiasing setting with Nvidia cards??It sure seems to have fixed it in my system.

This just shocked me when I saw the sun glare working with AA turned on with my Nvidia card.

Man you guys are running SH3 at 1280x1024 or higher resolutions! :damn: Wish i could. But im sure if i up the Res to 1280x1024 im sure my computer would die

Try 1152x864, your card should be able to handle that.

[kiwi_2005]

Whoa. She runs fine at 1152x864.

:)

Haven't tried 1280x1024. :hmm:

[The Avon Lady]

I don't believe that a higher resolution will make that much of a difference in the game's overhead.

Spaxpore, did your mum buy you that beastie computer :D

Anyway i up the RES to 1280x1024 and surprisingly SH3 runs well on mine. I have set Antialiasing to 4x and running just a campaign.

mind you she might choke if i ever come across a huge convoy :88)
