The thing is, a lot of us have purchased LCD monitors since sh3, and our widescreens look crappy when not run in their native resolutions. It's not as big a deal if you are still using a CRT monitor. Widescreens simply NEED to stay in their native resolutions. And we were promised high res and widescreen suport.

It needs to be fixed, somehow.

So people that don't have WideScreen LCD will not notice? If true glad I kept my trusty CRT, and didn't jump on the LCD bandwagon. Is this current problem everyone in this thread is bitching about just a Widescreen LCD problem? If so then you need to make that clear.

And where the hell did you get the game? Its not even shipped yet.

Your trusty CRT will notice, if you plan to play above 1024x768. The game is out in several countries now, some have bought it in the US too.

Can you post a link to the page that answer is on? I just searched those answers and did not see it.

It's in the recently released developer interview video.

Actually, this isn't an LCD problem. Since the game framework "supports" widescreen, the image will fill the whole physcial screen, however apparently the 3-d world is rendered in low rez, then upscaled.

So LCD and CRT people get equally screwed here...

Same as XanderF, got an LCD...without FSAA games look much worse on an LCD, but I prefer LCSs as they are better for my eyes. Mine has got max res of 1280x1024 - does that mean tht I will have a damn jaggy game?not going to cancel my order, though...But I can't believe that after releasing beta version of SH3 they did the same with SH4...

hi folks!

if it is true, it's a NO GO. :down:

just canceled my pre-order a few minutes ago. telling the people, sh4 would support higher resolutions than 1024x768 and now we get this? omg, it's almost the biggest lie and dumbest fake thing i've ever heard of. shame on the devs. :nope:

evil666, disappointed german customer

(sorry for my bad english) :oops:

lets just tar and feather them and be done with it

CCIP 03-19-07 06:56 PM

How many people other than the original poster here have confirmed this issue?
It could be a singular case; in another thread, someone suggested that SHIV needs to be restarted after changing resolution.

Please verify the issue before making such a fuss - I hope all this yelling is justified by more than one report!

On the other hand, it doesn't bother me, since I'm locked at 1024x768 and an old vid card anyway :p

What I have read it is the interface that is adjustablet to higher resolutions. Is not the interface the gauges and buttons on the bottom?

CCIP 03-19-07 06:59 PM

Also, looking through the forums, I've seen several reports of people running the game at 1600x1200. Are they blind, or is there something possibly wacky about this panic? :hmm:

Jeez I hate that I saw this thread :( Was excited to run out and get SH4 tomorrow, I cut my sub-sim teeth on Silent Service II way back in 1990 and have been waiting 17 years to get back in the Pacific! This is making me think twice but I imagine I'll get it anyway. (What can I say, I ain't the brightest light that shines!)

Personally, I blame the mod community for this (tongue-in-cheek here, OK?) Look what they did for SH3, they turned it into the game that UBI should have released to begin with, and all for free! Can you blame UBI/devs/whoever? I'm sure they were going "Let's just get the game released. The mods will finish it for us and make it a game worth playing, and it won't cost us a cent! Meanwhile we'll make big $$$ on the hype we've generated!!!"

Let's try to look on the bright side, in 6 months or so hopefully, the modders will give us the game we paid UBI for! You guys that make the mods RULE!!!

It seems several pages are missing, maybe pre-forum crash.

Possible! I see one person stating an issue at this point. We can not doubt his pictures. Does anyone else have any?

Also, I read the interface can be changed. Is not he interface the buttons and dials?

Upscaling a dated 1024x768 resolution to higher resolutions, rather than natively supporting them, may likely be a show stopper for many.

There's a thread at the official forum in the community tech help section saying the same thing.
