Yes, this fixed it for me as well. Cheers!

Hi there!
Does anyone know if it is possible to somehow increase witdh of lines drawn by different plotting tools? They are very thin, when they are not selected they are barely seen and indistinguishable from map grid lines. It would be helpful when preparing attack based on geometric plot.
Thanks

Is there a way to reduce the resolution to one of the same ratio (16:9)? Because I want to use the mod on my laptop and its native resolution is 1600x900.

Hello, and first of all thank you for this wonderful mod!
It enhances the visuals of the game so much that it blows my mind.

I used the mod succesfully for an year or so. I play the game with GWX pack installed.
After coming back to the game and continuing my campaign I noticed that most of the times I try to reload a campaign save, the game crashes to desktop.

I uninstalled rest of my minor mods from the game and tried with and without the "Ahnenerbe WideGui 1920 x 1080" (with JSGME) and found the following:
- No crashes whatsoever without the WideGui-mod
- Loading Single mission results in CTD rarely
- Loading Campaign saves results CTD sometimes 50 times in a row, and sometimes I can reload the saves just fine many times a day

What really confuses me is that the game with the WideGui-mod installed can work just fine for a week without a single crash, and then suddenly I'm unable to continue my campaign with the mod installed.

I searched the forums for similiar problems and found only few occurences and no real solution. I think fitzcarraldo had similiar problem but managed to fix it somehow.

Any help would be highly appreciated since I'm reluctant on playing the game without the 1920x1080-mod.

Saved games crashing when loading will be a compatibilty issue.
Windows 10 does not like SH3.
Run in compatibilty mode for Windows 7.
Run all your applications as administrators.

Remember SH3 was designed in the days of VGA monitors with a 4.3 aspect ratio.

Your game also needs to be using the 4gb patch application.

Welcome to SubSim Mussalo :Kaleun_Salute:

Thank you for your warm welcomes kaleuns!


Regarding THEBERBSTER's advice, what makes things odd is the randomness of the problem: like said there can be times reloading works a-okay, but then CTDs for a week.

I did the compatibility fixes one by one, testing in between, and all of them at once. Did not help.


I however have not installed the 4GB patch to my recollection (old install, and I'm a newbie to the game anyway).
I logged the memory usage when starting the game and loading the save:
It peaked at ~ 1,6 GB before crashing, so if the maximum available to the game is 2 GB (?) then it might on the limit.
This also would make sense on the randomness.

I did not install the patch since I understood old saves don't work too well after that.
Maybe I get confirmation once I have the courage to abandon the beloved old crew of mine..
:k_confused:

Does anyone have files for Sh3speech for ahnerbe gui?

THEBERBSTER, a month has passed since I installed the 4 GB - patch.
At first it seemed like it did not help: the game still crashed right after loading the career save, right after the text "Not so long ago...". Though before the patch it crashed before the text came up.

After a week of doing nothing but trying few times a day, it now works 100 % of times and I've played the career for three weeks now.
I know sometimes these games and mod setups can be a bit tricky and quite unique on how they act on everyones PCs but this is by far the weirdest behaviour I've encountered!

Well I'm not complaining: now I can enjoy the WideGui and the sea gods were even kind enough that the old career work like a charm after the 4 GB - patch!


The game still peaked at ~1,6 GB of RAM usage at the game so no change in there.
BTW I'm running the game on 64-bit Win 7 with 8 GB of RAM.

Thank you for your advises!

An awesome mod if it can be used with the stockgame, so I could play at 1920x1080 in Win7 Pro x64. Is it possible to do with the stock game patched at 1.4? I'm asking this, because I have removed all my WAC 5.01 mod files and just loaded 'Ahnemerbe's widescreen mod for WAC 5.01' over the stock game, and it WORKED. Or will I get into problems that I don't see at first glance? Should I better load the 'Final' version linked in the initial thread?

Thanks,

Thanks TheBerbster to confirm me this, I will go with it, I hope that it will be compatible when adding smaller mods and laoding it at the end in JSGME.

:)

Hi XS
The gui mod should not have any affect on additional mods enabled and you correctly point out to place it last so it cannot be overwritten.

Only glitch is: the german accents like ä, ü, ö are not rendered in the game menus and in-game texts. This has been corrected in the 'Ahnenerbe's Optimized Widescreen for WAC 5.01'.
I wonder which files I must transfer to correct this [EDIT: see end of this post]

Else I can confirm the mod works perfectly, for example I have loaded an older setup like this:

WAC 2.0
WAC 2.15
WAC_Revert_UBoot_Interior (a mod from me)
Hotfix 2.15
WarAceCampaign_Sky_Fix
FlagMod
Ahnenerbe's Final Widescreen.

With this setup the game loads very FAST (an alternative to the slow WAC 5.01) and so the game plays flawlessly.
For the kicks, I will try to add the WAC 5.01 U-Boat Interiors to see if it works...I guess yes because there are far less decor objects in the 3D world to load :)

[EDIT]
To correct the german accents in Ahnenerbe's final mod, you need to download 'Optimized WAC5.01 WidescreenGUI 1920X1080 Ahnenerbe.7z' and take these files from it as a replacement in this mod:

C:\...\data\Menu\Fonts (all files, overwrite)
C:\...\data\Menu\menu_1024_768.ini (overwrite this one)

Are u ever tried to play with manual targeting by this mod? U changed grid rule(tickmarks) which do not correspond to RAOBF. Good hunting, Sir!

Welcome to SubSim Tasatko :salute:

Just an FYI for my situation.

Just started using this amazing mod. 1st wide-screen effort I have used.

Working perfect with:

Windows 10
Steam SH3
4gb patch and watever else is mentioned in my signature.
Run on a 27 inch monitor that matches the game resolution.
Run SH3 as admin.
Zero problems. Stable

..... incredibly fun.

Hi subsim and a happy new year :D
First of all. I'd like to admit that I'm amazed that such a great game I considered to be rather niche has such great community, which I'd love to be part of, but unfortunately my liking for WWII reach as far as simply enjoying sim games, so i will rather just be a leech and seek help.

When I first started playing this game I was a little kid with no knowledge about mechanics included, i just used to sit in front of pc with my dad next to me who said everything I had to do, there were submarines, there were torpedos going shuuuush, ships going BOOOM first and then glubglubglub into the ocean, thats really all i needed to enjoy it. Now, when i decided to return to this little gem it turned out that "little" isnt really an adequate word to describe its depth. So i played vanilla for quite a while, then found out about megamods, decided to give GWX a try and i love it. After modding it some more i got to know that there is a way to fit it on a 16:9 ratio screen instead of having those black rectangles on the sides. The point is, whether I start GWX with widescreen GUI the naval academy works just fine, but neither does campaign nor single missions(so i suppose it might be a problem with game's memory usage). It suprised me, since both MaGui's and Ahnenerbe's GUIs work when applied to vanilla versions and are said to be compatible with GWX. I tried 4GB patch, did nothing, tried DX9HiResFix, did nothing, tried downloading some d9d3 files and switching them in game directory, did absolutely nothing. So here's i come, asking for help, because having to choose between GWX and wideguis is hard and so many people got them working.

Now i'm running newly installed SH3 on Win10 (via Uplay) with GWX, JSGME included in GWX, 4GB patch, without the h.sie patch though, since i can't get it to patch .exe file.

Good hunting for all the Kaleuns out there in the new year :Kaleun_Salute:
