I think I'm right in saying that the "no map contact updates" was set up like that in an earlier version of GWX (and carried through to GWX KC), for the following reason:

- Using that setting requires quite a steep learning curve, even for many very experienced players.

- So, in theory, that setting should contribute a very high % contribution to the maximum of 100% difficulty, which of course affects the amount of renown earned by the player (100% difficulty gives the player 100% of the renown earned).

- However, doing that would then mean many (probably the vast majority?) of players, who will never want to use that setting, will not be able to get 100% renown. So I think that's why it was set to 0%.

One could also argue that advanced players who prefer to use "no map contact updates" are quite likely to also know how to mod the difficulty percentage settings to suit their preferences.

As a side-note: I think Kpt. Lehmann mentioned recently here that changes to the renown system will be considered.

OK, so I know my system is old and antiquated, but are there any easy fixes for this? I tried editing d3d9.ini [ENGINE] setting for the monitor DisplayWidth and DisplayHeight and while that eliminates the 3D error the game is not centered properly on the monitor.

Specs:

Alienware Aroura R4 (2012) BIOS A11 11/26/2013
Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium Version 6.1.7601 Service Pack 1 Build 7601
Intel Core i7-3820 CPU @ 3.60GHz, 3601 Mhz, 4 Core(s), 8 Logical Processor(s)
RAM 16 GB
AMD Radeon (TM) R7 370 Series Graphics
2 monitors of varying resolutions (1440 x 900) & (1600 x 900)

Edit: Stock SHIII loads and runs just fine, it is only when opening/running GWX-KC that I encounter these problems.

I'm sure your probably already aware but I noticed the medium freighter's map silhouette when zoomed in shows up as a red/enemy ship similar to like an SH4/5 silhouette would look rather than a hand drawn black one like the other ships.
