Greetings, Gang!

After well over a year without SH3, I'm back and doing the Naval Academy gig.

Will do the training and exams in Vanilla mode, then get GWX. Being a computer ding-dong, I don't have a clue on how to adjust the screen.

I need to narrow the view a bit as round objects appear oval (the gaphics spill a bit from the |5" wide-screen.

Can anyone tell me how? :oops:

When I switched to a WS monitor I went into the program that lets me tweak stuff for the graphics card and chose something like "do not rescale." For my ATI card it was Catalyst something or other that came with the card.

Runs the game in the normal 4:3 aspect ratio with black bars on either side. (I use the ResFix mod to make it run at 1400x1050.)

Sorry I can't be more specific, not on my home PC ATM... but if you have software that goes with your graphics card I'd check there to see if there's options for scaling/rescaling and see if one of them works.

Or you can try out a WS mod, there are a couple of threads on those in the Mods forum.

This info may be of little help but I'm running the game on a 22" WS and set the nVidia and monitor both to auto adjust (settings went to 1600 x 900) and everything looks okay without any black edges etc.

I tried that with my monitor, 1600x1050, but the big slideout compass was stretched into too much of an oval shape for me. Everything else (that I saw, granted I didn't play long like that) I could live with but that just annoyed me too much. I toyed with trying to figure out how to modify just the files for the big compass but decided it was more than I wanted to fool with considering I could still make the game run at a 4:3 ratio without any hassle. I still have a bigger playing area at a higher res than I had before so I'm happy. :DL

Still waiting to see how things pan out in the long term with the different WS mods that are out there.

Best policy always...stick with what your most comfortable/happiest with http://www.psionguild.org/forums/ima...s/thumbsup.gif
