Just to reiterate for anyone else that might still be having problems with the resolution on windows 7, because this is something I missed the first few times trying these solutions for some reason, even though it has been repeated several times by people here:
Even though you want to run the game at a higher resolution like 1920x1200, you still have to set your windows desktop resolution to at least 1600x1200 in order for the game to start without errors. It will change the resolution up to what you want as long as you set it correctly in the cfg files as stated in this thread. Seems the key for me was finally getting it through my thick skull that I needed to start in a 4:3 aspect ratio, hehe.
Thanks again all!  |
Hey all. I don't want to labour this point too far, but am having trouble with launching SH3 in Windows 8, and I think the issue is one of resolution, so just wanted to check I have things right.
So I set the desktop resolution to a native 4:3 resolution, such as 1600x1200, set the game resolution in the cfg file to...that same resolution? Then it should launch ok?
Currently the game crashes when loading the map, with one little sliver of the download bar remaining. However, strangely, I can load all the sub school missions. Which doesn't make much sense to me
But many thanks on any clarifications offered
