Default Using qres to change resolution automatically

Although SH3 runs fine in higher resolutions like 1920x1080, for some people (including me) the game only starts when desktop resolution is 1024x768.

I have a simple workaround for that:
Get qres from here.
Qres can change resolution, color depth etc. from command line.

Create a batch file which change desktop reslolution to 1024x768 before running the game and changes back after you exit game.
My file (sh3.bat) contains this:

Code:
qres.exe /x:1024 /y:768 /c:32 /r:60
sh3.exe
qres.exe /x:1920 /y:1080 /c:32 /r:60
Edit parameters in the third line according to your desktop resolution.

Good hunting.
