Ahhh, propbeanie again! You are of great help. I am using an old, original SH4 PC-DVD. I have patched to v1.4 however immediately after installing from the disc. It is in the standard C:\Program Files (x86)\Ubisoft\Silent Hunter Wolves of the Pacific folder. I then access the Data\Cfg\Main.cfg file exactly as detailed in the above Youtube tutorial. As I stated, it appears to work whenever the second res value is 768, and I can change any of the other graphical settings in-game, check boxes and sliders included. The sensitive area seems to be the resolution for some reason.
One other interesting anomaly I have noted is that changing the textures to high resolution in the game menu does not cause it to not open upon restarting the game. This is unlike selecting "Fullscreen" in game.
To show you, this is what I see in the cfg file in the Documents right now

Resolution=1366,768,60,22
DynamicShadows=No
FullScreen=No
Synchronized=No
TextureResolutionHigh=Yes
This is what I see in the cfg file in the main game folder right now:

Resolution=1366,768,60,22
DynamicShadows=No
FullScreen=No
Synchronized=No
TextureResolutionHigh=No
So for starters, any changes made in game in options only affect the cfg files in Documents. What is very interesting though is that previously, all of the four conditions had to be "No," and it seemed they had to be the same in both the main location and Documents. This was certainly true of "FullScreen." Now, we see here however, that things work when TextureResolutionHigh is "Yes" in Documents, and "No" in the main files. I found this intriguing....
