Yes indeed, out of curiosity, I have removed the WAC mod and only loaded the Ahnenerbe's Widescreen mod, and it works! I haven't been far in the game with it, but I think this is the key for me. I indeed get a 1920x1080 resolution in-game with beautiful and correct-sized gauges, so I think my initial resolution when launching is not important.

I think WAC 5.01 is going to the feasable limit of what is possible, thus the very long loading times.

I will report if I make further progresses in launching SH3, currently I'm trying to see what happens if I change the main.cfg to the allowed maximum of 1280 x 1024 which was the max. in the year 2005 IIRC. I should then be able to launch SH3 without changing my desktop resolution every time.

Thanks! I'll report back.
