Has anyone got a widescreen mod working on windows 10?

I've tried all of the major widescreen mods and I cannot seem to get any of them working.

If I start Silent Hunter III without compatibility I get the infamous "Can not initialize 3D Engine" even after setting my desktop resolution to 1024x768. However; I get around this by running in Windows XP SP2 compatibility which allows me to play stock or gwx. But, given I play on a 1920x1080 monitor the tiny resolution of SH3 makes it really hard to be enjoyable. Every widescreen mod I have tried crashes either at the start up the game or during the loading screen when trying to load in a campaign. I literally just re-installed windows again and the first game I installed was SH3 so this doesn't get more vanilla than this.
Only mod I have loaded over GWX is Ahnenerbe WideGUI final.
