I've always wondered how to do this. I could never get the little program to work.

I think I go into My Documents/SH3 then the Main CFG file and change it?

What about the folder in the actual SH3 directory? That is another Main CFG file. Do I change that one as well and why?

Search the forum with the words "resolution fix" and you'll find your answer. There's no built-in capability in SH3 to change the resolution.

So if I want to change it without downloading the resolution fix program then all I have to do is change the 2 main.cfg files (the one in the SH3 directory and the one in My Documents) from 1024x800 to 1152x864 and this is all I need to do???

Please???

Hi there again Lanzfeld

So you mean I should change my resolution to 1152x864
instead of 1280x1024 . Does this make it more effecient Instead of change my resolution from 1024x800 to 1280x1024 ??

Will it work much better then ?

Thanks

I tried to search it but the "community manual" just leads to a sales website.

How do I change the res without using the downloaded res fix?
