Widescreen Mod HELP for GWX3 please :)

Tool · 03-26-14, 12:58 AM

Ok.. I haven't played SH3 with GWX3 in a few years but upon trying to tonight i get the 3d engine error. Here are my specs:

Nvidia 760gtx superclocked
Driver 335.23
24" samsung running at 1920x1200
win7 ultimate 64bit
SH3 1.4 w/ GWX3 edition

I can't get it to stretch to fill my screen. I loaded up the gwx3 widescreen mod in JSGME and i either get the 3d engine error, or if i go and switch my desktop to 1360x768 the game only fills up part of my screen. What am i doing wrong? I did go to load up a saved mission and it crashed, but that may have been due to adding the mod later. Can this run at 1920x1200 or are you stuck with the 1360x768 stretched to fit?

Thanks!

I am running with an nVidia 540. I have not found any way to take any of the SH3 widescreen mods to 1920x1280. I just see the game crammed into a small box at lower left - no stretch. And I can't run at 1360x768. Gives the 3D engine error.

BUT, it will run at 1366x768, which is a supported res for my graphics card. That's a 07% distortion, which these eyes can not detect. That is the best I have been able to do. Might work for you.

I have it set to the 1360x768 and it does do a small box until the game loads then goes to widescreen but it still has a 2" black area on the top and bottom of the screen while actually playing. I guess that is the best it will do. I'd like to fill up my entire screen though.
