Resolution problem

jaxa · 11-11-06, 10:52 AM

I've changed my old 17' CRT Samsung for 19' LCD BenQ FP93GX (really fast, good for games) and I wanted to play SH3 at 1280x1024 resolution. I've found one recipe for change resolution at Community manual site, made everything like was written there, but unfortunately nothing happend - SH3 starts at 1024x768 again.Looking here at subsim.com I've found second solution - SH3_SP2_Res_fix. It was wrong way too, nothing changed.What should I do to force SH3 start at 1280x1024?I don't know what should I do.Using SH3_SP2_res_fix I copy d3d9.cfg and d3d9.dll (from dx9res10.zip) to SH3 directory, after that copy SP2 Res fix.bat, SP2 Res fix uninstal.bat and SHIII.sdb and run SP2 Res fix.bat at least. In dx9res10 readme I see "Edit the cfg file for resolution and other settings", but I don't know what to do, which file edit.Could somebody using this fix explain me how to activate it?

If you use the steps in the wiki EXACTLY as they say, it works. I know, I have 1600x1200 right now.

And the default value in the d3d9 is 1280x1024, so you dont have to change anything to get that value.

You must have done something wrong.

If you use service pack 2, you need the windows aplication toolkit.

he also needs netframework 1 or 2 on the system...i run both systems here using the d3d9 files with the toolkit ..sounds like you need to slow down a bit ..reread the instructions...it works.. if you follow it to the letter...i run at 1600x1200 andthe same on the wifes system

Does it mean that I should install .NET Framework first, after that copy dx9res10.zip to SH3 folder and next SH3_SP2_Res_fix?
1280x1024 resolution doesn't work without NET Framework?
Maybe stupid, but how to try what resolution is using in SH3?

What happens when you play the game in 1024x768 ? do you loss too much image quality ? :hmm:

There is a big difference between 1280x1024 and 1024x768 on 19" LCD in games. Try to play at 800x600 on 17" CRT monitor (native 1024x768) and you feel and see difference. I liked to play 1024x768 on 17" CRT, but I'd like to play 1280x1024 on 19".
I'll have to play 1024x768, if I don't fix it. It's not terrible, but frustrated.
What size monitor do you have, Redwine?
