New to SH3 and have a question...

AlHo · 01-16-11, 06:25 AM

Hi,

I am new to subsim and SH3, which I downloaded from steam yesterday. I have installed the grey wolves mod and the SH3 commander program and the cfg files to get them to work together and it all seems to be ok.

However, I have also tried to get the resolution mod to work so I can run at 1280 x 1024 but I cant get it change the resolution, even though I have followed the instructions. When I make the view full screen I think it is still 1024 x 768 as when windowed it says this at the top of the window.

I am running windows 7 64bit - I have seen posts where the res mod works for people with win 7 so I am at a loss, any ideas??

Thanks in advance

Alex

I guess you have GWX, and that your question relates to the resolution, right?

That is the only resolution you can get when running windowed. To get hi-res, you have to run full screen only.

I tried the Resolution Mod and didn't like it. But that's just me.

WELCOME ABOARD!

I've just read my original message and it did'nt make much sense!

Basically I was wondering if there is a way to confirm the res mod has worked - i.e when in full screen mode how can I check the res is 1280 x 1024 rather than 1024 x 768. When I look in the config file of silent hunter itself (not the mod) it says 1024 x 800 so I am a bit confused.

Thanks for the welcome, am really looking forward to doing some missions...

If it worked then when in full-screen mode the picture should be square, with a big black space on either side. The high-res mod doesn't expand the picture, it reduces it to the original dimensions.
