Silent Hunter 3 Digital Download Graphics

Please move if in wrong forum.

Had Silent Hunter 3 boxed edition when it first came out, Starforce and everything. Ran it on old Windows Vista - graphics looked great.

Move ahead in years and the boxed edition would not install under Windows 7 under ANY circumstances no matter how many tools I tried. Sold it at a garage sale for $5.00.

Move further ahead and saw that indeed SH3 Digital Download off of Amazon for $2.50 can be made to run on with Windows 8.1 so for $2.50 thought since I got ripped once by UBI what's another $2.50. Wrong.

Downloadd great, came with the latest update 1.4b included, started it right up with no CD needed, etc. Looking good. Except when you get to the graphics. it looks like it is running on a Commodore 64. I've never seen so many jaggy lines in my life. Like life in the late 80's. No problem, I'll go in under options and set the resolution. No. there are NO resolutions to run SH3 at.

So my question is, trash it and get over wasting more money on this stupid SH3 that used to run like a charm visually - but under older OS's, or is there some settings somehweres I'm not aware of to bring this back to looking like my SH4 which looks like a picture on my Windows 8.1? Other than running it in a windowed mode that looks like a 4" x 4" box. The monitor I have has resolutions 2560x1440 on down.

Seemed like SH3 had options for running at different resolutions like SH4 has.

Thanks in advance,
Jeff
