Resolution 'fix' causes crash

[StarLion45]

Yes !! There you have the trap my fiend

Remove and unistall , and delete the Compability kit .
You don't need it anymore . Go also in " regedit " and remove it there too
Reboot , delete and remove the res.fix , and install the res.fix all over again
You see , I done it myself the first time , and understood nothing , then I remember to delete the whole Compability kit . And I solved the whole thing .
After you're finished , report back to me Ok ?

Good Luck

Removed it and deleted a registry entry related to it, but no luck. I still get exactly the same thing. I guess it is some stupid problem related specifically to my computer. Thanks for all the help so far, I guess this game doesn't want to be played by me anymore.

You cant set the res fix resolution to what you want, you have to set it to what your desktop is at.


Copy this --> Res X = 1680
Res Y = 1050

Hope this helps

I have a similar problem and I posted a thread about it last week; the res fix (the new one) causes crashes. If you remove the dll, the game works fine, but at 1024x768. Instead of Nowotny's getting to the loading screen, my game crashes immediately.

Tried to solve the problem by editing the SHIII folder in my documents to widescreen values.....now the game doesn't crash on startup, but the res is 1024x768 again

The problem persists whether you start the game via SHIIIcommander or by clicking the shortcut....

Nowotny's rig and mine look pretty similar Q6600, 9600 GT, Win XP 32 bit, SP3, 2048

Maybe there's a pattern here?

Different computer, same problem.

@ Rem, just check your SilentHunterIII main folder and you should have these files:
d3d9.cfg
d3d9.dll
SHIII.sdb
SP2 Rez fix.bat
SP2 Rez fix uninstall.bat
If you don't you have a problem, if you have them then check your d3d9cfg, should look like this:

;
; DX9res Settings
; by Kegetys <kegetys@dnainternet.net>
;
; Note that this config is reloaded on device reset, so you can task switch out
; of the game, change settings from this file and then return
;

[config]
; ResX: Horizontal resolution setting
; ResY: Vertical resolution setting
; useFiltering: Use linear filtering for UI elements
; enableScreenshots: Hook printscreen keypress to save TGA screenshot
resX=1440
resY=900
useFiltering=1
enableScreenshots=1
screenshotPath=.

[gamma]
; setGamma: Override gamma ramp
; gammaRed: Red channel gamma (1.0 = normal, decrease to add brightess, increase to darken)
; gammaGreen: Green channel gamma (1.0 = normal, decrease to add brightess, increase to darken)
; gammaBlue: Blue channel gamma (1.0 = normal, decrease to add brightess, increase to darken)
setGamma=0
gammaRed=1.0
gammaGreen=1.0
gammaBlue=1.0

Try with the above values, and btw did you run the SP2 Rez fix.bat file first, only has to be done once, you can change the cfg files any amount of times without having to run the bat files?
