Screen Resolution fix for Windows 7

[YukonJack_AK]

Actually I'd love too... but for some damn reason CTRL-F11 isn't working to take a screenie (probably a MOD that I installed) and I just tried FRAPS and that's just causing CTD's... So I don't have a clue at the moment

By the way, that fix doesn't work for me no matter what.

Windows 7 64bit, ati radeon 4730... it launches and I get a "loading icon" for infinite time, I have to run task manager and kill the process, no image at all just black screen.

Nevermind - I finally got FRAPS to take a couple of pictures (still can't get CTRL-F11 to work though )

Anyways here's a couple of screenies at 1440x900 with 2xAA and 2xAF

Yeah - Realize that now... Anyone know why hitting PrtScr to take a screenie would cause SH3 to CTD?

I have the same issue with PrtScn crashing the game while using the resfix too.

Ctrl-F11 works, but it can also sometimes crash the game for me.

Mmmm... I have Win7 64 bits and the fix for high res doesn't work at all, when I launch the game I get a black screen for 1 second, come back to desktop in 1024x768 with an error of APPCRASH. When hitting Ok in the error window it simply changes back to the desktop resolution and leave me in desktop wondering why it works for others...

Any idea? It is a real pity, specially knowing that it should work. I have tried to run it at 1680x1050, 1280x1024, even a custom 1400x1050. No success.

BTW, I test it in SH3+1.4b+GWX3, nothing more

Thanks for any idea!

EDIT: SH3 works perfectly with stqndqrd resolution in my Win7 64, no need for run as admin or compatibility mode. Nevertheless I have tested that witht he HiRes and does not work neither.

It works for me, but I have a serious problem.

I am Windows 7 64bit, SH3 1.4b + GWX3.0

I altered the config file so that my resolution is 1920 x 1080. The game looks absolutely fantastic. It now stretches the screens to my full 23" widescreen display, and the graphics are just breathtaking in detail.

HOWEVER, I have a serious problem.

Whenever I go into the periscope or uzo, and click on the scope so as to be able to turn the periscope left or right, WHEN I CLICK AGAIN TO COME OUT OF TURNING THE SCOPE THE TORPEDO FIRE BUTTON IS ACTIVATED, LAUNCHING A TORPEDO!

I have uninstalled all other mods and I still have this behavior. I also notice some of the function keys past F7 are erratic.

What would cause this?

I am using a GTX285 with the last nvidia drivers 197.13. Has someone my same configuration and has succeed to run it a high resolution?

I don't know what to do, and I installed my OS very recently, it is fresh and nice, so I don't think that a reinstall could help.

Thanks for any help to solve this problem

Had the same problem as I too have a 23" monitor that natively supports 1920x1080. Everytime I clicked off the scope, It would fire a fish. Not sure why, but the game "centers" the mouse over a specific location of the GUI when you're in "free-look" at the scope. And due where it centers the mouse, when you click it happens to be right on top of the Fire Button. Thats why I set my resolution back to 1440x900... Game still looks fantastic and no more accidental launches.

I cant get this resolution thingy to work

[GalaxianFive]

I tried this rez fix and wish I hadn't. It ran ok when starting in port but when I saved the patrol it wouldn't reload,just CTDed. started in port again ok but again when saved the save CTDed, this happened every time. Also I could not run the game faster than x64 if I tried it CTDed. Tried all sorts of cures but none worked in the end I did a complete reinstall but as expected my saved carear did not work so after 14 sucessful patrols I have to start all over again, what I get for trying it on vista 32 I guess.

I have this exact same problem. If I find a solution I'll let you know.

Google brought me to this thread.

I'm running Win7, 64bit. Has anyone gotten this mod to work? Or should I try another workaround to ramp up my graphics?
