The 4GB patch is only if you are using WAC 4.1. If you are a GWX user wanting to use the Sub Pens mod, the 4GB patch is not needed.

All I can say, is that if you can't get Sub Pens to work, try the 3GB switch (This is not to be confused with the 4GB Patch, they are 2 separate things).

Didn't someone fashion a mod that allows the sub to start inside the WAC pen when used with GWX?

Okay, no problem ! Please look at the coordinates if you have time !

It is only important that you look, and when not to!

sh3.exe by default will only use 2gb memory, if you have a 64bit system with 4Gb ram then apply the 4gb patch to sh3.exe, 32 bit users have to edit the boot.ini with the /3Gb switch and the USERVA to lower the kernel from between 2gb to around 1.5gb (1660 found to be good), before applying the patch to the sh3.exe file.

I don't think its this. I think its my catalist drivers stretching the image to widescreen. SH3 is very picky when it comes to widescreen. Even when I had my GTX280 I had to turn off my widescreen or it would CTD from time to time when taking screenshots. I was also able to run many mods without issus on that card. Now my ATI 5870 doesn't want me to change my image Scaling. I've click on Enable GPU Scaling and the 3 other options remain untouchable..

Its set to Scale image to FUll panel size. I want it to maintain Aspect ration.

I'm new to this ATI stuff.. Any ati dude know how to bypass this?

Nevermind about the scaling stuff from ATI. I've figured it out. Its borked so I have to change my resolution to a less one and then make the changes and then change it back.. crazy...

I have a HD4850, the first thing to do is get rid of the CCC, then use a third party app like ATI Tray tools, works much better with less memory!
I have XP Pro so you will have to check out a Vista/Win 7 version.
