or

in the log file, than something on your system prevent the dll from creating a D3D9 device, hard to say what it is?

DirectX9c is the latest version of 05/02/2010?

Are you on XP SP2? I had to install the Microsoft Windows Application Compatibility Toolkit and enable DelayDLLInit as described here:

http://alexbret.perso.cegetel.net/in...lay_Resolution

Well, I don't know that I had to, but I did, and right after that instead of a CTD it would give me the message, "Can not initialize 3d engine." At that point I only had to fiddle with it a few more hours before it worked.

Good luck!

Have now done the 3 main dials, Nav map, and now attack map:

If anyone wants to use/test etc here is a download link, the readme has the installation instructions:
http://www.filefront.com/15897935/WS...ls_adjust.rar/
Please let me know how it goes in case I stuffed it up!!
Note that you have to install Seeadler's WS mod with cfg file set to 1360 x 768 resolution.

Amazing Reece

The centered screen is the best solution posible for maps, but will you also implement it for normal screens?

I suppose you will be limited for now to Layout Bar (Already done, as I see) and maps, right?

That's probably the easiest solution, considering that there are many interfaces out there.

Very interesting, but 1360x768? That is sort of an oddball resolution. If I read correctly, it's the 768 that has to stay the same and that's why the 1360x768 resolution is the maximum?

The reason I am asking is because I have a 2560x1600 and a 1920x1080 monitor and am not sure how this resolution will work (outside of native resolution looks horrible). Is it possible to have a 16:10 aspect ratio OR 16:9"? If I am going to use the WS fix, there is no way I can set my 30" panel to 1360x768 and have look anywhere near decent.

Am I reading your post correctly i that we must use a resolution of 1360x768?

it bloody worked m8.. first try with the compatabilty toolkit got it working like a charm.

thanks seeadler/floopy and CO!!

maybe this should be part of the readme so as to give those with issues something to try?
