IIRC, this is an issue with the .dll, but not a real problem, you just need to adjust something that I can´t remember now. IIRc it´s wrote on the readme of WS Seeadler's dll. Take a look there.

Hi,

Is just a matter to adjust the original free camera ...but isn't a simple "do this&do that issue"...I guess that you need to open the files with S3D, compare them, understand the differences and make something similar in your cameras.dat. It's not difficult.

I made it for my own use sometime ago but can't remember more exactly how I did it...my file is adapted to my game so it will not help you too.

Cheers,

Rubini.

Just come back to SH3 after a long period and am trying to get this mod to work with my Dell Studio XPS 1645 laptop with ATI HD4670 graphics card.

Basically it has an HD screen and I just can't get SH3 in anything but 4:3. tried changing the .cfg to 1360 x 768 and 1365 x 768 but all I get is the 'can't initalise 3d engine'

Has anyone succeded to get this running on an HD screen laptop?

Did you change the ini or the cfg? Be sure to only edit the cfg to your native display resolution, 1920x1080 in my case for example. Do not edit the ini under all circumstances, because that would then indeed cause the trouble you're describing.

I suggest you check which resolutions are supported on your desktop and keep to them. I suggest you first try with the XP Res mod which available in the download sections

Guys, thanks for all the help.

Can't get the GWX Widescreen to work but the XP Res Mod does so I now have widescreen SH3 in 1920 x 1080
