Silent Hunter 3 Screen Resolutions ?

Oulton:
I'm at a loss. I have used both methods (each one on a different PC and both worked for me). I am assuming that you have XP2 or XP3 (you do not need the M$ toolkit or the .bat file if you are using XP1), if you are using Vista, then I have no idea since I am staying as far awary from Vista as I can.

You might want to try over on the official Ubisoft website under their technical thread and see if they can help you. Good luck.

Try 1440 x 800/1400 x 800 There have been issues with funny dimensions on widescreen displays.

Don't know why but 'play' with the res a little.

Thanks again for the replies guys.
Seems as though I have an error, I tried to uninstall the Microsoft Application Compatibility Toolkit.
An error 1722 came up, seems as though there's a problem with that Installer Package.
I guess I have all the info I need to sort it now, just a matter of pin pointing the actual problem.
I quess that'll be a case of trial and error, thanks guys.

Same video card here and I had same problem. The best resolution is 1280x960 with ATI X1950pro. Try it.
Cheers!

I've successfully used the patch in Panama Red's post on both vista and XP to play at 1680x1050.

I didn't have to install the app. compatibility toolkit.

The nice thing about the "fix" that I posted is that you DO NOT have to download M$'s Toolkit or go through all those steps to get it to work. The batch file loads all in information into the system so you just need to set the resolution in the "cfg" file and away you go.
