Extended shore leave

He runs at 800 x 600.

I know he went dark on SH3Cmdr R3.0 because it now runs at 860 x 630.

He doesn't seem to realise that 800 x 600 is pretty much not supported by anyone any more. He also doesn't realise that SH3 rescales when he runs it, which is why it still looks OK. SH3Cmdr displays commensurate with whatever display settings he has chosen. So, as 800 x 600 < 860 x 630, he loses some of the SH3Cmdr screen.

Dunno if this is what he is ranting about, but as I explained to him before, the game runs at 1024 x 768, so I based R3.0 on a minimum of that screen resolution. As always, the Pareto principle applies; most guys benefit from the changes, some don't. But let's be honest here, who still runs at 800 x 600 anyway?
