Tell you what, I have enough installs available to apply the rez fiz to. So I'll apply the fix with your chosen settings and then upload the files for you to just copy & paste into you installation. Like I said, if it doesn't work after that, it must be something else on your system.

Probably about 1-2hrs before I can do that though.

did a search for i, it's listed as SHIII, props indicate its an app fix package. Looking in the file I downloaded from you it appears the same there. Hope this helps. Again many thanks for your patience.

Best regards.

No worries at all.

It's just the soonest I can get home after work.

SH3 in high res is an important thing.

Fubar2Niner · 10-10-07, 11:27 AM

Work...... ooh it's that four letter word we all hate. Well drive safe, wouldn't want to see you end up in the brig

Best regards.

Here you go, try this - http://rapidshare.com/files/61625791...es_Fix.7z.html

Just extract it & put the files into the program folder.

Do not run the bat file as I have already done so and have also put your desired res/screenshot path into the cfg file.

Copy & run the game.

Note - This is for Fubar only!

danlisa,

Many thanks for your work, unfortunately I'm still stuck @ 1024x768

Screenies are still not saving to the correct dir either, rather , they're still being saved in the install dir. Total wierdness, do you think it may be because the game is installed to a different drive rather than the default c: ? I'm sure I have never installed to my c: before and all worked fine.

Best regards,

Fubar

OK now things have got really wierd. The problem has nothing to do with the fact it's not installed on c: Just reinstalled on c: and the prob persists. However, on clicking 'Start' at the mission selection screen I noticed the res visibly change. I have taken a screenie and this bares out my suspicion. It's only after I launch a mission the res drops back to 1024x768 !!!!!!!!! All the front end screens are 1600x1200, as shown in the link below.

Now I'm completely baffled

.

Does this make any sense to you ?
Don't see why it should be, but, maybe a video driver thing you think ?

Best regards,

Ok, there is a possibilty that your GFX control panel is over riding the changes but I'm not familiar with nVidia panels. I find it odd that the menu's have changed but the ingame rez has not. Check out the Direct X setting inside your nVidia control Panel.

Also, have you still edited the main.cfg file? Maybe it's causing the weirdness.

For me, the reverse happens. The menu's remain @ 1024x768 but the ingame rez changes. It's certainly confusing me.

Fubar2Niner · 10-11-07, 10:10 AM

Hi danlisa,

Thanks for the quick response, the main.cfg I have left unchanged as you suggested yesterday. Regarding checking Directx setting, I'm not sure exactly what you mean. Could you explain please, so I can cross reference the nvid control panel.

Best regards,

Fubar

danlisa · 10-11-07, 10:24 AM

Well, like I said, I'm not familiar with nVidia but SH3 uses DirectX rather than OpenGL as a rendering engine.

So, within your GFX Panel, there should be separate options/settings for both engines. Look for the DirectX section and see if there is anything that 'jumps' out at you. It's unlikely but maybe possible and is certainly worth checking.

Failing that, I would suggest that you try to find another 8800 user to see if they have ever experienced this. Could be driver related but I'm sure you would notice other things wrong if it was.

I still can't think what might be limiting the actual resolution when the game enters 3d rendering (i.e ingame). The res fix is working, otherwise the menu's wouldn't have changed, so there must be something limiting the 3D/game render part.

Fubar2Niner · 10-11-07, 10:39 AM

danlisa,

I don't know I'm jiggered, I've checked nvid control panel but nothing there to choose either opengl or dx directly. I don't think it's an 8800 thing, as it ran before

I'll try changing drivers, see what happens and report back. Only other thing I can try is running end-it-all, see if that kills the offending gremlin. Thanks again for your help and support.

Best regards,

Fubar

I think you have to get to the advanced settings by way of the Control Panel in XP.

Once there, you can open the nVidia Panel and there should be an option for Advanced settings. Just going from memory here. <shrug>

Calling other 8800 users.

Fubar2Niner · 10-11-07, 10:54 AM

danlisa,

Yep I accessed Advance Settings but there is no option to choose, an older forceware driver may have it tho. I'll try, I have got to get this working

FWIW. End-it-all didn't help, LOL

Best regards,

Fubar
