Resolution Fix?

Wolfehunter · 12-13-08, 10:50 PM

works on both vista 32 and 64 bit. I'm using it on my two rigs.

Drag and drop the two files to your installed game. Edit the cfg file to the rez you want and run the game. Should work without a sweat.

But like in many games UAC is a big problem.

If your a solo user on your rig and no other accounts are being used disable UAC in your control panel.

Its designed for administrators to control feature and permission for other users. If your the only guy then no need for it.

Vista is picky and you need to do some research to tweak it right.

Once thats done any game can run perfectly. Well assuming their bugs are fixed. :hmm:

So after I edit the d3d9.cfg file for the resolution I want - where do I put it? In the base SH3 directory or in Windows' DirectX folder? I assume that goes for the .dll file as well?

You put it into the installed SH3 folder.

I don't have Vista, but in XP SP2 or SP3, the fix also requires some additional tweaking using the Windows Application Compatibility Toolkit (see the instructions in the community manual).

No idea if that's necessary to get the the fix to work in Vista, but thought it was worth mentioning.

with Xp Sp2 i had to do the above mentioned tweaking, but with vista 64 it worked without that.
