Is it possible to play SH3 in resolutions higher than 1024x740 ?

[Paul Riley]

Frau,

Of course,you can notice a bit of stretching,but just around the rim of the scopes,but its not bad
On the up side,I can now sleep in my bunk and see almost ALL of the interior at the same time now,so anyone that tries to take a quick nap while on the hydros when they should be awake?,its not gonna happen now,there is almost 3-4 inches extra screen as opposed to a square view.I am slowly getting used to the panoramic view when on the deck now,looks great.

There's no setup foolproof enough to outwit a fool like Bernard. Even a kaleun has to sleep sometime!

BTW you might also want to keep an eye on this thread

in the mods forum, where they're discussing the possibility of creating a widescreen interface.

I wish to resurrect an old thread of mine if thats ok.
Having clean installed the game,patched it,installed GWX3,commander 3.2 + config files I have now come round to installing the res fix,but cant seem to get the game to work now,I get the message 'sorry windows has f####d up again! sorry for the BLEEDING inconvenience!'
...any ideas...please? *sigh*

Thanks (goes off to sulk in the corner)

Got it sorted,I forgot to set the resolution in the config file that comes with the 'fix' ,sorry
Thats what happens when you rush into things,so be warned chaps.

Keep an eye out for one or two more potential glitches that can be brought about by the res fix Paul.

Hate to bring some of these old threads up,but it can be useful at times.
I forgot how to take screenshots after applying the res fix as I remember it changed the default screenshots button.Cant remember if its F11,PRINT SCREEN etc.Afraid I cant check through the readme as i'm downloading a few mods and reading other stuff here at the moment
I will be doing some great screenshots hopefully over this weekend

(must really try and make notes of all this and print it,then attach it to my forehead)

Cheers guys.

Use the PrintScreen key for screenshots with the ResFix.

However taking screenshots with the ResFix mod in use has been known to cause game freezes and CTDs for some people so I would suggest trying it out in the Academy tutorials or a single mission first before risking a crash during a career patrol.

Seconded.
I'm one of these people. Using the PRTSCN button just locks up the game for me.

I got around it by using a third party screenshot app.
Here's a free one that works quite well

Are you on Win7? I ask because I never had the problem until I switched from XP to 7.

I tried a couple of different third party apps but still got freezes. Nothing I do seems to help, including shutting down Aero and themes and a ton of other stuff while the game is running. The freezes/CTDs are erratic depending on in-game situation, but sooner or later the game will always freeze up if I keep snapping pics.

Haven't tried that app yet, though... thanks for the link. Will keep it in mind for future experimentation.

I'm on Vista.

My pleasure.

[frau kaleun]

Hmm... Vista has some of the same "visual" effects as Win7, though.

See, I've always wondered if there's something about Vista and/or Win7 that is a part of the problem. There always seem to be some people who have it, and some who never have it, and I don't think anyone ever really looked into whether or not there was one common factor for everyone that did. I didn't really think about it until I switched to Win7 and suddenly I couldn't take screenshots any more without risking a game freeze. And the OS was the *only* thing that changed.

You have nothing to apologize for. Bringing up an old thread is sometimes the best way to find out what you need to know. Mostly when you see someone (me) complain it's because someone gave no warning, and then responded to a several-years-old post as if it were made five minutes ago, which of course is very jarring, confusing and irritating.

I personally tried the Res-Fix and didn't like it. I only get a slight stretching at 1440x900, and it doesn't bother me at all.

[Jimbuna]

I've a 22" widescreen running @1680x1050 and the game looks fine.

[Paul Riley]

Dont get me wrong,my game looks great with the res fix (currently in 1600 x 900),the only bit of stretching is on the scope screens,other than that its all good.
Could never go back to 1024 x 768 now i'm used to my 20" widescreen
