Seriously cool!

For what it’s worth, I changed the screen resolution to windowed 1600x900, installed the appropriate BBT, and everything runs fine.

Downgrade me to simply bamboozled.

Headed for last place during the Classic Mariners' Regatta!

You might want to try OTC 8.5:4.8 rather than 16:9. See if that let's you run full screen. That particular aspect ratio, IIRC, is intended to compensate for monitors which are advertized as 16:9 but actually edge-clip. BTW, quite a few (but not all) monitors allow you to turn off edge-clipping and run the full "advertized" screen aspect ratio. Sometimes it takes some plumbing around in the monitor set-up menus to find the setting to do this.

Oh yeah, and you did mention something about "the bearing tool" in one post. Are you also running the 3000-Yard (/Meter) Bearing Tool mod? Because it overwrites lots of files from both TMO and RSRDC.

When I typed "BBT" I actually meant "3000 yard Bearing Tool", which is the one I've been having difficulties with. In windowed mode (1600x900) it works fine, just not in full screen mode at 1920x1080. I'll play around with it some more after this patrol.

You may need to use the 3gb patch or Large Address Aware
fixer. That mod needs lots of memory.

Thanks jldjs. I'll give LAA a try. Where might one obtain the 3gb patch if LAA doesn't solve the problem?

Google it. I DL'd it a year ago but can't remember the URL. I've been playing SH4 on my MacBook but had to make the SH.exe 3gb on Windows and copy it over to my Mac. The 3gb patch when run on Windows let's u browse for the exe and it changes it, and makes a save of the original. I used it rather than LAA.
