I do not use widescreen mods, my screen is still a crt 17 ichs and my resolution is 1024x768! I do not use also the resolution patch, I never did!
It may have being do to conning tower open hatch mod, I did enable it and then went to do a campaign with the Type II! after CTD, I disable all mods and began enable one at the time and create a capgn. to see what mod was a culprit! I am having several problems with mods that I didn't. See the other thread!
I'm going to install again the game and see what I will happen, again!

[Dronston]

Yeah, this game reacts very strange to all kinds of modding. At this moment I run the mods listed beneath, if for example I add the Depthcharge Shake v2.01 mod the centerline of the UZO and periscope shifts to the right. Very strange. Good luck!


Waterstream+Exhaust Combi V2.3 for GWX3

The entire periscope overlay is shifted to the left by about 1.5cm (based on the scale of the picture). You can see this by the offset of the vertical reticle and the 'blank' area to the left of the optic.

This will have shifted ALL button trigger points the same distance to the left, effectively moving the 'hit detection' off the top of the button graphic.

This is more than likely a menu_1024x.ini file corruption.

Full reinstall of SH3 and a MD5 hash check of GWX files is required to correct.

(FWIW, I have experienced this once before and can reproduce it on demand, I know what caused it but it can't be that this time).

[Rhodes]

Done and done! All the MD5 codes come up correct! The trouble is not the game+GWX, is the various mods to load!

[danlisa]

Use windows search to identify all mods which modify the menu1024_768.ini file, do not enable these but load the rest, test. Then add in the menu altering mods one at a time.

and everything is fine in game running! I have only the issue of not having any compartments after the captn. room and behind the control room hatch (to the NCO room), normal since I now using a type VIIB!
I still continue with not being able to load fm_interiors (any version) and MaGui F together! If someone please want to discuss this, I have another thread here just for that!
Since fm_interiors are for VIIC, untill there is some light at the end of the tunnel, I'm going to play the game with the other types!

these could be suspects:


MaGui F

optional-ALTERNATIVE SCOPES with speedlines stopwatch for MaGui F

I experienced the same issue in my current SH3 install. Playing on 22inch 8x5 WS monitor, with GWX and Conus wide screen mod. The solution was to replace the older Nvidia driver with the latest, downloaded from the Nvidia site. Now working alright, no offset, everything is as it should.
