From my foyer into the WS mods the dificulty is in the menu_1024_768.ini.

Welcome back old friend...I'm running at a resolution of 1680x1050 on a 22" monitor.

OK. So tell us, please, how you do it. Thanks.

I've got the monitor screen settings on auto and that is the resolution it gives me.

I'm not so sure that means the game is actually running at that resolution Jimbuna. I believe your computer scales to whatever you have SHIII set at once you launch the game.

Unless I have missed something?

All I can say is that everything looks fine and there appears to be no stretching or distortion.

My eyesight is no longer the best so I can't say definitively but my screenshots look fine.

I believe you. If your eyesight were bad enough to miss the effects I'm referring to, you would need a white stick! I presume there is something in my graphic settings that I need to change. I'll press on it.

Got it! And I can even go to 1920x1080 that way. But only the 3D screens look good when I do. The load and menu screens are all squashed down in the lower left and partly missing. The 2D screens are all chopped up - the 1360x768 part is surrounded by whatever else was displayed last. (And I think the peri/UZO views are not right also.) Yes, I can change the d3d9.ini resolution, but the result isn't playable.

How do you correct those problems to get a playable game?
