Right you are BigWalleye. They were bugged when the sim first came out, and AFAIK were never fixed. It is best if you just forget they are even there.

Thankyou very much for this mod. Been able to get it work perfectly with very little fiddling. In fact it almost worked perfectly with just SH3 + GWX3, except the solo stopwatch dial on the attack periscope, but the notes provided in one of the later posts sorted this as well! Thanks!

I can't get this mod to work at all.

I tried a stock SH3 install (HD was reformatted recently) and with the Mod files for this res fix the game loads up but the menus are half cut off on the screen so you can't progress forward (single missions screen for instance).

Added in the d3d9 files in the separate DL and the game crashes on startup. The error states is an msvcrt.dll error.

What am I doing wrong?

I have a GTX 680 Classified videocard if htat helps at all.

From the file Wide Screen Mod.pdf, which comes in the Documentation folder of Van1920x1080:

"This mod is built on top of NYGM 3.6D and Hitman GUI 1.0"

Naturally, it will not work in a stock SH3 install. You must have NYGM Tonnage War v2.5, and NYGM3_New, and NYGM 3.6D (or NYGM 3.6E or F) and Hitman GUI v1.0 (or v1.1) activated before Van1920x1080 will work at all. All of this is spelled out pretty clearly in the pdf.

Also, the mod will only work at 1920x1080 resolution If your graphics card does not support this resolution or is not set for this resolution, then it won't work either.

Thanks, Big.

I don't have that mod installed yet. I knew the Widescreen fix was built over that mod, but I figured a stock SH3 install would work for testing it out.

Id tried it with GWX 3.0 next (since somebody said it worked perfectly except for one gauge not showing up) as well and had the exact same issue.

I will give the NYGM mod a go next.

Ok, tried it with the NYGM mod and it still crashes with the d3d.dll files installed.

Removing them eliminates the crash but the menus are all screwed up, ie, shifted to far to the right (can't click the arrow for "next" to progress to the next screen).

The crash has to do with the d3d.dll file/s I just don't know how to fix it.

Do you have a d3d9.ini file, also downloaded from VanJast's post? And do you have your graphics card set for 1920x1080 resolution? Does your graphics card support 1920x1080?
