And will I have to install the LSH3-2015 mod for that to work as well? Because right now I'm just trying to get the vanilla game to start up in full screen

Or the better question lies in the mods folder, since I don't have one. Do I just create the folder in the SH3 folder that's in the Documents folder?

Hi itsatrap
Post #4 JSGME Installing It Correctly
Works for all versions
Copy mods into the JSGME Mods folder.

In my case, it was incorrect video driver. My laptop video card is out of support for few years already, so I downloaded the latest drivers which were granted by manufacturer as "is the only one for you from now on and don´t ask for support anymore".

Fixed the issue with resolution mods after installation.

So even with the suggested mod correctly installed, I'm crashing on start up still but now with the message of "cannot initialise 3d engine"

Hi itsatrap

cannot initialise 3d engine

This is a gpu problem.
Either a driver or gpu settings.
Your Gpu settings can be found in the Control Panel Initiializing errors are usually down to the gpu.
Check that your drivers are up to date.
Run your SH3.exe and JSGME in Administrator mode.

Nvidia
The scaling mode needs to be set to > Aspect Ratio.
Perform scaling on > GPU

AMD
Image scaling > Enable GPU scaling
Maintain aspect ratio or Scale image to full panel size
