@KaleuBauman

Ok try this,

Go to your SH3.exe and right click, select compatibility.

I presume you are running in win 7 mode? And as admin ?

Click the 'Change high DPI settings' put a check in the High DPI scaling override box and ok.

Put a check in the Disable full screen optimisations box apply and ok.

check it out, any better mate?

Zero change. Incredibly confused by this -- I had set this up identically two or three days ago, and everything was running fine.

On side note, windows 10 can be sometimes ... very weird, with strange things happening
Experienced few times, and lately with my AA suddenly going off randomly on the global scene image but not the gui!
...and since few days, it’s gone and all well...go figure.
Wondering if this damn actual virus is for something

Good shipmate, Windows 10 is a PIG with LIPSTICK! I also feel partly the same about NVIDIA these days.

Or, maybe I'm just getting old.

That is all. Carry on.

Out of curiosity, mate. What is your win 10 build number?

version 1909
build 18363.720

Well, some progress. I have the game running full screen, but when I launch a mission, rather than getting "Not so long ago..." or whatever the usual launch screen text is, I get "Initializing." The usual controls come up at the bottom of the screen, but the game says it's paused and none of the controls actually work.

Anyone encountered this before?

Just a bump to see if anyone has any ideas on this issue.

Default Rediscovering SH3 with this GUI Mod

So I've re-discovered gameplay in SH3 GWX - ARB's 1920x1080 is the only widescreen mod that I can get to display on my entire screen (MaGUI, Ahnenerbe are both great mods too, they just won't fill my whole screen).

1. How much zoom is the attack scope supposed to go to? I have 1.5x and 6x. Is there a 12x? Should I be able to CTRL-mousewheel to zoom or just normal mousewheel and two zoom levels?
2. I assume the observation scope has the same zoom levels?
3. When using the RAOBF wheel, I'm consistently getting incorrect ranges and AOBs. What zoom level should I be using? How many horizontal tick marks should I be counting when determining AOB (i.e. do I need to double the count or not)?
4. When opening up the RAOBF, it defaults to selecting an AOB on the scratchpad. Is the RAOBF in this mod designed to *just* do AOBs? Or can I line up the quantity of vertical ticks to 90 degrees and read off the range at the point where it lines up with the mast height? I see no other way of entering a range into the scratchpad other than using the stadimeter.
5. An ideas if using Tribute to Manual targeting followed by the MFM and Izgud's new silhouettes could be throwing off my measurements? I note that most of the silhouettes are missing reference marks to indicate whether the mast or the funnel is the intended reference height.
6. What's the division of the tick marks on the UZO to determine range? Likewise on the scopes? Does it work out to be H * 50/ticks (x1.5) or H * 200/ticks (6x) to give a rough estimate of range?
