How to turn on higher resolution - Page 2

KING111 · 05-26-07, 12:07 PM

I tried the SH3_xpsp2_res fix
It works and buts the game in to 1280-960
But I to would like to run it in 1280-1050
On my 22” I tried editing the d3d9 config
File I just put in 1050 instead of 960
And the game crashed? So there’s more to it
Then I think does any one know how to edit
It so it will work or is it something else I am
Doing wrong?

Might be a silly question since I assume you would already know, but I have to ask..

Are you certain that both your vid card and your monitor support that particular resolution? (1280x1050).

Seems like a non standard. If either doesn't support it, the game will crash.

PS: I still can't get past my blackscreen problems with this. I thought it might even be a Microsoft .NET framework issue because I had NET version 3, so I deleted that and left my NET at Version 2, and still no go.

Monolith
Yes they both support that 1280-1050
SH4 runs in it no problem
All I did was unpack the SH3_xpsp2_res fix
In to the game and run it and it put the game in to
1280-960 I did notice that some of the mods I had
Added did not work so I did a new install and left
Them out of the game I am now running it in 1280-960 with
GWX with no problems maybe it’s a mod that’s giving you
A blank screen maybe you need a reinstall SH3 like I did
And then add the mods you want to try?

How can you make the screen to 640x480?

Right click on ur desktop screen then go to Properties

then go to settings then set the screen to 640x480 then click apply and ok.

That's right Azn .... But who'd want to!

@ Monolith, when you refer to black screen is this in the menu screens or just in the main 3D game screen?
I must admit that this happened to me (in menus at start) a couple of time long ago & I can't remember what I did, I think it had something to do with drivers & going back to old ones fixed it!

What card do you have nVidia or ATI?

Here is exactly what happens, and this is with both the older res fix (that uses the compatibility tool), and the newer fix with the batch files.

Game starts fine, first screen is the GWX wolf howling video (replaced the UBI video I guess).

Then is the SH3 opening movie clip, no problem.

Then I should get the loading screen of the sub launching that pretty black and copper torpedo while the red loading line moves across the bottom of the screen.

But I don't get that.

And it seems that this is the moment the resoultion attempts to change, because I can see my mouse cursor, and it is reduced in size as my resolution increased to 1680x1050. I can see and move the mouse cursor, but the loading screen behind it is all just black screen, no pretty torpedo.

Could be a driver conflict with the latest driver. ATI X1950 Pro with 7.4 Catalyst drivers.

Not quite sure I want to go back to an old driver when this is the only thing that has an issue.

Try this out, it will help point us in the right direction:

Edit the d3d9.cfg file and set to a standard format of say 1024x768 then try running again, this will tell us if it's the hires d3d9 tool or not, if it works then try some other modes & will then take it from there!

MONOLITH · 05-27-07, 10:17 AM

Will do.

I tried the 'stock number' that comes on the d3d9, but it was a no go. I'll try 1024x768.

My monitor is a widescreen 1680x1050.

KING111 · 05-27-07, 10:45 AM

I copied the Sh3_xpsp2_res fix in to my SH3 folder
And ran it that puts it in to 1080-960
Then I copied the two files from dx9res10.zip
Over writing the two files from the Sh3_xpsp2_res fix
Then I ran the Sh3_xpsp2_res fix again and it put the game in
To 1080-1025
So it must be when I try and edit the config file up to 1080-1050
Something is going wrong?
