Something strange about screenshots .

[StarLion45]

Hi everyone

I am using the resolution fix , and using "printscreen " button .
But I get no screenshots
I get some TGA files named "shot 1247770765 "
But there's no TGA picture


HEEEELP MEEEEEE

[Task Force]

If you're running vista and have installed to program files (bad idea) then you'll either have to change the permissions on the SHIII folder or run the game as admin to have the screen shots save. I had this problem when I first tried taking some shots, I was using the right commands but the shots didn't save as the game didn't have permission to alter the contents of its own folder!

Vista at times seriously dampens my battery!

But it didn't work, I don't get any screenshots
I didn't have a clue

Maybe you have now (at the moment) a lot of images, but don't know where they are? Try to search (if SH3 has been installed on harddisk C), the search option? Search for bmp or try another search for tga.

Furthermore, is there a folder that is 'HIDDEN' on your computer? And full with SH3 images.

Hi Danlisa

What do you mean about :


" Good. Did you use the default install location? C:\Program Files\Ubisoft\SilentHunterIII
Also, did you put all the res fiz files in the SilentHunterIII Folder? Overwriting if needed.

I don't understand . In "read me" it says you can copy this into the main directory Sh3 Shall I use the winzap and unzip the res fix into sh3 directory ?

Thanks for helping me out

Ahhhh.....

When you download the Rez Fix, it will be in an archive RAR or 7z.

You need to extract it. After you have extracted it, you need to copy all the FILES (not folders) into the main SH3 Program folder, which is usually C:\Program Files\Ubisoft\SilentHunterIII

The files to be copied are:
d3d9.cfg
d3d9.dll
SHIII.sdb
SP2 Rez fix uninstall.bat
SP2 Rez fix.bat

When they are in there, run this file:

SP2 Rez fix.bat

A black DOS CMD box should pop up and disappear.

Then open the d3d9.cfg with notepad and edit it with your Resoultion dimensions and (as I said above) with the screenshot path of c:. Now save it.

Load the game and try again.

Repost your new/edited d3d9.cfg file for me to see.

Also, confirm that the following files are all inside your main SH3 Program folder; d3d9.cfg, d3d9.dll, SHIII.sdb, SP2 Rez fix uninstall.bat,SP2 Rez fix.bat and that you have run the SP2 Rez Fix.bat file.

That above is your screenshot path. IT IS STILL WRONG!

You have a fullstop (.) after the = Remove that!
You have a space in the word Hunter. Remove that.
Also I'm pretty sure the correct folder name is SilentHunterIII (not using 3). That is unless you changed it.

Slow down a little and recheck it.
