Check your Windows video settings, especially if you have Windows 10. Match the monitor's 'native' resolution with the video card in the Windows Display Settings dialog. Windows will show it as "(recommended)". Another place to look is the SH3 Properties page. In the game folder, right-click on the SH3.exe file, and on the resultant context menu, choose "Properties". Click on the "Compatibility" tab. You might have to tick the "Disable fullscreen optimizations", and then after clicking the "Change high DPI settings" button, you might have to tick the top box under the "Program DPI" section for "Use this setting to fix scaling problems for your program instead of the one in Settings". You don't need to do the "Open Advanced scaling settings", but there is a drop-down box about the middle of that window, and set that to "I open this program". Make certain the bottom box is ticked, and that "Override high DPI scaling behavior. Scaling performed by:" is set to "Application" in that drop-down box. Recent Winddows 10 updates changed all of my computers settings and made it to where Windows was attempting to make my game look better by scaling and smoothing the display, which creates strangeness, such as flickering on my screen, and was so bad on another computer that the game would fail to start. Your mileage of course may vary, and you might end up with slightly different settings than mine, but I had to do a lot of experimenting with this computer to get things working OK for SH3 again.

Default loading bar

I have no problem with the loading screen ...! me the problem is simply graphic ..
It is undoubtedly values "CR.dat" that must be regulated with S3D by correcting certain files anyway certain thing asks to be reviewed ... in these interiors which are very pretty which one asks for a phenomenal work to be carried out .. especially the engine room ... it just needs to be finished we have to review the lighting .. the shadows .. which in some places does not work well ... a few odds and ends .. again ..
but for that you have to ask the designer of this great mod ... Mikhayl & Tomi_99 HanSolo78, Flakmonkey who are formidable modders of the times ...

Alex, one question, why some ships do not show their class name when clicking on them in the F5 map? An example is the Cimarron and many others, both military and cargo, same happens with some airplanes, such as the Catalina... Is there a way to fix this? Thanks for the reply

Hi. When we have long ship name (Cimarron class naval oiler) it doesnt appear under the ship icon. But shorter name (Cimarron class) looks good. See screens below. I will fix it in the next version/fix...

Default re: Cannot initalize 3d engine

Hartroff, I have had this issue with my one computer that still runs Win7. I thought I tried everything to fix this. Then this morning I read ONEALEX's post above, and found the solution, fixing my "Cannot initalize 3d engine" issue. I changed my SCREEN REFRESH RATE from 1920x1080 59hertz to 1920x1080 60hertz. I would start SHIII via SHCommander, only to get the "Cannot initalize 3d engine" message. My workaround was to start SHIII after changing my resolution down to 1024x768. SHIII would start and play fine regardless of my Mega Mod or WSGUI. After this adjustment, SHIII starts perfectly in 1920x1080 with no error messages. Not sure why, but none of my other computers have experienced this error. They all just happen to run WIN10. I never though the OS mattered and that it must be something not set correctly. That was it. Thanx again ONEALEX.

Thanks a lot Alex! You are correct. The name appears as it should in the note pad in the F3 screen but not in the F5 map. Will be waiting for your next update!
