Resolution fix & Alt+tab solution ?

01-29-09, 04:29 PM

So again, I wonder is there a solution for this problem ? As far as I remember there is none ?

The only solution I know of is to ensure that the refresh rate settings for your graphics card are exactly the same for 3D mode as for your ordinary desktop/windows mode.

Seems to work for me anyway (I set mine to 60Hz).

EDIT - the resolution must the same too, e.g. on mine I use 1280x1024 as both my desktop and SH3 hi-res.

Yes I know the rez must be set as same as the desktop, however I was asking is there a way to make it alt+tab from a game or not using same rez ?

Alt-Tab works, but SH3 stays in full-screen mode (and keeps running, but without sound). If SH3 is on the same monitor as the primary desktop, you can see just a flash of the Alt-Tab menu when you hit the key; if you have several programs running, it can be a challenge to Alt-Tab back to SH3.

I have two monitors, running SH3 on primary and a few apps on secondary. I Alt-Tab back and forth to tweak gamma, do coordinate lookups, etc. For the moment SH3 only runs on the primary monitor (blocking the Alt-Tab menu) but I'm looking into various ways to move SH3 to the second monitor so I have my entire primary desktop available.

Are you explaining me how rez fix works with alt tabing ? What I have seen lots and lots of times ?

if alt tab does not make its function correctly I consider it is not working, capito ?
Honestly there is no need to type so many words just to say nothing to the topic. Appreciated.

I'm using the HiRes Fix, too. How can I set the refresh rate of the 3D mode to my current desktop refresh rate (75Hz)? Do I have to add something in the file, where I set the resolution? I've checked my desktop settings and my Nvidia settings and they are both on 75Hz, but it doesn't work...

EDIT: The resolution is the same, too.

Neither mine. Same resolution, 60Hz (LCD).
