Silent Hunter Resolution Fix 1.4b Issue

abec91 · 09-04-11, 09:50 AM

Hi there,

I'm having a problem with the mod. It does state that it disables F11 (flack gun) and it states that PrtSc should be used. However whenever i press PrtSc with the mod SH3 crashes. I tried using set keys to reassign the flank gun to a different button but it still doesn't work. Then i delete the files for the mod everything works fine. Any suggestions for this predicament? Thanks

Unfortunately this is an all too common issue that has never been fully resolved. It may well be driver related, as some people have effected a work around with ATI cards by either updating or rolling back.

While you certainly have the option of trying that, you could also try a different mod, such as this one to see if you get better results:

Good luck!

Hi !

Try this DX HiRes Fix: http://www.mediafire.com/?if15bkam2udw5r2

With this Fix all Commands works as in Stock-Game !

removed the fix you have and this will make all the button such as f11 and f10 to work unfortunately a side effect of the hirez fix for most users is that taking screen shots will freeze the game. You can try a third party screenshot program, it has worked for some people but not for me. I still cant take screen shots. But at least all the buttons work.

Hope that helps.

I tried those but unfortunately no go. I will see what else can be done. The game just looks to pretty to go back to the normal res

Hello All,
My problem in using the wide screen and/or res mod is much more complicated, in fact I am finding it impossible.
I have a notebook with a 1920 x 1080 wide screen attached using the VGA port. My wide screen is set up to be the primary display and my 1280 x 800 notebook is the extended display, with both screens running off the ATI driver. Before I ran the wide screen and/or res mod, the silent hunter display was stretched to fill the wide screen monitor, 2D and 3D. I found the wide screen mod and when I ran it the first time it worked, with my setting the d3d9.cfg file to 1920 x 1080, however the 2D screen was fixed in the bottom left hand corner of the display. I read the other posts and discovered that it was possible to stretch the 1360 x 768 resolution to the wide screen. So far I am unable to do so. I get the dreaded "Cannot initialize 3D engine". I tried the XPSP2 resolution mod and it screwed my out of game display settings so much, it is taking me hours to fix. To sum it up, I am trying to find out how to stretch the 1360 x 768 screen on the wide screen mod or change the res using the res mod to a monitor that is attached which is also the primary display. By the way, I am also running DirectX 10.

Ok, here is what I came up with so far. Win7 display settings must be made before one changes the driver settings. I appears that Win7 and/or DirectX is in the driver seat (no pun intended, no really). So this adds more complexity to display changes. And because Win7/DirectX is driving to display (I cannot help myself), channeling the the sim to an extended dispay may not work

. My next attempt is to disconnect the large monitor (oh joy!) and try it again.

By the way, should I change my posts to Win7 thread?
