Silent Hunter 3 multi-monitor issue

Barman · 07-27-13, 03:41 PM

I'm running SH3 on a setup with two monitors, a 1920x1200 as a primary and a 1920x1080 as a secondary. SH3 will only load if I set my primary monitor to 1080, which gives me rather blurry graphics, otherwise it gives me a 3D initialization error. Is there any way to fix this without unplugging my secondary monitor, or am I pretty much s.o.l.?

SH3 natively can only handle resolutions upto 1024x768 anyway. Only with a widescreen mod can you make use of larger resolutions. I let my Nvidia driver stretch the 1024x768 resolution onto my 1920x1080 screen leaving the aspect ratio as it is. (keeps circles as circles and prevents too much blurryness)

So are you using a widescreen mod to get it onto your 1920x 1080 screen? I don't know why the 1920x1200 resolution causes an error. But maybe the mod might fix it.
