The GWX v3 mod is working fine just by reducing the resolution from 1680x1050, thank you

1680x1050
1280x1024
1152x864
1024x768
800x600
If your graphics card has it included... should be able to go into it's control panel & set up a custom rez size... say... 1920x1080 (I think's 1 of the larger sized rez options for ws mods... ) or... 1360x768 or was that 1366x786.... 1 or the other of them.

My screen is 16x9... & that 1920 or 1980 WS mode...was kaputsky... meaning for Me... it wouldn't work & when I went to do the initial set up a bit back... I also got that bloody "can't initialize 3D engine garbage.

After I popped in the MaGui 13X7 WS mod in... the whole set up, ran like a champ, after that...

Main point is... to get set up to begin with... resize your screen... to 1920.. 1980, whatever that size is again... then run set up from there. Once done, can always reset the rez for the monitor back to native & use that MaGui WS 13x7... that worked the way I outlined here... for Me.

Hope that helps.. & I didn't leave ya scratching your head, going "sayyyy whaaa...???"

I don't know if it's intentional but I don't think so is it ?


Thanks

thanks anvart i know this but it is not what i mean.
normally by passing a ship in the viewfinder (or at least by locking it with L) without having identified it, the game tells us if it is a warship, or a merchant ship or a tanker...

Hi, thank you very much for the help, I was using the nvidia control panel to customize and change the resolution to MaGui GWXv3 - 1366x768 and the game was able to run the introduction with the MaGui GWXv3 - 1366x768 logo after that and just to try I choose one single mission and after the horizontal red bar start to fill and move to the right reaching about 95% of total then the computer went frozen, I then switch off the PC and try again to run the game but unfortunatly happen exact again the same and the PC was frozen when the horizontal red bar was about 95% of full, I have no clue what I did wrong

WAC, LSH3 and CCoM have extended load times. WAC is the worst offender in this respect being 15 to 20 minutes start to finish on the loading process, at least on my machine. NYGM and GWX being the quickest with about 5 minutes give or take.
