Is there REALLY working widescreen mod?
I've downloaded couple mods for making it 16:9. What they did is just scratching 4:3 to 16:9. So everything looks way too FAT.
Is there any mod to make real widescreen?

Its why I gave up with SH3 in the end and moved on... I could never get it looking right on my 2560x1440 desktop. SH4 and SH5 are ok and with mods I.m.o they both play well now (take look at The Wolves of Steel 2.2 mod for SH5 awesome)

A lot of people play with the GWX supermod but I prefer the Living Silent Hunter super mod. The latest version is 2020. It does have a wide screen fix built in but not for higher resolutions. There are also mods for this.

Main mod
https://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=247795
Follow all instructions exactly on the installation guide

Add these to the MOD folder in your install folder and enable in JSGME

1920x1080 mod

Update for 1920x1080 above
https://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=248445

I have 5 submods from LSH3 enabled and 6 others for 1920x1080 and I think its a great experience. I have also played with GWX but I think LSH3 is easier to work with.

It's hard work to install LSH3 mods for SH3, because I tried many times for these modsssss...., and I was completely clueless how to do about all the instructions. I'm sure that I'm not the only one who can handle Individual posts and installations. Because these installations are scattered in posts that I could not realize which procedures can be accepted or rejected, I am not a programmer who can fully understand these modsss, not so fun for enjoyable.
Stretching. Not scratching.

Moved on? Where to? There is no alternative to the WW II sub warfare sim in the Atlantic Theater, not as far as the eye can reach. SH5 ain't one. It's dumbed down version of its predecessor(s). Ubisoft-like.

So, appearance over gameplay? Then why not watch movies or stare at pictures? It makes absolutely no sense to me to first not get the game to run on 1.77 and then have to play a dumbed down version of it, even. :nogo:

Immediately the widescreen MaGui mod comes to mind with its modified 1360 x 768 d3d9.dll, which happens to be the exact ratio of your monitor, it's 1.77, guess why, you're not the only one with a 1.777777777 display. If you can't get it to work, it's probably you, because others are running it on high res displays. As I do (just not with that weird ratio).

Thinking you had "moved on" is just what you like to lie to yourself so you don't have to keep thinking about your own incompetence. But by that, you're also implying that players who still play SH3 (because they can) are somehow.... what? ... are behind? Behind what? Time, perhaps? I got it, dawg. Hahaha... but you've moved on. Go figure. 🥳😂

Yeah, maybe sideways, from your perspective it looked like forward. Or even turned around and therefore actually going backwards, from your perspective it looked like moving on again .... And then got lost somewhere back there while the rest of us marched on. 👉

You've moved on if you can get an SH3 game (or something like Dangerous Waters) to work on modern machines. That's what gamers can do. They keep playing their favourite games from decades ago, no matter how they have to update them to keep them running. Not the old versions. They moved on and created themselves better ones. They don't have to do without their games, they make them run and keep them running. The rest are quitters. Not on-movers. Winners never quit, and quitters never win. Which are you? Don't bother. Just a rhetorical question. :cozyteddymoo: :steamsalty:

Haha very funny post, but so true lol...

There will always be two groups of sim players; 1) People who want to quickly get cheap entertainment value by "feeling" like a [sub kommandant, race car driver, radio operator etc etc] without any effort whatsoever, even if this means having setting realism=3%
2) People who want to learn the details. Learn specific techniques, read up on things and actually try to have an understanding of what's going on.

The sad thing is, many people prefer graphics quality over realism, so not much you can do.
I am running the game on my PC on high def/widescreen with no problems so not sure what people are upset about. All it requires is reading of instructions. You don't need a computer science degree to run SH3.

anyways, funny post :steamthumbsup:
