Hello people.
I've admitted defeat in getting LSHIII running, after a day of attempting various fixes I've seen on the multitude of pages. I'm sure it's something stupid I've neglected. But I need help from others now
My OS is W10 home, x64, 1709 creators update.
The problem is launching the game, either from the SH3 exe or LSH through Commander - I initially get a black screen, which after about 2 seconds minimises to a corner of the display and I get a "can not initialize 3D engine" prompt.
I believe I've followed Berbsters installation instructions correctly, after converting my steam version.
I tried the newest nvidia driver 388.43 with no luck. Then I tried one recommended to be compatible - 387.92.
I also tried W7 compatibility mode, enabling override high DPI scaling behaviour, scaling is set to aspect ratio, perform scaling on GPU.
Refresh rate 30Hz, only other options are 25 and 29.
I've probably tried other things which escape me for the moment.
I'd be glad of any help folks.
EDIT: 1. I'm wondering if it's Directx related and I need to install 9.0c?? 2. I tried letting windows troubleshoot compatibility with no success - it tried Windows XP sp3.
