LSH3 2015 Installation

YellowFin · 10-20-17, 03:45 PM

I damaged my working LSH3 2015 installation, which ran without flaw since about June 2017 and so I had to reinstall. I cleaned and freshly installed vanilla SH3 from steam and used SFSF to make a working copy of that. I installed the LSH3 supermod, and I got the game to run, but with the dark screen bug (game starts, music plays, but screen remains dark).

I have tried downgrading the nvidia driver to one that worked in spring.

I've also tried starting the game without any mods activated in jgsme.

No avail.

Any ideas welcome, as I'd like to continue my ongoing youtube LSH3 let's play.

Hi YF
All in my tutorials.
The problem „L/SH3 show only black screen… but with sound“ (only with Widescreen Mods) is solved > Latest Information By Urmel.

Thank you for your reply. I have all mods (incl wide-screen) deactivated and still cannot get into the options menu to activate v-sync. I will try a reinstallation and applying that option before installing LSH3.

Hi YF
As a matter of interest I do not have V-sync activated.
[VIDEO]
Resolution=1920 x 1020
FullScreen=Yes
Synchronized=No
DynamicShadows=No
ParticleDensity=100.000000
TextureResolutionHigh=Yes

I got around the black screen problem by rolling back my driver.
382.?? drivers do not seem to be compatible with SH game versions.

I'll give the gpu driver roll back another go tonight and I'll look at main.cfg as per your post and report back.

Thank you

Unfortunately the problem persists. I have rolled back to 382.05 (the lowest version I could obtain via nvidia.com), I have also adjusted the settings to the ones you provided in both main.cfg files /home/V15/data/cfg and /lsh3/SH3/data/cfg and I have adjusted the settings in the Nvidia control center according to the forum posts you provided.

When I start SH3 in the modded directory the intro videos start playing and after they are over the screen remains dark and the music plays.
