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

What I meant is I haven't got as far as installing LSH yet, I'm getting black screen just trying to load SH3 1.4 to check if it is running before installing LSH as per the install info.

You need to set 'Synchronization' (or similar name) in the grafics options. Go in the main.cfg and change to:

Synchronized=Yes

I've just done a uninstall and reinstall and patched to 1.4 and the Screen res is 1440X900, and the sync is saying Yes, but still black screen with music.

I'm happy you found the cause and the fix. Some fixes are very specific and need a lot of time to investigate, but generally subsim.com has the solution somewhere

Cheers,
