SH3 GWX 2.0 Launch problem

[Gumby]

Can anyone help me with this problem...
I can't start the game-after DVD check I get "Can not initialize 3D engine" message.

Should I install older graphic card drivers or what?

Don't hit me but have you patched it to 1.4?

What system you have?

System specs would help, but in the meantime perhaps?

let me guess...youre with an ati graphic card and installed a driver later than 7.9? :)

got the same problems with my 9500pro on a nforce2 chipset. it all began with 7.9 on me. after rolling back to an earlier driver alls fine again. ati really sucks. or maybe its nvidia with their poor nforce2-support ? well, decide yourself :)

hope it helps.

OK, step by step...
Yes, I patched it to 1.4b. I was running previous version of GWX and everything was OK.
In the meantime I upgraded my configuration and reinstalled Win XP. I was planning to install SH3 when I found out that GWX2.0 is to be released so I waited for it.

My system: Intel E6750 / Gygabyte P35-DS3P / 2Gb Crucial Ballistix 800MHz /
Gainward 8800GTX

Everything works smooth (usually), I don't have any problems with other games.

I mentioned drivers in my previous post because I had Radeon 1800XT before and there was a similar problem which was caused by drivers. I solved it when I reinstalled older version of drivers.

I'll try to change refresh rate first, then to install different version of drivers and I'm going to inform you what happened

Thanks, Gezoes!
The problem was fairly simple-refresh rate had been set too high.

Cheers!
