Issue with graphics outside boat.

[MT2-ss]

Looking for help. I just had to replace my C drive on my windows 7 pc. My SH3 is installed on my F drive and worked fine before replacing the C drive. Everything looks fine until I visit the bridge, either scope or free view. Once I do this the graphics are distorted until I restart the game. I have reinstalled nvidia driver and reinstalled SH3 but no difference. When drive was replaced directx updated from 9 to 11. Directx is supposed to work with previous versions but I’m not sure about that. Any thoughts or suggestions would be appreciated.

The C: drive is generally your OS drive, and as such contains the "hives" for the Windows registry that holds all of the information for you software installs. Did you re-install SH3 after the OS re-install so that it is in the registry and recognized as valid? You could re-install it to the Programs Files on the C: drive if desired, and run the modded or stock game from the F: drive. Use MultiSH3 for another Save folder. You would most likely also have to re-install the DirectX v9 files and codecs also. :salute:

Yes you need DirectX 9. Installing it won't mess up any of the v11 stuff, just adds in the older version as well.
