Upgraded CPU, now can't run SHIII...
 
It quits after the first (Ubisoft) intro movie, but before starting the second, with wanting to send an error report to Microsoft. Here are the report details...

I had a 1.4 Ghz CPU, and just upgraded to 2.0 Ghz. I thought it would make a big diffrence in running the game, I just thought it would be a more positive one, is all. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling (the uninstall didn;t seem to work right, but it dropped the game size in add/remove programs to 111 MB from 2.5 GB; running a repair install seemed to basically perform a reinstall, tho)

Suggestions?

Have you tried uninstalling it again? I doubt it has anything at all to do with the upgrade. You need to get SHIII off your computer completely and do a fresh install.

Engel der Vernichtung 11-06-06 12:21 AM
Yep... did that. Did a total uninstall, then reinstall. Same result. Blargh.:damn:

Delete the two intro videos, they are in data\movies\intro.

Same thing happened to me when I installed the hi-res .dll mod.:damn:

Had to remove the .dll, and then updated my video drivers to the "omega" ones.

AVGWarhawk 11-06-06 12:49 PM
When we say complete uninstall....EVERYTHING must go! There is a file in your MY DOCUMENTS folder. Do a search of the entire hard driver and delete anything associated with SH3. Do the fresh install.

I would never have guessed it, but this was what did the trick! Thanks! :up:

HunterICX 11-07-06 05:15 AM
its off topic but its after the intro's

why does it takes so long to load that darn main menu?
never have seen that a menu need that much time to load.
takes almost 2 minutes to load it:stare:

stabiz 11-07-06 07:35 AM
Yes, its a long load, but around 30 seconds for me. I dont get it either, whats being processed there?

Each CPU varies on load time. Mine is about enough time to get a coffee and a cigarette. Works well for me:yep::up:

NipplesTheCat 11-07-06 07:03 PM
I couldnt take the load time either so I hardly ever close the game. I use my laptop for everything except games so I have no problem leaving the game running. I dont even exit my patrols. I save the game, secure for silent running, dive, and walk away. I like to know that even when I cant play the game, im playing the game.:D

stabiz 11-07-06 07:08 PM
I hope you restart the machine now and then, this frees up memory, and lets the game run smoother.

NipplesTheCat 11-07-06 07:42 PM
Only between patrols. ;)

I don't smoke or drink coffee so my new 4600X2 dual core skips all that in a few seconds. Guess if I smoked that might not be good?
2 CPUs ago I could get a good start on dinner while my 32 bit loaded SH3.
I don't miss that.

I will add I just installed the 4600X2 last night (replaced a nice SC 3500 64bit)and there was no change to SH3 (other than it started faster and runs a little better in game graphics wise) and mine is extremely modded.

Of course I have long ago done away with the intro stuff.
