SH5 Doesn't work
 
:wah:
Ive just installed SH5 (including the internet update) and tryed to play it but when i start the misson the screen goes snot green with a purple lighting bolt though it and then im on the conning town deck and there isnt any water just black with big ice bergs of purple and blue. ive reinstalled it but it still does the snot \ Lighting \ iceburgs thing. HELP! ive wanted ages to play it and now so close but so far.

Sounds like a problem with the card/driver. Try setting the driver up so it leaves stuff like AA in application's control. :hmmm:

Anyone know if the SLI settings apply to dual-GPU cards? :06:

ive left AA set to the app control. just tryed campain and that just doesnt let me move. btw in running windows 7

Reinstall perhaps? Sounds like your missing a few things.

Update my nvida drivers and reinstalled 3times(reg cleaned each time) and I've taken Vsync off. Can no one help

Ive just installed it on my second pc and its doing the same thing. I think i'll be play SH3 GWX3 for sometime :yawn:

Sounds like a corrupted installation base.
Where did you purchase SH5 (Steam, Amazon etc.)?

slupanter 03-28-10 06:12 AM

Play.com. you think i should get in touch with them?

The Enigma 03-28-10 06:18 AM

Hi slupanter,

Yes, you could contact them or UBI to help you.
But there are some steps you could take before doing so.

Does play.com provide DVD's or online downloads?
If the last, it should be possible to re-download the game.
That I would try first.

When installing from a DVD, use default option.

Thanks, I am going to ring them on Monday asap and then get back to you all. I'll still tell you ever if it does get fix. thanks guys :yeah:

I don't have the game so I'm not sure if this is related to your problem. Some games I have installed didn't work right until I right clicked on the shortcut and then disabled things under the compatibility tab like Disable desktop composition, Disable display scaling on high DPI settings, etc. Give those two a shot and see if it makes a difference for you. Good luck.

If your installation fails on two seperate confirgurations, I would conclude that it IS indeed your installation copy thats broken. Its the only mutual piece of that puzzle

:cry: its not the game. I've tried a P version and it does the same thing. I think the game doesn't like my pcs :wah:

geosub1978 04-01-10 12:39 PM

Same thing here. I suspect, an ampere weakness on 12V output of the powersupply to the graphics card. This is not an easy solution at all! Drivers, PCIe bus, graphics card, settings...anything!Goodluck, 99,5% the game copy is alright.

slupanter 04-02-10 12:38 PM

do you mean the twin 6 pin 8 pin connector? i tryed it on my other pc (AMD 955 black ed 4GB 1066 N280 GTX) and i still have the same problem. has any got a N295/ Windows 7 or the same problem? i dont know if it one of those 2.:cry:
