3d graphic error... fails to start game
 

i get an error message about 3d graphics fail when i press to start game and it attempts to start.

You cannot 'straight' start SH3 on a modern computer. What you need to do:

- Be aware that SH3 doesn't support widescreen, it's a Win XP game from 2005, so you want maybe to install one of the megamods immediately.

- You must right-click sh3.exe > Properties > Compatibility and set the compatibility to Win XP and Run As Admin.

- To start SH3, you need to go in your grafic card setup program, set the Scaling Options to Fullscreen and the 'Scaling with' to GPU.
Additionally, you may have to chose a lower resolution on your desktop first before starting the game.

I hope this gets you started, and...
