I am having the same problem, but the simple change to Main.cfg doesn't work for me.

All my efforts end with: the game intro, then the black screen with the music.

I've installed only SH3 (no mods) to the default location (previously), and directly off "C:/" (currently). I've changed the settings in Main.cfg on the current location. I'd like to add mods once SH3 standalone works.

I have a recently purchased SH3 DVD ver 1.4 (with Gameshadow neutered)
windows 10 ver 1703, build 15063.502 (creators update)
intel i5-7400 @ 3GHz
Ram 8GB
NVidia GeForce GTX 1060 3GB

I LOVED this game in 2005. I built a PC for it, played it for years, then became a Dad...

ANY help would be greatly appreciated.
