Resolution fix causing game to crash on startup

itsatrap17 · 11-28-16, 11:52 AM

So upon finding that this game won't do any resolution higher than 1024x768 and knowing that my resoultion is 1280x720 I went out to install the fix need. Now after installing the fix and putting my resolution into d3d9.cfg file, the game will crash instantly with the error report citing that the d3d9.dll file is to blame. My question is, am I missing something or is there another fix I need to use to get this game running?

And will I have to install the LSH3-2015 mod for that to work as well? Because right now I'm just trying to get the vanilla game to start up in full screen

Or the better question lies in the mods folder, since I don't have one. Do I just create the folder in the SH3 folder that's in the Documents folder?

Hi itsatrap
Post #4 JSGME Installing It Correctly
Works for all versions
Copy mods into the JSGME Mods folder.

In my case, it was incorrect video driver. My laptop video card is out of support for few years already, so I downloaded the latest drivers which were granted by manufacturer as "is the only one for you from now on and don´t ask for support anymore".

Fixed the issue with resolution mods after installation.
