Black screen with game paused

[HotiBomba]

Hello!

I have trouble with running SH3 recently... Was in the middle of the 15th patrol, minimized the game and went to sleep (didn't save and exited, because sometimes loading previuos save - crashes the game for me). As soon as i minimzed, pop-up screen was there with some AMD Catalyst Control Center update requirement. I accepted and hit the bed.

Tommorow i continued my patrol (but i noticed that game is running somewhat 'rough', specialy if TC is increased), returned to port and finished patrol. Exited the game -> complete PC freezes :/. Made a hard restart, started the game via SH commander as always.

First thing i noticed was windowed screen. Ok, i corrected that via game options and restarted the game as required. After i loaded patrol, i started with black screen - game is paused x0, and can't do anything to change it. I only have side controls and 6 crew icons visible - but that is it.

I did try single missions - same, and even the museum won't show the ships. Just black screen, but sound is working.

So, i assume that something went wrong after AMD Catalyst update... I tried to restore AMD C default settings, but it didn't help.

Anyone had same issues? Or maybe know how to fix this problem? Game is unplayable at the moment, and i really don't want to play anything else aside this beautiful game

Thanks!
