Messed up charts and GUI (again T_T)

Krieg Francis · 05-17-17, 06:43 AM

Hello everyone.
I just came back to SH5 after some time and installed TWOS 2.0 mod (everything was done correctly).
When I start the game and go in the hangar for the first time though, my screen is all messed up. It looks like Charts and GUI have some compatibility issue that shows them completely black. I can't even put them off with a key, half of the screen is black and no buttons to disable them are shown.

I remember having this issue already and at that time I have solved it by changing compatibility to Windows 7/8, but this time it didn't work. I have also installed Directx9 as shown in the FAQ but nothing changed.
My game is not the Steam Version.

Can you help me?

Short specs:
Windows 10
2.0ghz processor
8GB Ram

Administration rights?

Always on.

Found a fix myself after a couple of hours: I had set the desktop shortcut with admin rights and win7 compatibility, but it didn't affect the .exe itself. Setting the .exe in the game folder fixed the whole thing!

So after you checked the "Run this program as an administrator" and the "Run this program in compatibility mode for: Windows 7" in the SH5.exe application in your SH5 folder, your game no longer had the black box in the corner or those smaller ones in the middle of your screen?

I've done the same thing and even installed/updated Directx9 but it seems to still be there.

Running a non-steam version, downloaded the game correctly and everything. including the mod pack. Literally having the same problem in the first post you mentioned, just cant seem to find a way to fix it.

Also, yes i ran the desktop short cut as administrator

Any other suggestions?

Thank you

I'm having the same problem.... I've lost count of how many times I reinstalled sh5 while trying different suggested solutions, and it's still broken.

Hi XlordZero
Your game is updated to the latest version v1.2.0 ?
