Geforce 6200 pci and SHIII question

AVGWarhawk · 05-19-09, 10:39 AM

Yes, I ran SH3 with a 6200 card.

Thanks for the reply. For the first time I tried hitting ESC when the green screen showed up and it made the screen disappear. I hit ESC one more time and it cut to the main loading screen. I got into the game and it is rendering.

So I think it may be that its not able to run the intro movie and giving me that green screen and blue error message. Although I did allow the game to install the codecs so I don't know what the problem was. But if I just hit ESC a couple of times at the green screen it cuts right the the main game loading.

I also tried running in harware and in open gl and they both work. Is one better than the other for SHIII? Thanks again.

You need to go sh3>data>movies and delete the intro file mate. I'm running with a 6200 as well and needed to do that.

EDIT: if you're planning on installing GWX you may want to leave the file where it is until after installing the mod.

A friend some time back played SH-3 with GWX 1.03 on a Nividia 5600 agp card 128 mb quite nicely.

I play SHIII with a Geforce 6200 AGP card without a problem. It can even handle SH4 on medium settings. I ran a 5200 card until I got SH4 and had no problem with SHIII. Check your drivers and settings and see if that helps.
