No graphics for SH3

THEBERBSTER · 06-29-17, 10:57 AM

Hi jaxa
This is for SH3 version.
SH3 and Windows 10 use compatibility mode Windows 7
Run any .exe Application as administrators.
Override DPI High scaling.
Right click with your mouse to open the SH3.exe
Open Properties and then compatibility.

Hauanqua: Thanks for your reply. The mod order I posted worked for me until the win10 update of 10-15 days ago. All of the different NYGM mods are in the correct order and this configuration worked before.

The Ahnenerbe wideGUI 1920x1080 is what I use. The d3d9 config file is set with the correct display width and display height. But when the display comes up, and there is sound, the program is in full screen resolution but at 1024x768. I suspect maybe the dll for the Ahnenerbe mod needs to be tweaked in order for it to work properly since the big win10 update.

I tried rolling back to an earlier driver...windows 10 would not let me.
I tried reloading directx 9.0c windows 10 did not let me.

I will keep experimenting, but the options are looking slim.

Hi silentway
I do not understand why you were not able to roll back your driver?
Did you follow my tutorial instructions?
If Windows updated your driver then your previous one should be there to roll back.
Can you tell me what your current driver version is?
Is it one of the latest 382.?? ones?

In the main cfg file my video resolution shows 1920 x 1020 even though the monitor native resolution is 1920 x 1080
Full screen = yes

1024 x 768 4.3 aspect ratio default setting for original game resolutions for VGA monitors.

d3d9 config settings (LSH3 widescreen gui mod)
[ENGINE]
ForceResOverride=true
DisplayWidth=1360
DisplayHeight=768
FullScreen=true

Unfortunately, it doesn't work

silentwayIII · 07-01-17, 02:07 PM

Thanks for the reply TheBerbster. The driver is 382.05. Windows does not let me roll it back. I tried making changes as per SH3 properties and compatability. I used your example, but it did not work.

THEBERBSTER · 07-01-17, 02:16 PM

Hi silentway
The 382.05 driver is the one that is causing all the problems.
I only know of one person who has not had problems with this driver.
My advice would be to go on the internet and download a driver that is compatible.
382.05 NO 4.5.2017
381.89 NO 25.4.2017
381.65 NO 6.4.2017
378.92 YES 20.3.2017
376.33 YES 14.12.2016
352.63 YES
376.53 YES Dec 2016

Hi TheBerbster, I downloaded the 378.92 driver two days ago and tried loading it. Windows10 did not let me load it. Is there another way of getting it loaded in win10?

THEBERBSTER · 07-01-17, 02:55 PM

Hi silentway
Try this fix!
Right click on your SH3.exe
Go to Properties
Select Compatibility Tab
Run the ‘Compatibility trouble shooter.
Your system will now start investigating for any problems.
You may be asked to ‘test the program’
If you are offered this option then accept it.
Hopefully the outcome will be successful.

Hi Herbster,
No luck! Troubleshooter tried several different configurations, but still no display. If I remove Ahnenerbe's d3d9.dll I get the 1024x768 screen, but the game plays. I really like Ahnenerbe's GUI and at 1920x1080 it's at another level.
Too bad about the driver issue, I don't know if there is a work around unless I put the game on another computer system loaded with XP or Win 7 (I own both OS's) and try to keep Microsoft at arms length so they won't change the driver like they did on win10.
Thanks for your help and advice.
