Resolution override....

Same here except on Nvida 6600. I did everything as instructed several times and finally gave up very frustrated.

So I'm not alone.... what are your system specs? Maybe we can narrow this down and find the problem.

AMD64
Windows XP 32bit w/SP2
Autopatcher April 2006
X-Mystique DDL sound card
Geforce 6800GT
------------------------

All I did was copy the .dll and the .ini file into the SH3 root folder, and edit the .ini file for 1600x1200. I *did* try using 1920x1200, but it would crash out on me. I also tried 1680x1050 with nojoy. The 1600x1200 works excellent. I typically run at 2Q AA and 8x AF on "quality" mode. The sub pen struggles at 30fps, but that's because my video card can't handle 6800 Ultra levels (385/1030, it's not the heat, it's the poor Nvidia voltage regulators).

Never installed ACT.

So, my point is that it could be something that Autopatcher loaded for me. It could be Service Pack 2. It could be my sound card, though I doubt it. And it simply could be my video drivers. I'm using something like the 87.xx.....uh....Detonators? Forcewares? Whatever Nvidia calls it these days.

I just uninstalled the ACT and the same exact black screen happens! Somehow the ACT is not functioning properly... Grrr I'll waste more of my life on it I guess. SH3 at 1024x768 on a 1920x1200 monitor = not fun. It's like playing a gameboy color.

i wonder if it is refresh rate related. maybe you go out of sync when the game starts.

Just tried a forced refresh rate of 72 and 75 hz and still no good. Even tried forced vsync... I'm starting to think maybe that the dll file might not work with my vid card. Anyone running a 1900xt or xtx here?
