If you've had the same problems with GWX, i think, you will also have nearly the same ones with vanilla SH3.
Therefore you should update the drivers of your graphics adapter.

Your system is powerful enough to play LSH3 V5.

I deactivated all the mods and downloaded and installed the latest driver for my ATI Radeon 4350 graphics card. I encountered no problems running the vanilla SH3. I'm still encountering the black screen problem running LSH3. Any suggestions on what it could be? Is anyone else encountering problems? Hoping for some advice. Thanks for the outstanding support.

Default Question on graphics

I believe I have this installed correctly but reading some of the questions I am not sure. Does this mod change the look of the game as some others do or is it a improvement on game play?

Could this mod also work with a 16 km environment, instead of the standard 9 km? If yes, which one would be best suited? Thanks in advance.

Hello dcb,

you will not need a 16 km environment because it is already built in.
See page 11 of the "LSH3_V5_Minimanual_EN.pdf" for further information.

Hello Mad Otto,

can you see this intro screen when you start SH3:


Then congratulations LSH3 V5 is correctly installed.

And yes, LSH3 V5 changes the look of the game and improves game play!

Just get in and have a look around!

Hello rugby6,

we did have CTD with developement-versions of LSH3V5 when zooming in and out of F5 with Win Vista and Win7.
These problems have been fixed and did not happen with Windows XP.

In fact you are the first reporting this problem.

You might try the "4GB-Patch" delivered with LSH3 V5 but read carefully and remember to modify your boot.ini.

Another choise might be the use of "GameBooster" http://www.iobit.com/gamebooster.html
because the number of tasks running in the background of your system may also take an influence on the amount of free memory.

If all this does not work, the only chance i see will be a new clean install of SH3 and LSH3 V5.

Thanks for your help. I downloaded gamebooster and did a complete reinstall of SH3 and LSH3. I adjusted the RAM in my computer, giving me 3 Gig. I'm still experiencing crashes and the black screen.

Hello rugby6,

out of more than a thousand downloads since Monday-14, you are the only one who reports this strange error.

Therefore I think, there must be something wrong with your system.

Please contact me by E-Mail. See your Visitors Messages!

Thanks to you and the team for the mod blueduck
I too encountered the same problem with the tdc controls as rugby and phoenix (not being able to drag the needles round the dials).
Apart from that no other issues so far,running sweet

Hello Kremmen,

a screenshot would have been helpful!

Did you check, if the automatic targeting is turned off?

Rightclick your Weapon Officer, click the mouse and move the view a little higher. If the lamp is red switch to green (or vice versa) and try again.

If it still does not work, switch to the Officer again and try to change the dials from his view.

Please report.
