i dont know where those strange pics come from, but i may also be they just show up because of that heavy freeze i get. Maybe they are always in the background..who knows ;P
In my opinion the freeze is the main problem, from what i read here it doesnt seem to be related to the type of vga or sth else, but maybe you still got an idea what i could try, except updating drivers.
This mod looks so cool...now that i saw it i dont really want to play without it

Have you tried the d3d antilag fix? If not, I can package it up as a JSGME mod, and post a link so that you can try it easily. If you are not currently using it, it should stop the freezing entirely(I use it, and it works wonders for FPS).

Just install using your SH5 JSGME. It's exactly the same one I use.

Oh, the d3d fix is not my mod. I just have it(you can download it from a website, don't have the link handy though). But, that website does not have the fix in JSGME format.

Anyway, here is the fix in JSGME format. Just install it like any other mod.

You are more than welcome, I just hope that this works for you.

Edit: AVM beat me to it. Either download will work just fine.

Sorry, I probably shouldn't have done that.

There is a difference between my version and SteelVikings one: mine adds one more restriction to your game (allows maximum FPS of 30), while his lets your game generate as much FPS as it wishes. You can easily change this setting by editing the "antilag" file (in Notepad) and changing 30 to other values (0 - no restriction).

So if 0 works fine for you and fixes your problem, leave it as it is. If it doesn't, try 30 (lower values will give rather unacceptable results). If 30 works fine, you can then try higher settings step by step, till you reach the limit of you comp abilities. I wouldn't suggest going higher than your screen frequency though (it wouldn't make much sense anyway).

hmm, that didnt help me either guys, i could cry
I even tried an older driver cause I was running newest nvidia beta driver with no success....
I dont understand whats going wrong here. I might try to reinstall SH but I think I do that tomorrow.
Was there any other case with a similar problem, maybe just without those pictures showing up. Just want to mention again it only occurs inside the tower, everything else runs fine.

btw where could that come from with the pictures from the intro video showing up during the freezes, doesnt have much to do with my problem I think but I still wonder

That is weird, reinstall could be helpful. But did you try disabling the intro video? Check my mod, you have nothing to lose:

There is one other thing that you could try. I have an ATI card, and I have CCC(control software for the card) do Nvidia cards have a controller software program for them?

If so, I would recommend setting the software to accept application settings. I have found that setting it up that way works best for SH5.

Ok i tried both of your ideas, still no success.
But with the intro fix, at least those annoying pics dont show up anymore Now I could see that the games switches to desktop for short time during the freeze all the time, but only for about a sec or less.
Maybe you have an idea about that.

I hope we manage to get it working for me, I dont mind how many time it takes

Oh and i did a reinstall to get sure its no install error
