Thanks, walter! I changed it to 1024x768, the game started, then I alt+Tab'ed and put the desktop rez back to 1920x1080, then went back into the game, saved the settings, then restarted the game! Perfect!

Thanks!

After changing my resolution to something 4:3ish, I was able to launch the game. Great. However, I then grabbed an apparent hi-res mod (that allows you to change the resolution) and tried it various ways. First just enabling it manually, then using a mod app. What happens is the executable launches, then sits in memory and dumps after a few seconds. The game never goes beyond that. When I enabled a splash screen mod, it went to the screen, then dumped out. I've tried any number of things without success. Now, I suppose I could deal with it and play in low-res... but I want to see if anyone has found a workaround to this problem. Thanks P.S. Windows 7 AMD CPU NVIDIA 560TI 16:10 monitor Also, I used to be pretty active in this game back in the day. Probably put in a thousand hours. Picked it up on sale on Steam thinking I'd be able to jump right back in... oh boy.

Just wanted to mention a solution to a problem I was having that I imagine some other folks might run into (if it's already been covered, my apologies!)

I was having some problems starting SH3 for Steam recently. The game would immediately crash on startup with no error reported. Loading the EXE file directly gave me an error prompt that read "The procedure entry point direct3dcreate9ex could not be located in the dynamic link library d3d9.dll"

This is apparently a common error for games that don't like you to have nVidia Experience installed. Since I had absolutely no use for it, I uninstalled it, and it now works just fine.

Can I still buy the DVD for SH3?
Mine was stolen about 4 years ago.

There are still a few left floating around. The download is the cheapest. If you do buy it from Amazon, go there through the link in my sig and SubSim will get a small portion of the take, at no extra cost to you.

SH3 is still available on E-Bay if you want it on DVD. Price is around $6 + $4 shipping. :
