Problems in VMware Fusion?
Hi. I just installed SH3 (via Steam) into a Windows 7 virtual machine on top of VMware Fusion.
When I launch it, the opening video plays and then freezes to a black screen. Anyone else seen this? I can't explain it. Several other games play just fine including DW, etc. |

What is the desktop resolution in the virtual machine? SH3 in Windows 7 chokes if the resolution is larger than 1024x768 pixels.

Interesting. Thank you.
Yes, I am way above 1024x768. I will fix and re-test. Is there a fix for this or am I always stuck in this res? I had SH3 installed last year on a Windows 7 PC and I don't seem to recall this... |

There are widescreen mods for SH3 though. I just do not have a link to them. You may want to search for it, or wait until someone else suggests it.

Well, there is a very good chance that this is related to virtual hardware. I have no experience with VMware at all, or Macs (implied by Fussion) so I can't help further.
Since you got the game through Steam it should not have the dreaded Starforce copy protection anymore. I'm out of ideas.
