Engan · 09-24-10, 04:30 PM

as soon as the intro videos a done the game freezes and shuts down

have tried both Stock vers and GWX, same thing...

got SH4 on too but never had any probs whit it.

im out of ideas now, any one have any?

What happens, charge it or will the CTD directly,

Engan · 09-24-10, 04:39 PM

it just shuts down the moment the main menu should pop up, and the system just says unknown error

Gerald · 09-24-10, 04:45 PM

What is your spec out for PC?, and where have you installed the SH3 partion I mean did you do install in C....

Engan · 09-24-10, 04:50 PM

yeas its in C:/
my pc spec are:
Pentium Dual core E5200 @2.50GHz
3Gb RAM
and GeForce 8800 GS 1648mb

never had any problem whit the game before, but just out of the blue the game starts to crash....

Have you recently made a re-install, if so, you need to clean the registry and delete the previous fragments of the SH3 before installing again,spec on your computer is not a problem in this perspective

Engan · 09-24-10, 05:03 PM

yep have made several reinstall on clean files but still have the problem, start to wonder if the disc is the prob here?

, runs just fine when installing

Gerald · 09-24-10, 05:16 PM

When you re-install so it should be done with the disc, which I guessed that you have made,Patches and you have the right? you have deleted in my doc, also

Engan · 09-24-10, 05:22 PM

yes, thats why i cant figure it out. what the heck is wrong

I can see where this could be aggravating. Your PC should run SH3 very well so that is ruled out, I would normally recommend a reinstall but since you've already done that I guess it would just waste your time. Try it with commander, i don't know if it will change anything but I have had similar problems but with just GWX3 and for whatever reason installing commander seemed to solve that problem.

Have you updated the drivers for your video card, and what settings have you got there? Since you say that the picture "freezes"

Do you have a widescreen resolution monitor? Try forcing the desktop resolution to 1024x768 and try again.
