Has anyone been able to solve the problem with Silent HIll 3, where it crashes as it reaches the violence warning?

Using Windows xp 1.6 ghz, 512mb ram, ati radeon 9800xt 256mb.

Thanks!

I haven't tried the full game yet on this computer, but I had the same issues with the demo (I'm running Win xp, 1.5 ghz, 512MB ram, GeForce 4 Ti 4800)

I did get it working.

On the desktop shortcut, I set it to compatibility mode for....I think windows 2000, might have been 98.

Did this, and ran perfectly.

what about patching your card?....whats the cataylist you have?

most recent one is 3.10

I have Silent Hill 3....it gets past and runs....and i have a 9800 Pro (128), on 2800+XP barton, 1 gig ram, and XP.....

try a reinstall of it.....or change the resolutions( you can find the config utility in the silent hill 3 folder, it looks like 3cubes stacked)

also anyone know how to turn off the nosie effect(you could in SH2) it just seems too grany for me...

tried every config possible, re-installed, still crashes. Getting angry...HULK SMASH!!! :crazy:

There was another issue I remember reading of which was caused my certain codecs... if memory serves me it was specifically mpeg codecs

Try uninstalling any codec packs you've got, then try setting it to compatability mode for Windows 2000.

I might recommend the official forums, somewhere on Konami's website....don't ask me for linkage, google is your friend.

Although most people there are busy, as you say, "Getting angry...HULK SMASH!!!!" :p

Maria was her name.

Do you mean the unnoficial plot guides? I haven't read the 3rd one yet because I don't own a copy to play through yet...don't wanna ruin any shock endings.

well i mean there are like reviews/theorys of what things were/what not....

anotherwords deeper thoughts of things in the games, symbols, ideology, possible truths...

thanks for the name, it escaped me at that point in time because i remembered the sence where they met, and tryed to recall what she said...

anyway the theory things can be found on gamefaqs ....
