BS Freezes on any graphics option change, with error log

trueman832 · June 11, 2009

Dear Black Shark forums:

HEEEELLLLLLPPPPP! :helpsmilie:

With that out of the way, I have a system that until recently ran BS just great at 1680x1050. After setting up a Matrox Triplehead2Go Digital with 3 1680x1050 monitors, everything fell apart, but not in the way you'd think.

On a fresh install of BS everything appears great. It'll run windowed at 1024x768 as long as I don't touch the options. When I do, it goes to refresh the screen and never comes back, just an unresponsive desktop with the BS menu music playing on a loop. The task manager says it's running, but I can't get anything from it. I have tried 1680x1050, 5040x1050, different aspects, fullscreen, windowed, 1 camera, 3 camera, even mucking about in graphics.cfg and options.lua. When I restore the backups of those files, the game runs again in 1024x768.

Here's my system:

Q6600 @3.15GHz

EVGA 680i mobo with latest flash and chipset, onboard sound

4gb PC800 RAM (2x2)

Asus GTX295

Windows Vista 64 Home Premium

WD Raptor 150 + Seagate 320 Drives

Matrox Triplehead2Go Digital with 3 LG 22" monitors (works great otherwise) native 5040x1050, a selling feature of Black Shark

Saitek X52 FCS

Logitech generic mouse

After killing the game in task manager, it generated this report in error.log:

(please note, there is no autoexec.cfg file to be found on my system)

Error running Config/autoexec.cfg: cannot open Config/autoexec.cfg: No such file or directory

Problem solved. For anybody else experiencing this, it's the result of using 5040x1050 game resolution with 5040x1050 desktop resolution. Decrease your desktop res to the next 16:10 res down the list, then re-run Black Shark. This MIGHT require a clean install. Set BS to 5040x1050 and you're good to go, but be sure to use 3-camera mode for a 180 degree panorama.
