resolution problem causing black screen

Post by cleftlipkid »

yeah you probably all know the drill for the rezz problem. installed then tryed to change the rez and it wouldnt change up. yeah thats normal. but when i clicked ok it did the thing where it changes the rez and the screen flickers between black and off but never came back up. i have tried launching it in a different rez size via a short cut, i have tried repairing and reinstalling and nothing works.
Please Please help as its my first silent hill game and i really want to play the great seriese that i have been hearing about

Right click the icon on your dekstop and go to the compatibility tab. Check "run as administrator" & set it to Windows XP SP3. This fixes some issues.

I don't know that I'll really be able to provide any help, but it would definitely be useful if you were to post your computer's tech specs for help. What OS are you on, as well?
