Clean Installed WIN11 Game Paused on start 3D, TIME COMPRESSION fix never works.

chihirobelmo · 08-16-24, 07:11 PM

Hi, First time posting SUBSIM forum...

Just Clean Installed WIN11, Installed SH3 on Steam
The game starts "PAUSED" and can't un-pause.
"main.cfg" TIME COMPRESSION fix never works I confirm both at my document and steam SH3 directory SH3/cfg/main.cfg has TIME COMPRESSION settings.
(Many report this and no one ever found the solution...)

The same thing happens to both my desktop machine and gaming laptop, both WIN11. The SH3 game have run when my desktop had WIN10...

One strange thing happens if I change any OPTION in-game, like voice, to GErman, APPLY, and EXIT GAME, but when I re-launch the game, it reverts to ENGLISH. SH3 never saves to and ignores what's written to main.cfg.

POSSIBILITY: SH3 not recognizing and not reading cfg files...
SOLUTION IDEA: HOW? Have you guys ever heard any similar bug reports? (I mean cfg not recognized)

EDIT: I mean almost cleanly installed but I also installed several apps like Visual Studio to WIN11... if needed I'll create an AWS EC2 instance and try with a pure clean installed machine...

FIX FOUND!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

TURN OFF OneDrive Document backup
so it is because SH3 folder made to onedrive documents SH3 can not read it.

Hah.

I had the same problem with SH5.
Took me much longer to work out though.

I have OneDrive enabled for Documents without any issue with SH3, however I do have the SH3 documents directory 'always sync'ed' rather than on-demand sync.
