Whenever I start The Suffering, the main menu looks screwy .... but when I start the game all I hear are the voices and the screen remains black. Pressing esc brings me back to the menu, which does show up. I have AMD 2000+, 512 mb RAM, ATI Radeon 8500 LE 128mb (some dude in other forum sounds like he has the same prob with radeon 9200).

Any suggestions?

OK .... change of question. The above only applies to 1024x768 ... it works fine on 800x600. I haven't played a game on this shit ass resolution in a while, so any help to get it to run at higher res would be appreciated!

lol same problems and i have to agree its a POS console port one of the worst ive ever seen, THE GAME DOES NOT EVEN HAVE A README FOR CHRIST SAKE!
maged to get it working at 800x600 just dont flush any toilets if you do press escape go to the graphic options and switch the filtering around and it should go back to normal.

Yeah ... I though the lack of a readme was a little strange ... thanks for the tip about switching filtering around ... I was just going to delete the damn thing and forget about it ...

Nope mine is running perfect even when i flush any of the toilets, my only prob is that when trying 1600x1200 i get a blur line down the right hand side of the screen, switch back to 1280x1024 and it's fine. I'm using a radeon 9700 pro W/ cat 4.5 drivers (worked the same with the 4.4 as well) Very Happy

Is there any way to actually edit/change the starting config file?

have tried reinstalling, etc, natta, there is no file that I can see, and I was unable to locate any config file within the registry, etc... but even after a fresh install - still uses the same options, IE, sound, 3d sound, EAX, and non windowed mode.

u can change the setup by going to start > all programs > the suffering > the suffering setup! This allows you to choose the gfx rez, AA, sound options etc. Is that what u are after?

Ahhh, well, I was actually wondering about the config file itself, detail texturing, etc... but I guess the file is just deeply hidden... there is a src ini file listed under the one cfg file... but can't locate it anywhere

Thanks though!

i think it's a problem with R2XX core.. on my R9100 same shit happend.. and my friend with R9000Pro got this problem too.. now you just add your R8500 and that R9200 you mentioned and we have a winner..


I find it kind of funny, I find it kind of sad, The dreams in which I'm dying are the best I've ever had.
