SFC 3 Refresh Rate Issues
« on: October 02, 2016, 09:07:26 pm »
I know this probably isn't the right forum for this, however I am at my wits end trying to figure out a solution to this. I am trying to play SFC 3 and whenever the game starts, it reduces my refresh rate from 60hz to 24hz. If I try to go outside the game to fix it, I get the black screen that plagued the game before the Windows 10 patch. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.

So it looks like i've figured out what file is causing the issues. The d3d8.dll from the Win 10 patch is causing the issue. Does anyone know how to edit that file? I tried a decompiler, however the file isn't supported. Any tips or tricks would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

I was the one who figured out that .dll file worked as a patch to get the game running in Windows 10. Unfortunately I have no way how to edit to increase the allowed refresh rate.
