Issues unresolved

Vsync (Enabled by default) not working correctly on Windows 10

The problem can be easily fixed using dgvoodoo2 or d3d8to9 but unfortunately it breaks the graphics of the game

Issues fixed

No sound outside of pre-rendered movies

Install newest OpenAL driver[2][1]
  1. Download and install newest OpenAL driver.
  2. Go to the installation folder and rename or remove OpenAL32.dll.
  3. May also find success deleting OpenAL32.dll from %WINDIR%\System32.
  4. If OpenAL32.dll is deleted from %WINDIR%\System32, a copy should be left in the game directory folder.

Black screen after loading a mission / game crashes after loading a mission

Install newest OpenAL driver[2][1]
  1. Go to %USERPROFILE%\Documents\SHELLSHOCK_NAM67\ and open TOD_PC.ini.
  2. In [Video Driver] section set PostRenderEffects to Off.
  3. If PostRenderEffects property is missing, simply add a line PostRenderEffects = Off.
If you have MSI Afterburner opened and the game is still crashing, close it or use dgVoodoo 2 with it to avoid crashing.

Crash at launch (Direct3D error)

Edit TOD_PC.INI
  1. Go to %USERPROFILE%\Documents\SHELLSHOCK_NAM67, open TOD_PC.ini and paste the following content:

[Video Driver]

Mode = 1920x1080x32 @ 0Hz

ScreenMode = Fullscreen

PostRenderEffects = off

[Sound Driver]

3D Sound = off

Crash when entering the video options menu

This happens due to the game failing to detect other than the game's pre-defined resolutions.
Edit TOD_PC.INI
  1. Go to %USERPROFILE%\Documents\SHELLSHOCK_NAM67, open TOD_PC.ini and paste only one of the following resolutions under [Video Driver]:
    • Mode = 640x480x32 @ 0Hz
    • Mode = 800x600x32 @ 0Hz
    • Mode = 1024x768x32 @ 0Hz
    • Mode = 1280x960x32 @ 0Hz
    • Mode = 1600x1200x32 @ 0Hz
