[luke313]

A clean restart dude - one second I'm flying, the next I'm POSTing...

[Zak33]

thats a weird one....

OK.....lets do this in HARDWARE FORUM

[luke313]

FFS, had another one, this time in a VEF It always seems to happen when theres some action going on in game - never on the loading screen etc, so it could be graphics related, but it hasn't happened in any other games (or benchmarks for that matter), so maybe its an AEP programming error??
Just leaves me quite stuffed for any kind of AEP flying action

start a thread in hardware and lets see if we cant get this sorted

[luke313]

Hmm, I think I might have sorted this. Whenever I start a new mission/game my sound seems to be fubared. I can hear flak and engines from the other side of the map etc, but it goes if I go into my sound setup and click apply, even without changing any settings. I *think* that when I get the restarts it has been without me "fixing" these settings and its only now when I've realised it. I've just flown 2 moderately long VEF's without a restart when changing these settings before takeoff. Will update soon enough saying its got naff all to do with it

[luke313]

...And heres the confirmation that it doesn't work But I deffo think its sound related, it usually happens when I'm getting fired at or changing flaps/gear etc. Gonna do a few tests in QMB with and without sound and at different settings, then post in the Hardware forum - gonna try and sort it out myself first though...

PS, Skii, been as though it was your sound card before I bought it ages ago, did you have any problems with it?? Overheating etc

can i ask whats the big blue

[Tumble]

Luke - I had Monster sound problems after installing AEP - it was fine if I turned off "extensions" but then the sound was utter rubbish and very horrible... so I opened the Setup utility from the start menu.... the screen you get from a fresh FB/AEP install and set the sound to "Safe Windows 2000 DirectX settings" It's worked a treat and my games actually a bit quicker now... with proper quailty sounds

[emul8]

if so...see ya all up there in the big blue about 9pm

can i ask whats the big blue is it a good game
