sound error: EM crashes

Post by GAlex »

i've experienced a fatal sound error (2 times as for now) which crashes EM v1.128, while in MP.

no SP issues for now.

the error msg states the app could not find a sound.

first time i was using repeatedly NP . voice chat

second time i was firing missiles while energy low, shield low and missile proximity alerts were blinking (i was pressing 3 kb keys: tab, a, w and right mouse button). as i clicked on RMB, the error fires instead of missiles.

maybe related to sound drivers?
weird, since i haven't experienced this before.

any clues?

When you have time, I'd be interested in a screenshot of the error message and an MSINFO report on your system ( http://www.starwraith.com/evochronmercenary/faq.htm#8 ). Likely something specific to a certain sound device and its driver.

ok.
hopefully it won't replicates.

in the adverse case, i'll send you the screenshot + the msinfo file.
