Jeffery: I was finally able to download the DX 6.1 files from microsoft. However, once I installed them I noticed no difference with the way the SP movies were playing (ie. stuttering and taking several seconds per frame). Prior to the DX 6.1 install I'd installed the latest drivers for both audio and graphics from Compaq. These too, did not make any difference. I then made the DS3D=o and EAX=0 and also the 8BitMovieSound=0 changes that you'd suggested, all to no avail. In utter frustration I uninstalled the entire game and then reinstalled it v2.0 patch and all. After another reboot I was amazed to see that the movies were playing fine. DS3D=1 and EAX=1 were back in the alphacentauri.ini file and still everything worked just fine. I went into the scenario editor and played about 5 or 6 of the movies that always gave me the most trouble, but they played without a hitch. I've now started a new game and after 2 or 3 hours of play and three new Secret Projects built I've found no errors. I just wanted to pass along a thanks for all your help and the suggestion to anyone else having problems that they try a complete uninstall and then install the game over again. This has worked for me! Now I've got to get back, those damn Peacekeepers are demanding more money or they'll end our truce and Miriam has just landed a strike force on my shores...maybe I can convince Zarcharov to betray her for some cold hard cash...hmmmm |
