[xMaro 0]

i think 99% is audio problem, stupid audigy :/ i have latest drivers and cant run game :/

Could somebody post working drivers for Audigy/Audigy 2?

Game is meant for WinXP.

All drivers for the hardware under Vista are brand new as well.

Vista ships with DirectX 10, which is not downward-compatible on top of that.

I recommend a dual boot setup with XP/Vista for now.

that's an error for the company who made the game because i have no problem running any other games...

i guess will have to wait for a patch

Vista supports directx9 fine.

I am using vista and have Audigy onboard sound. Works like a charm.

Try run the game as administrator.

[DougQuaid 0]

i have realtek hd audio, so i dont think it is audio problem

[TheNotorious 0]

i think it is since all the ones with problem have audigy... work fine on my onther system wich use the onboard sound card

[TheNotorious 0]

what about people with the new XfI serie ?

[Mr_Tea 0]

There are no others than beta drivers out from creative right now.

I had to reactivate my onboard AC97 sound, because every game crashed with my Audigy2 and the fucking beta drivers.

Now with my onboard AC97 crap, the sound in Arma is lousy.

I hope creative will manage to release working Vista drivers soon.

Good to have still an working Win2K Prof installation.
