up! BIS, WHERE ARE YOU?

No I'm not agree with you Mister Frag because, as I said earlier, the way the problem can simply disappear (changing to external camera then back to internal solve the problem) show that it should easily be corrected in a patch from BIS. I know that Creative Labs is certainly the source of the problem but as those problems only appears in OFP, it is the work of BIS to fix their game. When I develop a soft for INTEL procs and that it crashes with AMD procs, it is my job to make it work on the both platforms! Olivier

My problem appeared when I installed WinXP pro as you. But that doesn't mean that it is not the ofp coder's fault. May be OFP is a bit sensible for sound, a bit too much!

My config is XP+SBLive+OFP 1.30 too. All people I know who have this problem are using this. ARE OFP DEVELOPPERS in holidays or what? I just expect a post saying that you are working on it and that it will be fixed in the next patch (and according to the posts here in the TROUBLESHOOTING FORUM, this patch is awaited by many of US!). Olivier

Thanks, But I've already tried all that is in this FAQ. Even the last Via Bus Master! But, even if the bug is due to VIA/Creative, I think the way it disappears (see earlier post) prooves that it CAN be solved by BIS.

Yes, it is a VIAKT133A motherboard. I have already tried the BIOS fixes. My VIA 4in1 are 435v but I will try the newer ones to be sure! (Edited by doitoliv at 5:53 pm on Dec. 3, 2001)

up! Are BIS developpers still alive??? Olivier

Hi all, Excuse me for my strange english cause I'm french. My problem is a very common problem for those who are playing OFP 1.30 under Windows XP with a SBLive (I know that the problem also exists with other configs but it is mostly with this one). I tried all the releases of SBlive drivers from 3509 rev 1 to 3512 (unofficial release) and the problem is not fixed. The thing which is very strange is the way the problem can disapear: -> When you drive a vehicule in internal view, the sound is crackling depending on the speed of the vehicule. -> When you pass in external view to go back after in internal view, the problem DISAPEAR. It comes back each time you enter a new vehicule... And now : what is NOT the solution! -> desactivating EAX, Sound Acceleration or both in OFP -> desactivating Sound acceleration in Windows -> replacing the SBLive by a SB128 -> activating the Win98 compatibility mode for OFP shortcut I don't think that the problem comes only from BIS but I must say that it is the only game where I encounter any problem. Furthermore, the way the problem can be stopped during game makes me think that it shouldn't be to difficult to patch that (HI, BIS DEVELOPPERS, ARE YOU STILL HERE?). In 3 words : FIX IT PLEASE! Everybody who is concerned by this bug is invited to reply this post to show BIS the number of peoples concerned. Olivier
