Thanks for the links. I was only searching in the AA forum for dual core, so I guess I missed those with my search. Guess I'll find out when AA is released... in 2009.

I'm looking to build a new computer and would be swayed to buy a dual-core CPU if I knew AA would take advantage of it. Any word on this? I did a search but didn't find anything conclusive... Thanks!

So, when I started playing OFP in 2001, I would cross paths with a guy named Death-1 every few weeks on Gamespy and he would show up with some damn amazing MP maps. Â I'm currently looking for more COOPs by the same author, but it's been a while, so maybe he's ghost. Â Here are a few titles that I have: Return to Vung Tao 3rd Harbor of Death Death Road 2nd Destroyer Grammar is usually pretty bad in the briefings, but they were very challenging and well constructed otherwise. Â I've probably played 3rd Harbor of Death a hundred times now and still enjoy it. If anyone can bring some new (new to me, anyway) Death-1 maps to the surface, I'd love to see them. thanks!

Wow, thanks for the quick response! I had had music off for so long, I forgot it was set that way...

So, I tried reinstalling OFP/R today and now when there's any external chat on the screen during multiplayer, it makes a little ding sound. I definitely didn't have this sound before, but I haven't reinstalled for about a year. Anyone know how to turn the ding off? I didn't notice any option in setup or in the options menu. Couldn't find it in a search of chat and sound/ding here, either. Thanks!

Problem seems to be solved for my case. Reinstalled the VIA 4in1 drivers and I seem to be up & running again. I made some other changes at the same time, but I think it was the VIA drivers that did it. Will update if I have another meltdown, but so far so good!

Quick update on my post above... I have now installed win2000 service pack 3, reinstalled DirectX 8.1b, cleared out any codemasters folders in regedit, and did a full reinstall of resistance from the start. (no firewall software running, and all original discs - OFP, Gold Upgrade, and Resistance)  Same freeze at the desktop right before game would usually start.  This is driving me nuts!  1.46 is still working fine. One curious thing that I noticed when I restarted my computer and windows was loading up (directly after the system freeze)... a block of text appeared in the middle of the screen that indicated some kind of file problem was detected on my C: drive (where i installed ofp) and there was a list of files - all of which were Flashpoint/Resistance files.  It mentioned something about them being "truncated", I believe.  The message also said it would attempt to fix the problems.  Of course, the text disappeared before I could write the specific files down.  They were all resistance-related, though. Resistance was in each file path. Hoping a patch comes out soon.  I've tried everything I can think of  (BIOS AGP 2x to 4x back to 2x, changed aperature 64/128, reinstalled, defragged HD, DirectX, updated video & audio drivers, bought a new video card, turned on/off t&l, turned on/off EAX, crossed my fingers, etc.) Emailed BIS for some assistance last weekend.  Here's hoping. Oh yeah, 2nd post.

Same happens to me.  When I first installed Resistance (had 1.46) it ran great.  A couple days later, I'm in the campaign at maybe the 3rd or 4th mission and the audio starts looping... sytem totally frozen.  No mouse.  No ALT+TAB, ctrl+alt+del, etc.  When I tried to restart Resistance, it would hang at desktop (total freeze again) right after the little rectangular resistance logo appeared in the middle of the screen.  Reinstalled everything from cd  (US retail -> Gold Upgrade -> 1.46 patch -> resistance).  No luck.  Updated to latest video/audio drivers (29.42 for the video) and tried T&L on/off, updated to DirectX 8.1b, still crashing at desktop right before the game would start.  Restart & get the same thing. My system: win2000 sp2 Abit KG7 RAID mobo Athlon 1.4 768MB DDR RAM (3x256mb crucial registered) Geforce4 4600 video Hercules Gametheater XP sound 1.46 still works fine, thankfully, as do all my other games.  Bummer, as Resistance looked great the 2 days it was working.  First post.
