Someone on opflashpoint.org posted a pic that looks similar to my problem. Here is the link... http://forums.opflashpoint.org/viewtopic.php?t=17597

I just upgraded from 98 to XP and now I'm having problems with Flashpoint. I have version 1.96 and I'm getting what looks like a rainbow with about every color you could think of on the screen. Anyone know offhand what the problem may be? I'm running a 1800+ AMD with a Gforce FX5200 running the latest drivers.

By the way I can't disable or enable the sound hardware acceleration. It says "disabled" and I cannot change it from within the game. Anyone know whats up? Also, if I cannot update the AC97 chipset, where do I get a Soundblaster chipset? I'm thinkin of getting a Radeon 9500 Pro. Anyone have problems with this and Flashpoint?

Hey thanks everyone...

I love Flashpoint but was somewhat dissappointed with the close fighting and building interiors. When ever shooting at the AI up close the sights are too sluggish. This may be an attempt to make Flashpoint more difficult but I believe it makes it too hard. Also, the building interiors could use some work. Possibly bullet holes on the walls inside and out when you shoot them and maybe a larger hold when hit by an rpg. It would be nice if buildings would collapse when hit by large rounds or blown up by a sachel charge. Finally, one thing that would be really nice is tall grass. Nicely cut lawns don't exist in the middle of a warzone. Cant wait for OFP 2 and 2004 is too far away. Maybe they will use OFP as a base and just upgrade to speed up development.

I have no idea what manufacturer it is b/c this computer is a no name brand but when I ran windows update search all I got was a bunch of security warning updates and a microsoft explorer 6.0 update. Does this mean anything? Would a new sound card help?

Is it possible to downgrade back to 1.75 if i cannot resolve this problem?

Ok... I've been playing Flashpoint for about a half a year with 1.75 Resistance and decided to upgrade the version. I downloaded 1.90 a few months ago and experienced sound problems. When firing full-auto, there is no sound or just clicking likd when the mag is empty. It got to be really annoying so I decided to uninstall Flashpoint and reinstall it back to 1.75. Now today I finally got the time to download 1.85 and experienced the same prob. I like 1.85 because of the fixes and addons that I can now use. I need to know if anyone else has experienced this problem and if there is any way to fix it. I have dial-up and do not feel like deleting it again after 3 hours worth downloading. Do I need to buy a new sound card? Specs: AMD Athlon XP 1800+ 512MB PC133 SDRAM 40GB Hard drive 64MB Sis Display Adaptor AC97' 3d Audio Enhanced Sound Windows 98 OS

oops... I meant to say it could be made to work like the US Machinegun Pack M249... Thanks

Ares Defence has released the SHRIKE 5.56 upper receiver for the M-16 series weapons and I'd make an awesome machinegun. Â It could be make to work with the the US Machinegun Pack M249, belt fed as well as magazine. Â It could be configured with short and long stocks and barrels, as well as other various optics like the ACOG sight. Â I'd really like to see this weapon be made into an addon but just started to learn how to use O2. Â Hope someone is or starts working on this addon.

I have been playing and it seems that ALL of the guns actually fire too fast. With the HK G8 I can empty the 200 rnd. belt in like 7 seconds. The guns fire as fast as the minigun on full auto so they can't keep up with the sound. You can see the number of remaining rounds go down very fast and it is impossible to fire two or three shots without shooting 9 or 10. All you hear is clicking, but single and three shot burst work fine. I guess I'm stuck with using them until I get this problem resolved.

Yeah. Its wierd how the sound comes back when you shoot into the sky but when ya shoot at the ground its messed up. O well. Hopefully a new patch will solve this problem. Is everyone having this problem? If not, please post your specs. I wonder if downloading the file again will help.

Ok, im running : AMD Athlon XP 1800+ 200/266 Mhz AMD Athlon front side bus 512 MB PC 133 RAM 64 MB Sis VGA Video Adapter 128-bit AGP Graphics Accelerator AC97' 3D Audio Enhanced Sound Card 52X CDRW Ill try downloading those two upgrades.

I'll give my system specs later today when I get back home but its an AMD Athlon 1800+ processor so it is fast enough. I have one question though. Are the Flashpoint 1985 Campaign 1.90 upgrade and the Red Hammer 1.90 upgrade needed if I am running OFP Resistance. Could that be the problem?

Okay now I finally have an idea what could be causing the distorted sound. When I fire up into the sky it sounds normal but when i fire onto ground where there are more graphics, it fires too fast! It is firing so fast that all i hear is the first tiny bit of the sound before it starts over again. Is there any way to slow this down?
