Does AH2 change any sound settings?
« Reply #15 on: July 03, 2004, 07:58:08 PM »
Just checked my DirectX settings... Sound was at Full Hardware Acceleration. I *thought* I turned it down to 3/4, but observation would seem to suggest otherwise. Just got done flying for about 2 hours, been a bit sketchy near GVs, approaching cons, using hat, or opening text bar. My overall framerates seem to be pretty normal, except in these circumstances.

I'm gonna go grab some chow and some frosty barley pops, and log back in after while. I'm gonna be ticked if this was the problem on my machine. Coulda sworn i turned it down, I never run this card on full accel (okay, never knowingly anyway).

Out of curiousity, what audio cards and settings are the rest of you using?

I don't know enough about Vid/Aud acceleration to know what-affects-what, or more specifically, how sound acceleration messes with video rendering, but Pyro said something earlier about the culprit likely being something small and overlooked, and I guess I'd better start looking a little more carefully

Cheers

Make sure you set it with the dxdiag tool. run>dxdiag>sound

If you set it from the speaker in the system tray, it will revert back to your directx settings.

Dang, 0 improvement by reducing DirectX sound accel. With many cons around, its positively awful :(

Next experiment will check to see if enough beer can alleviate the symptons, if not the problem itself.

Patch 5 = Sightly lower framerates but no stuttering or minifreezes.  Very smooth until one of the CTDs averaging every 30 minutes.:(

I have lost all patience with AHII so I am cancelling my account.  this is no improvement and all of the complaints I had about AHI are only magnified here.

Patch 4 and the Test were great for me.  Patch 5 looked and played great last night till I gave up logged after the 3rd CTD in 1.5 hours.  All 3 crashes occured in cruise flight with max refresh fps and only a couple friendlies near.  I did not lose UDP and have a stable cable connection.  ATI sliders were on Quality w/2xAA.  Ingame top sliders were max, distance 2 miles, 1 texture load/frame, and default 1024 textures @ 1024x768.  Video used was 55 of 260.

Any software product as complicated as a game will have these kinds of issues when first released!  Try to remember that HTC is reinventing the wheel, here, by coming up with a new graphics engine.  THIS AIN'T EASY!  If it were, we'd all be doing it.

I really believe they are doing the best possible job getting the issues worked out.  There will be a period of time when things are flaky, unreliable, and bad.  We can survive it, if we remember it's all about making things better down the road.
