Title: Error when trying AH2 on XP-64bit beta
Post by: Edbert on September 05, 2004, 09:46:53 AM

I tried briefly to get AH2 running on XP64 and had no luck. I got a very strange error message:

"Initialization failed with -5 mainSN_FAILED -2"

It was not clear which process or module was reporting this. I went right back to XP32 and flew at 1280X1024X32 with all the sliders on full detail, my frame rates pegged at 82-85 (guess what my refresh rate is). When I get XP64 running I'll see if it drives/flies any better or not.

Got this from an old tech support post from back in June :


That is a sound card intialization failure. Make sure your sound card is working in DirectX. Start up DXDIAG (Start->Run->DXDIAG), select the "Sound" tab, run the diagnostics and/or note the messages in the lower portion of the dialog box.
