How to fix a video codec issue with Pz Corps

[andrewmazlim]

(But again, trully, I can't understand WHY/HOW... I was FINE since... 20:00 this evening, I removed the DVD version from my system, I installed the downloaded version... and EVERY problem started from that point!)

[VPaulus]

I know that 7.7.5 and 7.7.7 was working well, but I can't found them for download.

But before downloading, let us first try to run the K-Lite Codec Tweak Tool.
It's in your start menu:



Choose All options and select only "Detect Broken Codecs and Filters, Other fixes".
Let it run.
After finishing rename again "_Audio" to "Audio" and test the game.
Report back.

[VPaulus]

I cannot tell why, but systems have their things sometimes. The only thing I can tell for sure it is not related with DVD version or for the fact of being a digital download. There's no difference.
But I can't tell you what happen.

[andrewmazlim]

Well, I did what you told me...
...and nothing changed!

I tell you what; I'll try to install it in the other partition of mine (with W7) and I'll report back to ya.
Now, go get some sleep.

I still have 1 or 2 hours left
I'll be here, if you need me.
But it's a good test with Windows 7. But careful, coincidences exist. Don't take any conclusion if doesn't also work with Windows 7.
Believe me, I do repair and maintenance of computer system for more than 20 years, I know what I'm talking.
I've several PC around me. And I've seen this thing happened in Windows 7, Vista and XP. The same file with which I install and play.

Here is a good thread: tm.asp?m=2916301

Found the 7.7.0 (Mega) and the 7.7.7 (update), as much as I found (of course) the new one, the 7.9.0.

Well... unfortunatelly I'm not (repairing/maintening PCs) and I don't want to - just to play my fav. game.
So, what do you think I should do, except the W7 try?

[VPaulus]

You can try 7.9.0.

But first the thing can be only related with wav. So I would convert the wav to mp3.
Hang on a minute I'll find the file for you to download.

[andrewmazlim]

Bro..., you're the F*CKIN' wizard... GANDALF!!!
I fixed it!!!
It was the bloody f*ckin' k-lite!!!... I removed it, I installed the latest 7.9.0 ver (WITHOUT TOUCH ANYTHING - I left the default setup) and my... motherf*cker PANZERS HAVING SOUND... when kickin' some Russian arses!!!

Thxs, mate!

[andrewmazlim]

Trully, bro...
I need your email, FaceBook profile, something... to having you handy IF I F*CK-UP my system, again!

Well done, laddie!!!

[VPaulus]

Edit: I see you solve your issue.
I feel glad for you.
Go play it, now.

By god, I believe he's got it by George....

[El Condoro]

Awesome job, VPaulus. Apart from fixing this problem you have informed me (and others) about the issues involved and an approach to correcting them.

Maybe the OP could thank you by changing the title of the first post - it wasn't really a problem with the game.

[IainMcNeil]

Indeed - awesome job VPaulus!

[andrewmazlim]

Well done, "Paulus" (you picked a general's name, who surrender, bro! You ROCK! You should pick "ROMMEL", instead!)...!!!
Really thankfull for your help, mate.

From my last message last night, I'm SERIOUS KICKING some "Red" arses - just upgrade ALL my 10 panzer divisions to Tiger I & II...!!!

I suppose it was the most eloquent way that anybody said to Hitler "F*** you!".
I believe he felt that one.
Besides nobody pick generals that surrenders.[;)]

Well, my friend, if Paulus used the 500.000 German soldiers POW to tell Hitler "f*ck-off", to me ISN'T a "good way"!

What I meant, was that by surrender and not committing suicide, he told Hitler to "F*ck-off".

My friend... surrender against the Soviets... WAS SUICIDE!!!
Do you know how many Germans returned to Germany, after they were POW in Stalingrad? FEW thusands!

There was no other way out after the encirclement.
Do you know what was the condition of the German troops at the surrender time?
