Music loops during game load

[LarryP]

When I select a saved game to load, while it is loading the music loops. When I am at the playing screen the music continues fine. No biggy but it is a minor bug, maybe a gnat. [;)]

Hi Larry,
As a temporary fix (and a test) can you try turning on the advanced options in the options screen, going to "Audio Options" and doubling the music sound buffer value? Then try restarting and see whether that fixes up this issue.

Alex;

That was a good idea, but it did not fix it. I thought it would when I read your reply and was mad at myself for not remembering about that setting. I tried several higher values up to double+ and it actually made things worse.

RAM here is 2gb too.

Sorry. [8|]

The music started looping for me after I changed the zoom levels (--> Larry's + MarkShot's posts). Loading the game takes longer now, and there are peaks regarding cpu usage (didn't check the exact usage, so my guess is that the peaks hit 100 percent cpu usage on my rig, when the music starts looping). Loops occur when restarting a scenario, or when a savegame is loading, and they disappear once a scenario/savegame finished loading.

Larry,
 
Are you using Vista? The sound during loading on my vista laptop loops and stalls during a load. I also get corrupted damage boxes or more to the point no boxes but a bar that is not correctly reflecting the ship in question. Game also hangs if you set a resolution outside of the monitor's capability too. Be nice if it could tell the upper limit. I had to kill the game from the task screen.

Nope, Windows-XP Pro. Resolution here is set at 1600x1200 to a 20" LCD. Lockups are sure a drag. Sorry to hear that. [:@]
