Crash to Desktop During Combat

[rawink]

Ok, when i load scenario "War in the Pacfic" aka the BIG ONE!

the Jap's get first move.. the units do their thing.. some recon aircraft do their thing..

but at the FIRST air attack the game crashes to desktop .. I turned off animations.. same deal.

I have the DD version

I am running Win XP SP2RC directX 9.c

Dell GX260 2.6Ghz 512MB RAM

Audigy 2 Sound Blaster
Nvidia ti-4200 128MB vid

Robert,

Did this happen as a sound was being played? Please try to see if it happens again - based on your specs, I gather sound drivers are updated?

Audigy 2 Sound Blaster

What driver version? I have an Aud/2 as well and am crash free.

[rawink]

5.12.00001

but it's from 2003!!!

let me check this out and update if need be .. then get back to you

[rawink]

a new one was release march 04.. am DL now.. will report back

[rawink]

updated driver to newest..

Crash

set DX setting to basic accelration for sound..

Crash

for what it's worth I can hear the aircraft diving sound effect fine. It plays for the recon flights without issue.. it's only when an opposing aircraft comes up that it crashes.

[Mr.Frag]

That sucks ... something to be said for building your own machine ...

Rename your sound directory until the 2by3 guys figure it out. Should get you running.

[rawink]

renamed directory , it worked.

this machine was free from work. I upgraded the video and sound of course..

Will install on my notebook later, it doesnt have SD sound.

[Erik Rutins]

Robert,

Good to hear, we'll get this worked out so you can hear sound again. When you have some free time (if ever again , could you post a DXDiag file from your machine here for us? Thanks.

Regards,

I've got the same problem,
Renaming the Sound folder fixes the problem

Win 2k SP4 DirectX 9.b
Athlon XP 2100+
512 MB RAM
Nvidia Geforce4 MX 440
C-Media CMI8738/C3DX (integrated on the MB)

[Mr.Frag]

See instructions pinned at the top for producing DXDIAG dump for the developers.

[Dabo]

can I attach the file or should I cut&paste it?

[Mr.Frag]

can I attach the file or should I cut&paste it?

Email the file to support@matrixgames.com with a note that it is for the WitP sound crash. I'm sure they'll get it into 2by3's hands.

[Dabo]

thanks

I'm also having the sound trouble. I'll try updating drivers and if that doesn't work, I'll rename the sound file and e-mail dxdiag to the support address Mr. Frag mentioned.

Hello, having the same problem. Tried all scenarios, and game crashes rifgt at AAA fire. Air recon ok. Saw a torpedo attack, it ran ok. Dog fights ran all the way through but when it ends as soon as aaa fire comes it crashes.
I checked my drivers all were up to date except sound it now is and still crashes.
My system:
HP pent4 2.53ghz, 512ram,DX9.0b, realtek audio drv 5.10.0.5620

Going to try nosound name change.
I did rundxdiag and checked sound, it all passed. I need to redoit to send in.
hope this helps[:)]

[Germ29]

renaming sound to nosound worked. I will make DX report soon. The game looks awesome. Thanks guys.

Same as the above.

Workaround seems to work OK.

Sent my DxDiag.txt to support@matrixgames.com.

[Arnir]

I'm in the same boat as above. (Posted in a different thread).

Workaround works. Sent my dxdiag info in.

To make it more amusing, my good desktop CTDs and my old laptop works fine. [&:][:D]

Same - almost identical Dell machine as rawink
