ahearnb 0 Posted April 19, 2001 Hi, after talking to my high heat buddies at the message board, I have concluded that most everyone can run the game in Win2k, but not without some serious sound problems (skipping, looping, etc.). They all had a soundblaster live card, and the latest drivers for all. I wish there were email addresses on this page where the game is listed so I could email the people who reported no problems (#1 and #5). I would like to know their system specs and stuff. I don't have Win2k loaded on my machine at the moment and unfortunately I don't think I will if there are problems with this game. I would love for someone with a similar setup as mine report no problems. But, I don't think it's going to happen....anyway, if anyone has tried this game in Win2k, I would really appreciate a reply here telling how it went. Thanks!

CM 1 Posted May 3, 2001 I heard there are issues with the VIA chipset and Soundblaster Live! Share this post Link to post
ahearnb 0 Posted May 3, 2001 I know I'm going to sound stupid...but, what the heck is the VIA chipset that people talk about? I think it's got something to do with your motherboard, but I'm not really sure. I don't think I have one though. Brad Share this post Link to post

ahearnb 0 Posted May 3, 2001 i don't understand the point of your reply SHS. is this in response to the VIA chipset? Brad Share this post Link to post
SHS 0 Posted May 3, 2001 Did you or did not say this ?, "but not without some serious sound problems (skipping, looping, etc.)." As SBLive & VIA it funny ALi nor SiS chipset don't have this problem so go fig "far I know". But ask me I think maybe a DMA problem but then againe it could very well be this junk ACPI I beat all your card are on one IRQ rigth ?. Share this post Link to post
ahearnb 0 Posted May 3, 2001 um....i think you are trying to help me, but i don't have a clue as to what you just said. Brad Share this post Link to post
CM 1 Posted May 3, 2001 Yes VIA chipset is on your motherboard. VIA Hardware recommend the Santa Cruz soundcard instead of SB Live! Quote: I have a SB Live! and am experiencing problems - why should I get the Santa Cruz instead? If you own a SBLive! and are experiencing the following symptoms: - Sound crackling - DMA issues - Sporadic system hangs then you have a very good chance of alleviating these issues by changing your sound card to a Santa Cruz. http://www.viahardware.com/scfaq.shtm Share this post Link to post
ahearnb 0 Posted May 3, 2001 but i don't have a VIA chipset. right? Brad Share this post Link to post
whoisurdaddy 0 Posted May 4, 2001 I don't have any problems with SB Live! in Win2k. May be because I have Intel Chipset. My system spec: Abit SA6R (Intel 815e chipset) PIII-933 PC-133 512mb Geforce2 GTS SB Live! X-Gamer Share this post Link to post
