Wonderful. Thanks again, Joseph. I decided to order a mono 3.5mm to RCA cable. Should have everything up and running next week.

What kind of miniplug connector are you connecting to your soundcard? The manual contains contradictory info. On one page is says to use a 3.5mm mono minijack to RCA for the digital out, while a later page says to use a "4-pole" 3.5mm mini to RCA. I'm assuming I need to use a mono minijack …

Hey that's great. I appreciate the response, Joseph. What about volume levels in your OS? I'm using Windows XP - so for optimal sound quality, would the windows volume setting need to be 100% for digital output? I've read that there's clipping or distortion that can occur at higher Windows volume …
Audigy 2 ZS - EAX Stereo possible via digital output?
Posted on 2024-03-06, 23:29
I apologize if this is a stupid question, but I'm seeing a lot of conflicting info online regarding this. I want to connect my Audigy 2 ZS to an external DAC via it's digital output. Question is, will I lose hardware acceleration and EAX in doing so? Or is EAX simply passed through the digital out, …
Re: Far Cry (2004): Foggy level
Posted on 2024-01-13, 00:05
Why do you want to fix the problem yourself with a hex editor when there is already a patch available that fixes the problem? Sounds a bit counter intuitive. Probably because patch 1.4 breaks the enemy AI, allowing them to see through certain models like tents. I'm curious though - what causes this …

I take back what I said about 1.1.0.4 being the ideal version. I spent so much time testing different areas that I didn't bother starting a fresh game until last night. Turns out, weird placeholder text appears on-screen during the intro tram ride. As you go through you see "OPENTITLE2", "OPENTITLE3 …

Highly unlikely that the CD is the problem. Another user here informed me that patch 1.1.0.0 was a major update to the engine, so I assume the changes affected the logic of those instances where the issue occurs. I did manage to find one post elsewhere on the internet by someone who had experienced …

God Of Gaming wrote on 2023-07-20, 08:11: btw did you raise the max fps to 100? I didn't mess with the framerate during my testing, so I believe it was running at a solid 72 FPS on 1.0.0.5 thru 1.0.1.6. Was the FPS limit changed to 100 starting at 1.1.0.0? Maybe that's what corrected the issue on …

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uKkJPFmDW9Q This comparison shows the gist of it. Version 1.0.0.5 to 1.0.1.6 has everything working correctly, the bugs this vid shows off got added after 1.1.0.0 and are still present in latest steam update I recently tested every version of the WON retail game and …

I don't think so. I believe that's to make the weapons sound less monotonous.
Re: Win9x: is there any battery notification?

Is the laptop plugged in or are you actually running off the battery? The icon probably won't appear unless the computer's using the battery.

There's an option to show the power meter icon. Should be in power management.

Completely forgot to follow up on this one. Replacing the existing Bink dll in the Morrowind directory with Bink version 1.5y completely fixed the issue. Thanks, DosFreak!

why 63hz? sources like the old tweakguides page state the game's ticrate is capped to 60fps. as far as i remember the game played fine with a 60fps cap in afterburner/RTSS, i don't know what version of that will still run on XP though. internal framecaps or even just vsync are usually a lot less …

I haven't tried any ports yet - I'll start looking into it. Though, I did read on PCGamingWiki that the timing issues are still present using dhewm.

After some more research and testing, I've come to the conclusion that is not possible to have both smooth gameplay and physics/audio in sync. It's either one or the other as all "fixes" for the stutter put the audio/physics out of sync. Apparently, this affects all Id Tech 4 games (Quake 4, Prey, …

I've installed Doom 3 (with patch 1.1) on a Core 2 Quad, GTX 580, 4GB RAM, Windows XP machine and I've run into two major issues: - I cannot enable the 'Ultra' quality setting . It seems as though the game cannot detect my graphics card and is defaulting to low settings. I figure I can make a config …
