Hi, im considering buying Glidos, but i have a few problems which need ironing out. I did get one answered on tombraideforums.com but i think the cure is related to the second problem.
1. I had control problems, which i hear is fairly common where the game thinks the left, or sometimes down key is being held down and this afflicts the menu and in game. Someone said i should delete HMISET.CFG file before i start playing the game.
2. Sound - i was getting the background sounds (ie the clink-clink-clink noises, ambient sounds i guess you call them) but i had no effects of shooting or running. I did use the glidos installer to patch TR and i think this may be the problem, because when it starts does it set sounds to soundblaster pro?
OK, heres how i think the problems are linked - i delete the hmiset.cfg thing, and then i have to run setup.exe to config my sound card (i use the sound blaster, 220, 1, 5 setting like you recommend and this does give me al sounds). However when i have run setup.exe it creates the file hmiset.cfg so that controls are messed up.
I am pretty puzzled because yesterday i managed to get TR fully working though glidos with all sounds, and good controls. I turned off my pc when i reached level 3, but when i went back to check if TR would still work (and to decide whether to pay for glidos) i had the problem of either getting messed controls, or no effects.
Im not really sure, but do you think that if i uninstall TR, then reinstall it and DONT use the installer on glidos site this will fix my sounds, as i can setup them to the way i need. Is there a way to get round control issues without deleting hmiset.cfg?
Thanks
