So I've been troubleshooting this game for a while now, trying different mss32.dll fixes for other games, like the following:

https://community.pcgamingwiki.com/files/file … cer-dsound-fix/

https://www.gtagarage.com/mods/show.php?id=27928

... but it seems like the specific mss32.dll that's used for the game needs to be rewritten, unless I finally find a fixed version that's the same.

For reference I'm running the NOLF revival version which means no registry entries, I can't try something like Creative ALchemy pointing to the registry since there aren't any entries.

I've even tried replacing the Miles Sound System libraries with the same version as the one for GTA III (which is v6.1a) in combination with the fix, but the DSOAL log file reads no EAX or DS3D calls.

Is someone able to rewrite the mss32 file that's used for NOLF, or has anyone found another way to get it to work?

Thank you for your time.
