Spartan: music and battlefield zoom problems

[sfazekas]

Hi

I've had Spartan (German version) for about a year and it's run fine up until now. I 'upgraded' to Windows XP, and now the music won't play and I can't change camera angles or zoom in/out on battlefield scenes.

I have a Gateway Pentium III, 733 MHz with 256 RAM, an NVIDIA GeForce MX 440 graphics card and a Creative SoundBlaster Live! sound card. All drivers are the manufacturer's newest ones, designed for XP. I'm running Direct X 9.0 and have the Spartan v1017 (German) patch. Graphics acceleration is turned up to full and I only run the game on 2D (not 3D). Help and thanks.

Hi, zoom only works in 3D not in 2D.

We've not seen this problem with music before - check the volume in game is turned up & let me know.

It might be worth reinstalling the game to see if that fixes the problem too.

Cheers

Thanks Pip and Iain--you guys are amazingly fast. I reinstalled as you suggested and the music works fine. However, when I try to play in 3d mode it crashes to the desktop. Any ideas? Thanks again.

[IainMcNeil]

It might be that your drivers need to be updated?

When exactly does it crash?

[sfazekas]

Well, duh...I had graphics acceleration turned off. I turned it back up to full and it works like a champ.

Thanks again! I've had my share of experiences with tech support and you guys are hands down the fastest ever. Kudoes!

Excuse me, it's absolutely out of topic but I have to know...


Are you related to the hungarian discus thrower Fazekas....


...or Fazekas is a rather common surname????

Love the way he throws discus, great technique...but I heard he had some "problems" with the IAAF

[sfazekas]

Hi Duncan, I might be. 'Fazekas' is as common as Jones in Hungary. Cheers--SJF
