Sounds Bug (battle)
« on: November 23, 2012, 08:26:38 PM »

Whenever I'm in a particularly long battle,  I find that the gun, impact, and explosion sounds repeat themselves over and over again rapidly, as if the sound lags.  Is this because of my sound card?

Can anyone comment on whether they're seeing this? Offhand, I can't think of a change from the previous version that would cause this - as far as I remember, the sound code is pretty much untouched.

How long the battle needs to be? If the PC have integrated sound card possibly its CPU-bound problem.

I have it all the time no matter how long the battle is, but it freezes more the longer it progress.

Hey guys, thanks for the report.

For those of you experiencing the problem, can you post your sound card hardware specs in this thread? Manufacturer, product and driver version should do


Thank you in advance for any information you can relay to us.


P.S. The easiest way to get this info in Windows is to use the dxdiag utility:

  • Click Start button.
  • Click Run.
  • In the box type "dxdiag" (without the quotes)
  • Hit Enter or click OK.
  • Go to the sound tab, it has the relevant info.

The game was completed 8 years ago and we get a free expansion every year.

Arranging holidays in an embrace with the Starsector is priceless.

@Gothars: What do you mean by "back"  ;D


@The Soldier: Thanks I am looking at this now. To be honest I have absolutely no idea what could be wrong at the moment. Any further details regarding when/how the bug occurs could be useful too.... I appreciate your patience.
