Monolith: Get a Clue!

Bires · 01-31-2003, 07:06 PM

I just got NOLF2 after loving the first one, I finally got around to buying the second.
I installed it, ran the patch...AND NO SPEECH!!

Upon checking the web site, I found this:

Quote:

If some sounds and speech are still missing after installing this update, then please follow these steps to correct the problem:

1. If you have installed the Nimo Codec pack or any other 3rd party codec pack, uninstall it and the game, and then re-install the game.

2. In your Windows\System folder (or Winnt\System32 if using Windows 2000 or XP), delete the "l3codeca.acm" file. If there's another file named "l3codecp.acm", delete this too.

3. If using Windows 98 or ME, open the system.ini file in your Windows\system folder, find the section labeled [drivers32], and delete ONLY the line that starts with "msacm.l3acm=". In the case of the Nimo codec pack, this will read "msacm.l3acm=l3codecp.acm"

4. If using Windows 2000 or XP, open the system registry editor (regedit) and delete the following key:* "Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Drivers32\msacm.l3acm"

5. From your main Nolf2 installation folder, double click on the file named "WMFADist.exe" and follow on-screen instructions.

*If you are not familiar or comfortable with modifying the contents of the system registry, then please ask a qualified person for assistance.

So...Monolith can't tell its own programs what MP3 codec to use?!? How many games do we currently play that use MP3 audio, and have no problem with other codecs being installed?

It's a pretty cool game, though. Pretty good A.I. and awesome graphics...

Ya...the five minutes I've been playing look fun...but it took me >30 minutes to uninstall the codecs, uninstall the program, delete the applicable files, and reinstall the program. UNACCEPTABLE!

Oh well.

There is one other thing that is wierd. There doesn't appear to be any pixel blending at all. I have all the graphics options turned up to maximum, but it doesn't seem to do any anti-aliasing or ani-filtering. I don't like having to turn on FSAA for one program-better when the program does it on its own.
