Need help with sound files crashing my game

prader · #1 October 12th, 2001, 12:01 AM

I have installed the patch to ver 1.41 and the tdm modpack along with a few other races. The game works fine until I click on a message sent from another empire in the log. I'm pretty sure it's because the patch or mod took me from text only Messages to "voice" Messages and I don't have something installed correctly. Has anyone experienced this and more importantly, know how to fix it?

"Voice" Messages? What do you mean?

It's not whether you win or lose that counts: it's how much pain you inflict along the way.

I assume it's a "voice" of whatever empire is sending the message. To tell the truth I don't even know that it's supposed to be a voice, again, I just assumed. Anyway, the game (and computer) locks up when I click on message in the log to see what another empire had to say. Know how to fix it?

Here is a thread about a similar problem:

Don't know if it will help you, but it's worth a shot.

As for these "voice" Messages, if you are refering to an audio message, there are none in SEIV.

Thank you so much. Sorry about the late reply but a short trip developed into family night out. I'll try reinstalling again. Maybe without adding the patch.

You're welcome prader. Glad I could help. I never experienced any problems myself, I just remembered reading that thread a while back.
