Default Re: Warning: VISTA-SP1 and WinSP:WW2/MBT problems!

Helge

On the Game Options screen (if you can get there) - try setting Show Introduction = "No".

(if you cannot get to there, go into the /game data/Camogame.ini file and change the setting as follows, then try again:
Quote:

;Skip (0) or Show (1) the introductory splash movie
ShowIntro=0

If everything runs OK - then Vista SP1 seems to have borked DirectShow ?. If so, then sound may also become a problem with Vista SP1 as well..

We are only using DirectShow to splash up a timed JPEG (we could have used it for intro movies but decided not to bloat the package size up way back, for something 99.99% of end users would simply skip). However DirectShow is also the basis for the games sound system, as unlike DirectPlay, it handles MP3 (and other non-WAV) file playback.

DirectShow has been part of the Microsoft DirectXX system since before DirectX7, so it should be stable. Probably a(nother) driver issue with the new version of Vista?.


Cheers
Andy
