I just got my 1.0G Athlon T-Bird running today!!! :) I'm happy as hell now that I can run GPL with EVERYTHING maxed out and all the high end graphics installed and still get 36fps at the back of the grid with 19 Ai at Monza!! WOOHOO!! Anyhow. I downloaded the N4 demo and installed it. I have it set to run D3D, 640x480 at 16 colors. If I run this with the 3D sounds I can run and run and run but all I get are the extra sounds. IE crashing, skidding, ect.. But I don't get the engine sound. Running it without the 3D sound I get the engine and all others but N4 freezes or drops me back to the desk top (I guess depends on how it feels at the time). 1.0G Athlon T-Bird Creative V5 w/64 Meg ram SBlive nothing in the sys tray. GPL runs fine maxed out. any suggestions comments?
There are problems with the sound in the N4 demo that I've heard and experienced so whatever problem you're having will likely be fixed for the final version of N4. You might try increasing the max simultaneous sounds option I have the SB Live Value and it works fine except that when I hit a wall the engine noise stops for a second or two. This only happens in the N4 demo.
