N2: CD-Audio.

3 posts by 2 people · 23 Jun 1997 - 26 Jun 1997

I'm having trouble playing an Audio CD while playing N2. I run from Win95's "command prompt only" boot-up. When N2 loads it allways tries to run from the CD and that shuts off any CD that I have playing at the time. Do any of you have any idea of how to change this? Or am I just stuck with it?

I think it tries to run the intro from the cd. You can rem out the smackplay (or something like that) line from the N2.bat file and it won't try to play the intro, but still no guarantee on the rest of the game not checking the cd and killing your music. Actually, I think for multiplayer it does check to see if the N2 cd is installed (host must have cd inserted) at launch of the game. Anybody else have an idea? Kurt

I've done that and it still kills the CD-Audio. For some reason it will still check the CD right after it says "Running from drive C:". Seems odd to me.
