GPL demo: carbled sounds! HELP!

Hi, My system is as follows: P2/300 with 440LX chip set (MSI-6111 motherboard) 64MB SDRAM Matrox Millennium II w/ 4BM WRAM Flash3D Voodoo card SB AWE32 (non-PnP) ie. pretty basic stuff. Operating system used is Win98 Release Candidate 0. My system works fine in other 3Dfx based games like Uprising, Ultimate Race Pro, N2 etc. I've tried to install the game now three times but the result is always the same: carbled sounds! They are worse than in my trusty old C64! I tried installing Creative drivers for Win95 instead of using the ones that came with Win98 to no avail. The game is unplayable! The sound (or .WAV) check during installation works, like any other sounds in my system. Please help! I'm dying to play this demo!! Best regards, Henrikki H?kk?nen

So far only GPL has been a problem with Win98 for me....oh well. Maybe Sierra will fix it... PAPA DOC Pierre PAPA DOC Legrand Infamous Pink Flamingo Pilot...

Same thing here, win98 build 1691. And this is the ONLY game or program or application or anything that has not run correctly under win98. BTW you can play the game by changing the sound values to 0 in the options.ini file, although there will be no sound.

From what I hear the rendition and 3dfx drivers don't work with it. Way to go MS!

Everything else that I have runs well on Win98 Beta....including all of my Voodoo Games... Glide, OpenGL and Direct 3d... Really feels like the way the Game talks to the soundcard may be the heart of the problem. PAPA DOC Pierre PAPA DOC Legrand Infamous Pink Flamingo Pilot...<G>

No, there are LOTS of them. Cheers! John

Hi! Does this matter? Why do all my other games run perfect, but gpl doesn't? I know it's a demo, but the other games were written way before win98...... Some of my games: NBA'97&'98, NHL'97&'98, Fifa '98 indycar2(cart2), nascar1 F1 Racing Simulation Toca Touring Car etc,etc Evrything is legal including the win98 bets :-) Bart! > > Is there only one version of the Win98 beta in circulation? > No, there are LOTS of them. > Cheers! > John

Well you might want to consider what the Beta in Beta versions of software means. First, its not complete and changes are to come. Second, its not complete and changes are to come. Third, its not complete, changes, additions, fixes, driver updates, etc. are all to come. Fourth, developers use betas to get everything in order for when the certified release is released because, the Beta is not complete, changes are to be made and are to come.

And the final reason is keep trying hard, don't listen to the people who say that cpr is not possible to play on win98 beta. That is bs..., I have ran it in the very un stable version build 1650, and yet it works. And I am getting build 1721.2, and it's only gonna work better and better. If you try hard enough, and look for the two minor glitched files in the windows directory, your in a delieghtfull suprise.
