Well I got F1 last week and I installed it. When I went to play the game it
kept crashing during the menus saying general protection fault error or
invalid page fault with WAVX2bvr.dll Then I posted a question here about it
and a guy told me to change this line in the snd_cpa file in the CPA/DLL
folder to this setting:
[DLL_Sxd]
Default=WAVX2 (which is WAVX2bvr.dll)
to
WAVPW (Which is WAVPWbvr.dll)
I did this and the game worked fine for several days except for lots of
sound stuttering and disk caching. Then I downloaded the latest patches for
the sound and EXE and the game ran like crap. The framerate
(slideshow)sucked when it tried to use the WAVD3 which is a DirectX 3d sound
file. I have a MonsterSound 3d card so I though it would work. Anyway, I
changed it back to the WAVPW and the game ran fine again but with lots of
sound stuttering and some disk caching. Then all of a sudden the game
crashed with a invalid page error claiming that the WAVPW file cause a stack
dump. Ever since then I cannot play F1 without it consistently crashing
within a few minutes of playing.
I have all the latest drivers for my Monster 3D, MonsterSound 3D, SB AWE32.
Also, I have a P5200 with 64Mb of EDO. SuperMicro P5STE motherboard with 512
cache.
What the hell is going on????? This game is going back unless I can figure
this out in a few days. I really loved this sim when it briefly worked. I
do not want to return it but this shit is driving me crazy. Someone has to
have an answer.......maybe? ;)
