I have the realtek high def audio driver for Vista and I just looked at the audio for the Freespace Launcher, I set it to the generic speakers with realtek audio driver and I forgot that I had been playing with the sound settings in the realtek, yall wanna have some fun? get the realtek for your system, set it to sound like your under s sewer pipe, and run Freepsace with that audio as the one to use and try understanding anybody in the other ships LMAO.
It only took me 5 seconds to remember what I had the computer driver set at, it was real easy after Alpha 3 said bla, bla, boh bla LMAO

i have a problem with setup for the 3.6.12 build everytime i'm trying to start playing war in heaven  it's crushing in seconds.

how should i rectify this?

[The E]

Read the FSO FAQ.

Best guess, without an fs2_open.log provided by you, is a corrupted multi-mission-pack.vp. Delete it, then start the game again.

[wolfen]

Ariel listen to E he knows everything about what to do.

I collaborated with Swantz to upload fixed versions of the multi packs.  The installer should download un-corrupted files now.

Yay!

Will that work with Turey's installer, or do I need a different one?

[The E]

If we're talking about "the installer", we usually mean Turey's.

[wolfen]

That's good to know Thanks, cause I always keep a copy on Turey's installer on the hard drive in a folder called Freespace downloads
Especially since none of us ever know when I'm gonna crash the whole system

thanks goober i guess the installer is  a great way to setup the freespace2 2 open .
the name of the file iswxlauncher-0.80.exe?

[The E]

No. That's the wxLauncher, which is something completely different. The FSO Installer can be found here. Needs Java installed.

I don't know if this is the right place, but anyway...

Since I downloaded 3.6.12 and the mediaVPs, I've been experiencing issues with the audio. To put it simply, the various audio sounds (guns, beams, etc) are intermittent at best. When I first start the game, it's not very noticeable but as each new mission is played, the problem becomes more and more acute. You'll hear the sound of a single shot after about 10-20 silent shots, beams with no sound, music taking a while to load between each track, etc.

I first noticed this with Blue Planet 2, and again with the recently released Wings of Dawn campaign.

I'm also getting these issues whether I have the "pre-load sounds" button in the launcher ticked or not.

Again, I'm not sure if this is the correct place, but I'd be grateful for any advice as to what the issue is, as I've never had this problem with any previous versions or builds. 

Thanks.

Try setting the audio device to "Generic software" in the Launcher.

Try setting the audio device to "Generic software" in the Launcher.

It already appears to be on Generic Software. I suppose I can try the other settings.

Do you have open AL installed and update?

I use the realteck sound device for my computer but I have the generic software set for Freespace

I do have open AL installed, but I can't say I've updated it since I first got it, about 2-3 years ago. Worth a shot.

[The E]

Ariel's support issues split out and moved here.

[Turey]

Great release guys, looking forward to playing this again.

Hello, umm, I'm new here, and I'm having a problem with the mediavps file.

I've installed everything that was required(fs2 open 3.6.12., trackIR.dll, OpenAl, and ofcourse the retail version), as it says in the readme, and I've put the mediavps folder in my freespace 2  folder and the last step is to go to the launcher on the mod tab, and click ''Select Mod''.
Well, I've got the Launcher 5.5f and there's no such thing.
Here's a screenshot:

Did I miss a step?
P.S. I'm using Windows 7
