Stuck 'loading' if Use Hardware is set to ON

**soopytwist** · 05-04-2008, 03:49 PM

The game won't load if I turn on 'Use Hardware' in the sound settings. The 'Loading' message appears but stays there and nothing else happens either starting the game or the tutorial. Works fine if set to OFF. I've patched the game but can't get a newer sound card driver than the one I have. OpenAL is installed from the game disc.

Also on a related note, If 'Post Effects' is turned on in the video settings I get a lot of garbage on the screen and strange reflective textures tearing across the screen.

My specs:
Mobo: DFI Lanparty UT RDX200CF-DR
CPU: AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual Core 4800+ ~2.4Ghz
O/S: Windows XP Pro Service Pack 2 (Dual Core patched)
RAM: 2Gb OCZ Platinum PC3200 Dual Channel EL-DDR CAS2
HD: 160Gb SATA300 Western Digital WD1600JS Caviar SE
Drives: MSI 52x32x52 CD-RW & Pioneer DVD-RW DVR-112D
Graphics: Innovision3D Nvidia GeForce 8800GTS (driver version 169.21)
Sound: Creative Audigy2 'Value'

Could you post the contents of your hpl.log file? This should be located in "My documents\Penumbra\Black plague"

Well suddenly the Post Effects setting seems to work but still can't enable the hardware sound support.

The sound hardware thingy is probably a problem with the sound drivers, try updating them and if it still fails, then your sound card simply does not support sound hardware for OpenAL.

**Luis** · 05-04-2008, 08:57 PM

Sorry, I should have said that the hpl.log file I need is the one generated when the "freezing" happens. I can't tell what's going on otherwise. My bad Smile

. Could you try to turn on 'Use hardware' again and send that hpl.log?

By the way, with "I cant get newer drivers" you mean you already got the latest, right? As Thomas said, this stuff is most probably caused by drivers, but it's strange since you said your card is a Creative Audigy, and it should work. Let's see that hpl.log anyway Smile

**soopytwist** · 05-07-2008, 06:11 PM

Sorry, makes perfect sense to post the hlp.log 'with hardware on', silly me...BTW I have to hit the Windows key and 'close' the game from the taskbar when it gets stuck on the loading screen.

I can already see the entry: Setting up Environmental Audio...Failed.
may have something to do with the game not loading. As for the sound card driver, the one I have is the latest one that works with my 'value' (i.e cheap) version of the Audigy2. I tried to use a newer driver and it stopped XP Pro from booting while the sound card was installed (had to do a repair install of XP).

I've been playing the game without the EAX extension, hance the reason for the map on the last line of the log file.
