Snake Bitey

Well, okay. The drivers are fully updated. I tried playing with the sound hardware acceleration and turning the game sound off. No change in stability. So if 3d sound is not a problem for my hardware, my sound card is not the problem. I guess it's just one of those vague, unclassifiable problems specific to a certain system setup (namely mine). I'm so tired of getting games to work that I'll just pass on this one. A shame, too, because this looked like a really cool, deep game. Anyway, thanks for all your advice; this is one of the most helpful bb's I've encountered.

I used to be running those newest V3 drivers, even the beta, but the problem was present then, too. I'm on Win98 (1st edition I assume). Don't seem to be any IRQ problems, except some shared ones at the end of the list concerning IDE controllers. My big concern is the sound card. It's the same one that came with the original computer in '96---just a standard SB 16. I read that CM uses 3d sound, and there's no option to turn that off in the demo. If 3d sound was enabled, would my card (that doesn't do 3d sound) have problems, or just not work altogether? P.S. Thanks a lot for your time.

I don't know if this problem has been discussed a lot here, but every time i try to play the Combat Mission demo, it crashes frequently. Once I'm into the actual game, it always crashes to the desktop after a few seconds or minutes. Can anyone help? Thanks.
