Steve C Posted February 7, 2003 Share Posted February 7, 2003 When I first got SC and after loading v1.06, everything ran great. I started PBEM this week and now I'm having problems: 1) Music works in initial menus, start a game, the mouse click sound works but none of the movement or battle sound effects work. 2) Sometimes music keeps playing, even after I quit the game. Reboot clears the latter problem but my sound effects are gone. Also, I'm getting an occasional error message about version DirectX 7.0 when I have 8.0. Could my opponent's PBEM attachment have corrupted my game ? The v7.0 DirectX thing might be symptomatic of that if that is he has DirectX 7.0. What do you recommend to restore my sound effects ? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hubert Cater Posted February 8, 2003 Share Posted February 8, 2003 Even though you have DirectX 8 it will include all previous versions of DirectX as well. SC was written to take advantage of DirectX 7 so this may explain some of the DirectX 7 error messages you are getting but I would probably suggest uninstalling SC and then reinstalling from CD. Sounds as though perhaps some of your files or even the executable has become corrupted. Hope this helps, Hubert [ February 07, 2003, 05:56 PM: Message edited by: Hubert Cater ] 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve C Posted February 8, 2003 Author Share Posted February 8, 2003 Okay, I will do the uninstall / reinstall. Thanks, Hubert. Can I retain my saved games by moving them to a different directory, or will they be left intact in the SC folder and I don't need to do anything ? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hubert Cater Posted February 8, 2003 Share Posted February 8, 2003 The saved games should remain intact as new directories will not be removed by the uninstaller, but you might want to save a copy just in case Hubert 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve C Posted February 8, 2003 Author Share Posted February 8, 2003 Yes, the uninstall / re-install worked perfectly, and my files were intact. Thanks, Hubert. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
