The Official ETW Hardware Problem Solving Thread

[Barkhorn1x]

Hey, thanks, you might have something there . Sound drivers are the only thing I haven't tried updating after installing ETW.

Sorry to pour cold water on the proceedings but I have had zero luck with any sound related changes. Since day one I have had horrible audio hanging/skipping with the intro. pieces and the cut scenes.

- I originally was using on board Realtec audio - d/l'd latest drivers from March and no change
- Someone stated that OB sound could be an issue
- So I installed a Turtle Beach Riviera card - same issues - and no recent drivers to try

My gut tells me that the bink.dll is still corrupt (an older one used to work better) and these are specific to each game we will have to wait for CA/Bink to address - if they get around to it.

Not really sure where to ask this, but is there any kind of fix for Radeon 4800 cards yet?To my knowledge the game presently does not work with them at all when a battle is loaded (you just get a lot of flashing light). I was not able to find any help about this on the ATI website so any help would be very appreciated.

For those of use with nVidia graphics cards, the instructions here may be helpful:

I tried them, and performance on my laptop picked up a bit. (The game bugs didn't go away, though.)

Battles play smoother for me. Good tip.
