Hello everyone, this is going to be a long post. I seem to be suffering from these two major problems that i have not encountered before, and i was hoping i could get some help.
Let me begin by saying, I decided to reinstall Freespace 2 GOTY Edition for the second time this year because of the modification Blue Planet: Age of Aquarius Director's Cut and it's recent 2nd, War in heaven. This will be important later on.
Instead of using a an-powerful launcher which downloaded several mods along with FS-Open, because i do not remember the name of it, I downloaded the 3.6.12.Final Exes and go from there.
Now, as soon as the game accesses any voice work outside of the of the game (Briefings with videos, in other words), half way through, it stutters and seconds later, it cuts the sound and music altogether. At first i thought it was the cutscenes due to heavy CD wear affecting the install, because i have had this problem before playing retail several years ago, but even the voicework from the modification stutters when the Monologues without cameras play halfway through.
So far the only options that are available to me (as far as i know) is to change the sound from Generic software to my Sound card on the launcher (which i have done before in other old games, producing rather disastrous ear-deafening results) and perhaps downloading the .ogg cutscenes provided in the thread below this one. Which i will try now.
If this would solve the first problem, i would still have a problem with the second. There is also a specific mission in a Nebula on the Blue Planet modification, where as soon as i am at least 2000m away from a group of Nahema bombers attacking the sanctuary, the game completely freezes up, resulting in a message similar to what you see on a memory dump.
I appreciate any and all advice, and i hope to hearing from any of you who may or may not have suffered from this, and have dealt with the problem.
