I recently downloaded MV_Effects and MV_Models, and now my game is freezing up midway. Everything freezes except the music of the game. The music plays on as normal, but the sound effects (Beams, Weapon shots, etc) loop continuously until I manage to shut off the game or turn off my computer.

I'm not getting any lag at all during the game, so I'm inclined to beleive this is not in fact a graphical problem. I tried running with a debug build, but I got the same error without any continued information.

I am running in OpenGL, at 1924X768X32. I'm using Sparky's hi-res pack, and have most of the graphical settings turned on. I'm using DirectSound, and a joystick.

I've never encountered this problem until I updated my mv_Effects and mv_Models. Any advice?

Technical Specs: Using build 20060323. Nvidia 7800 GT, 1.5g RAM, 2.0g Processor.

Make sure that you have OpenAL installed cos I think DirectSound is losing support. (In launcher you shouldn't have DirectSound devices but "Currently selected OpenAL Sound Device" and then normally "Generic Software").

(Look for OpenAL within this forum or google)

Ahh, okay. I installed OpenAL, but didn't know I had to modify the launcher. Ironically, I installed it about the same time I installed the new MV files, so this is probably it. Thanks mate, I'm gonna go test this now.

That's a pretty old build you're using there. As usual the advice is to upgrade to 3.6.9 RC 3 and try again.

After my origional post, that's the first thing I did, Karajorma, and now everything seems to be running fine. Thanks guys!
