To Creative: Audigy LS has major issues with Tomb Raider Lege

Hi,
I tried playing Tomb Raider Legend and turns out
that the Audigy LS card can't play audio properly in this game..
The sounds cracks, booms, buzzes and produces hiss etc.
Honestly it makes my ears bleed if I listen to it for too long.
At first I thought this was only a problem with my card, since I didn't
find anything related to this issue here at creative boards, but turns out
many other forums (several French and German boards)
got ppl complaining about this problem.
Also the 24-bit Li've! card seems to have issues with TR:Legend so that makes me think
the drivers are inadequate since both of these cards share same drivers.
AC97 works for now, but changing back and forth between audigy card and
on-board AC97 is quite tedious process to do just to play this one game.
Dear Creative team,
please respond and introduce a fix to this problem.Message Edited by Anvirol on 04-07-2006 07:06 PM

Squeal Of Death does occur in Tomb Raider Legend. I've finished the game and it happened to me 3 times forcing me to reboot the computer. It even occured while I was in the menu.
But this is not uncommon for my computer though. I used to have many probs with my audigy2 zs while playing games like wow, mohpa and especially bf2.
The point is Squeal of death DOES occur to X-Fi models also, which I currently own after selling my audigy2 zs. Bf2 doesn't lock up anymore (at least for now) and I thought that the problem was gone until I played Tomb Raider Legend.
So if u ask me creative cards are to blame for the prob but only partly though. The squeal and lock up of the pc used to occur more often when I had audigy2 zs. Now it only occurs in TR Legend-for the time being. And of course bf giving away my old card I had tried all possible sollutions.
My specs are
Athlon64 3000+
MSI K8N2 Platinum
2*52 Kingston value Ram
2*80GB Seagate Raid 0

Tomb Raider Definitive Edition - Xbox One

I live in Richmond, VA and I have been trying to find copies of Tomb Raider: Definitive Edition for the Xbox One. Every store I went to says that they don't have the game in stock and don't have any info on if they will ever get a copy.
Today they found a single copy for me at a store that's more than an hour away (Virginia Beach). Is this expected?
I was just a bit offput because I wanted to buy the game and the employees in the stores seemed confused that they would not get copies of a new game.

Hello masenkablast,
Tomb Raider Definitive Edition has been pretty popular since it was released two weeks ago. It can be difficult to say precisely when stores will get new shipments of certain titles and I apologize if your closest stores don’t currently have any.
One thing to keep in mind is that there are two SKUs for the Xbox One version. The first one, SKU 3201119, was initially only available for pre-order and I don’t expect stores to receive more. The second, SKU 3098037, should be replenished at stores, it’s just hard to say when the Richmond, VA area will get more. While it may not be available in your nearest store right now, it looks like there is the ship-to-store option to have one sent there specifically for you.
Hopefully you’re able to get a copy soon, and please feel free to let me know if you have any additional questions.
Sincerely,

Tomb Raider in Arabic.

Hi bought the digital version of Tomb Raider definitive edition and working fine up until last week when the main menu has changed to a different lanuage. Appears yo be Arabic! Any suggestions appreciated.

If you pay attention to the clothes Lara is wearing in each game, it's easy to know the correct order storywise. Remember that flashback Lara had in Tomb Raider Legend, when she was in Peru? The flashback of when she went on that expedition with Amanda and a group of other fellow archeologists? Well, if you look at her outfit in the flashback, it is identical to the one she is wearing in Anniversary, but because she doesn't have any guns, it's safe to assume that the events portrayed in said flashback predate the events from Tomb Raider Anniversary, but, because she is still wearing in Tomb Raider Anniversary the same outfit she was in the events of the flashback, it is also safe to assume that Anniversary's timeline is also prior to the events from Tomb Raider Legend. Besides, Zip and Allister are not in Anniversary, so you can assume she only hired them later in Legend. And because their presence is continuous in Legend and Underworld, it would make no sense for Lara to get rid of them in Anniversary and rehire them in Underworld. Ergo, the correct order is Anniversary, then Legend, then Underworld. Happy gaming! Great advice, except OP is probably dead by now. He posted this back in 2012!Still to this day my favourite TR game is underworld. Such a great game.

Tomb Raider requirements

Hello Forum! I need help playing the new Tomb Raider game! The problem is, it appears that I don't have the system requirements. in short...
I have a mid 2009 macbook pro unibody
-Processor: 2.66GHz intel Core 2 Duo
-Memory: 4 GB 1067 MHz DDR3
-Graphics: NVIDIA GeForce 9400M 256 MB
-OSX 10.9.4
-A storage drive upgrade to a 1TB hybrid SATA disk
The problem is this... The graphics card is not up to the games requirements, which is 512 MB. I have found a card at iFixit, which is a Dual Graphics:
A bump up to 2.8 GHZ processor
AND
the dual graphics cards:
NVIDIA GeForce 9400M
NVIDIA GeForce 9600M GT with 512 MB of GDDR3 VRAM
There is one more problem: The game says it doesn't support the NVIDIA 9000 series card!!!! AAAARRRRRGGGGHHHH!!!!!!!
Is there any way I can make this work. I haven't bought the game or any other upgrades.... yet. I don't want to blow money on something worthless. I plan on upgrading the RAM and have no problem upgrading my logic board, or anything else. Is there a way to get a different graphics chip/card to go on the board? How can I make this work!!!!?????
Thank you all so much for your help.

PS4 News RISE OF THE TOMB RAIDER PS4

Good Evening Folks, Your weekly update on everything Playstation - Check it out https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o1yV01PMsCg

Am no Tomb Raider fan but things like this is really annoying. Things like timed exclusives and exclusive DLC needs to stop. Can't say Sony are doing things like this though. Xbox players won't get to play Shenmue 3 even thought Shenmue 2 was on Xbox and not PlayStation. Also Final Fantasy World and 7 Remaster may not be coming to the Xbox One. If it does they will have to wait for a good amount of time just like Tomb Raider fans on PS4. Absolute no one wins when it comes to timed exclusive games. I can't see this game selling millions of XB1 consoles. By the time it hit's PS4 unless it launches as a PS+ free title anyone who wanted to play it most likely would of. So SE would of missed out on some sales.

If I get windows boot camp will I be able to play Tomb raider and Sims 3

I an getting a new laptop for school but I also what to play games like that new Lara Croft and the sims 3. I have heard about windows boot camp.
I think I want this retina model
5-inch: 2.3GHz
with Retina display
2.3GHz quad-core Intel Core i7
Turbo Boost up to 3.3GHz
8GB 1600MHz memory
256GB flash storage1
Intel HD Graphics 4000
NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M with 1GB of GDDR5 memory
Built-in battery (7 hours

Windows Boot Camp does not exist, you mean Boot Camp Assistant, which is a Mac program, it is the program you would use to prepare your Mac to run Windows.
You will need a 64bit retail or OEM version of Windows Home or Professional.
You will also need to read the Boot Camp Documentation thoroughly, and make a complete backup of your machine before repartitioning.

HP Envy 15-j075nr - Issues with gaming performance (slow-motion gaming)

SPECS:
Display: 15.6" diagonal HD BrightView LED-backlit display (1366 x 768)
Memory: 8GB installed memory
Hard drive: 750GB 5400RPM hard drive with HP ProtectSmart Hard Drive Protection
Processor: AMD Elite Quad-Core A10-5750M Accelerated Processor
Operating system:Windows 8
Graphics card: AMD Radeon HD 8650G graphics with up to 4204MB total graphics memory
Running on the exact specs above, I'm playing games via Steam (Tomb Raider, Saints Row IV, Dishonored, etc) and have had to compromise video/display quality settings just to get the games to play correctly. Most games have an auto-detect feature for display and audio settings and in each instance the games are set to Ultra or High settings. But when I begin to the play the games with the default settings that games are extremely slow, though the graphics look great.
Given the specs above and the fact that the games auto detect at the highest or near to the highest settings, might I have an issue with my current system settings that I could tweak in order to get a higher quality gaming experience? I feel like these settings are definitely good enough to get at least HIGH display quality, but that has yet to work.

Hi @trickster878
I understand you are having performance issues with games on your notebook computer, but really notebook computers for the most part are not intended to be gaming machines. Their design focus is more to be light weight and portable while also providing the ability to run for two hours or more without a power connection when fully charged.
Many of the things that make for a good gaming machine are sacrificed in a notebook. All that being said, it is possible to play many games on notebooks, but rarely as well as it would work on a desktop computer.
It is likely that you can tweak the settings to get a compromise that is more playable, but it is often a robbing Peter to pay Paul situation. Something may have to be sacrificed.
You can take a look at these pages and see if anything helps.
Computer Locks Up or Freezes When Playing a Game

Otherwise, you would probably need to look at the video settings in each of the games you are trying to play. The settings will need to be customized for each of them, and you may have to look at the pages/forums for the individual game to see which setting may have to be changed internal to that game.

Overclocking Guide

Overclocking Guide
Disclaimer: Overclock at your own risk!
Data and information provided in this guide are for informational and educational purposes only, and are not intended for trading purposes. Neither MSI nor any of this thread’s authors shall be liable for any errors or delays in the content or be held responsible for any damage caused by modifying or overclocking your computer. Manufacturers may or may not honor the warranty on any overclocked or modified computer components. Perform any modifications to your systems at your own risk.
Why Overclock?
Today, overclocking is not any secret. It has become more popular and almost become an addiction to some people. The definition of Overclocking is simple: it means operating an Integrated Circuit beyond its specified clock speed.
But why overclock? Some people say to get more out for the same money. “It’s there; why not get more out of it?” However, the best business reason for overclocking is that it can make “out of date” equipments useful again. If the equipment is already out of warranty, the risk is very limited. (I personally suggest any beginners to overclock any out of date PC first just to have some first time experience.)
Know more about the Central Processing Unit (CPU)
Processor speed is based on two factors. The first is the interface between the motherboard and the front side bus (FSB). From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page (Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia), FSB is the speed at which the CPU communicates with RAM (memory). Many system components - including the PCI and AGP buses usually run at speeds derived from the frontside bus' speed. In general, a faster frontside bus means higher processing speeds and a faster computer. The other factor controlling a CPU's speed is the clock multiplier. It defines the ratio of processor speed to the FSB.
The FSB on new processors ranges from 400 MHz to 800 MHz. These are not straight clock speeds but instead they are quad-clocked speeds. These processors actually transmit data four times per clock cycle, for example, 800 MHz FSB is actually four times the 200MHz clock (200 MHz x 4 = 800 MHz).
The core speed of the CPU is the product of the front side bus clock and the multiplier. A processor running at 3600MHz (i.e. 3.6 GHz) might be having 800 MHz FSB, this means there is a clock multiplier setting of 4, and thus the CPU is set to run at 4 times the MHz speed of the front side bus.
But we said earlier that they are quad-clocked speeds, so 3600 MHz actually came from 18 times 200 MHz (200 MHz x 18 = 3600 MHz).
Please note that not all processors have quad-clocked speed FSB. For example, the Intel Pentium 4 (Northwood core) has quad-clocked speed FSB. But for example, the Intel Pentium III, AMD Athlon XP and AMD Duron have dual-clocked speed FSB only.
To know more, please read:
http://www.anandtech.com/cpuchipsets/showdoc.aspx?i=2178
Let’s lock the clock multiplier
Few years ago, you could overclock processors by choosing a higher multiplier. This option was eliminated in order to fight CPU remarking. Counterfeit processors have regularly appeared in the market, as the CPU speed was only defined by your setting. Nowadays, the restriction to only one multiplier is both of overclocking and counterfeit prevention.
As you can see, the only way of overclocking today is choosing a higher front side bus clock and the offer of small increments e.g. 1MHz in today's motherboards give us a great advantage in overclocking.
However, some CPUs nowadays are still unlocked, for example, the AMD Athlon MP and AMD Athlon64 families. And some motherboard companies offer the chance to unlock the Pentium 4 (Socket 775 CPUs only) overclocking potential by using special bios, for more please read:
http://www20.tomshardware.com/motherboard/20040916/index.html
Look at your motherboard
Before you overclock anything, have a look if your motherboard can overclock CPU. Look at the CPU installation section in the motherboard manual. Normally you will find either BIOS setup options or jumpers on the motherboard that allow you to adjust the FSB, CPU voltage, PCI/AGP ratio etc.
If you have a computer that came from a major manufacturer like HP, it is likely that your motherboard does not provide any overclocking function although it is very rare nowadays.
You need more Power!
This is also the time to check the power supply in your computer. Like a car, speed requires power, and unstable power inevitably leads to unstable processors, so I would recommend the power supply has to be at least 350 Watts. You can find six power supply guides in this forum below:
A Power Supply Guide
AND
Powersupplies(Written by Bas)
AND
Choosing The Right Power Supply
AND
Powersupply calculation....
AND
http://www.extremeoverclocking.com/articles/guides/Power_Supply_Guide_1.html
Both Intel and AMD processors are power hungry, consuming 40 to 100 watts (e.g. the new Prescott) of power. Also, your graphics card may take another 55 watts of power. Now you are consuming more than 100 watts of power for merely two components in your system.
You can also voltmod your Power Supply Unit, for more please read:
http://www.xbitlabs.com/articles/other/display/psu-voltmodding.html
Using higher voltages
Today, almost each processor can be run faster than the speed it was labeled for. This applies even more if you raise the core voltage a little bit. This is just like a car running at higher speed requires more power. But this is one of the “riskiest” aspects of overclocking - by using too much power you could burn your CPU. You should always raise the voltage step by step and never go higher than 15% beyond the specification. This way it is quite easy to get a faster system without risking the processor. Apart from raising the voltage of the CPU, similarly you can raise the voltage of memory as well. One problem is of course the increasing chip temperature, so cooling is very important. We will cover that later.
Memory Speed
Memory speed is often tied to the FSB. For example, a Double Data Rate (DDR) 400 memory has frequency 200MHz and the module rating is PC3200. Half the performance increase you may see from overclocking a CPU comes from increasing the speed at which the processor can talk to the memory.
When you buy memory, you may see it has label 2-3-3-7-1T. And you may also hear people saying my memory is a 2-3-3-7 one. But what does it mean? The answer is:
CAS Latency = 2 clock cycles
tRCD = RAS to CAS delay = 3 clock cycles
tRP = RAS Precharge = 3 clock cycles
tRAS = Active to Precharge = 7 clock cycles
Command Rate = 1 clock cycle
Different motherboards may call the above differently and not all of them will appear in the BIOS. You may need to check with your motherboard’s support team and the motherboard manual. If you have any option above in your BIOS, you can also start to adjust them. Obviously, the smaller the number the faster the memory will be.

Video Card
To overclock video card, we need a third party utility to overclock the card. Although increasing numbers of manufacturers include utilities to allow customers to overclock their cards in their drivers or through an extra application, most of them do not provide this facility. Simply because overclocking stresses the system and voids manufacturer warranties. Third party utilities tend to be universal that they work on different cards irrespective of manufacturers.

Get the temperature down
Cooling is probably the most important aspect of overclocking. Overclocking causes circuits to cycle faster, generating more heat. If the CPU is not cooled properly, your CPU will not run reliably and there is a very good chance that you will permanently damage your CPU.
The heat sink and fan unit that Intel and AMD ship with its CPU are fairy good. However, for maximum stability, we need to get something better than that. For example, for CPU fans, we have Vantec Tornado, Thermaltake volcano 7+, CoolerMaster Aero 4 and Zalman CNPS7000A-AlCu etc.
Be sure that the cooling solution you choose is specifically designed for your processor. Improperly mounting a heat sink, using the wrong model can damage your processor.
Also, the airflow in the case is very important. If heat cannot escape the case, the CPU is still at risk. Thus, more case fans are needed apart from the power supply's exhaust fan. Tidying up the cables inside the case can help too. In addition, clearing the dust in the case by using canned compressed air can enhance the airflow but never use vacuum cleaner as it may generate electrostatic and harm the IC components.

http://www.antec-inc.com/pdf/article/info_DIYArticle_quiet_computing.html
Overclocking Process
Essentially, overclocking processors consists of increasing the FSB in the BIOS, booting the computer, and then testing for stability. You repeat the process until you identify the maximum stable speed.
In case your board offer 1 MHz-increments (which most of your boards do), you have the chance to find out the maximum clock speed by slowly closing in on the final limit MHz for MHz. Of course this cannot be done in an hour, but you will have to spend one or two days just playing with different clock speed settings. In the end you should have your CPU running at the highest possible core speed. The Most important thing to remember is that you must go Slowly!
Also, you can overclock the processor by using software although it may not be as effective as overclocking using the motherboard BIOS. Such software includes:
1. ClockGen
http://www.cpuid.com/
2. CPUFSB
http://mitglied.lycos.de/podien/
3. 8rdavcore
http://www.hasw.net/8rdavcore/
Here is a thread that talks about overclocking an Intel Pentium 4 2.4cGHz to 3.0GHz using Intel 865PE chipsets. (You may treat it as an example of overclocking.):
Best 865PE Overclock for 2.4C to 3.0+

http://www.3degs.net/
Bear in mind that if the processor is capable of a 20-percent or more speed increase say, it is unlikely that your video card or memory can have the same amount of increase. And the one thing that you must remember to do if you overclock the FSB is to Set (i.e. Lock) your AGP/PCI Buses, to as close to their Default Frequencies as Possible (to PCI bus at 33 MHz and the AGP port at 66 MHz for example), or you will most definitely experience problems across the whole board e.g. your graphics card, onboard sound and IDE channels may start giving you data and other errors.
Test for Stability and Benchmarking
The purpose of testing is to apply a heavy workload to every aspect of your system to ensure that there are no hidden problems and stability issue. You can do testing by using special testing suites, software and games. The aim of benchmarking is to measure the performance of your system. In overclocking, benchmarking can tell you how far the system’s performance has increased when you adjust certain settings.
For a test suite, you may try Winbench, which you can download from:

I tried to overclock my p4. 2,66ghz to 3.18ghz.
l increased the cpu fsb only since the multiplier is fixed at 20x.
l tried to change it but couldn´t.
l then increased my cpu voltage from 1.525v to 1.732v.
At 3.2ghz, the computer was on and restarts automatically, so l turned it to 3.18ghz.
does it mean the cpu will not overclock further or l need a new cooler?
I did not overclock anything except the fsb.
any help?
I have a 2.6C Northwood pentium 4 on an MSI 875P Neo2-FISR mobo. On air I'm able to get it to about 3.14Ghz stable. I don't believe it's a good idea to go past 1.6 for the voltage, from what I've read, voltage doesn't help too much with the northwoods.
I can overclock mine higher without any significant changes in temperatures, but the overclocks aren't stable and the system freezes up from time to time. I'm using Kingston HyperX PC4000 DDR, which can run at up to 500mhz, so I can do a 1:1 ratio on the overclock. I'm using a modular 500-watt power supply, Arctic Silver 5 and a huge honking Swiftech heatsink with an 80mm fan.

and the latest bios for my motherboard
(i googled this problem but found no fixes and the people who were able to fix it never posted how they fixed it.
i have a asus A8V motherboard..
how can i fix this problem

please help me fix this (ps i tried reducing the pci latency did not stop the noise in battlefield 2)Message Edited by inuyasha320 on 07-06-2006 02:26 PMMessage Edited by inuyasha320 on 07-06-2006 02:28 PMMessage Edited by inuyasha320 on 07-06-2006 03:2 PM

I'm haveing these problems when playing Aquanox 2 and Tomb Raider : Legend. It starts with a few 'click' sounds, goes on with stuttering and repeating some sounds very frequently and ends in serious game laggs. Curiously I don't have these problems at Oblivion or UT2k4.
I allready tried removeing the soundcard from the system and activating the onbaord sound-device, which at my Asus P5 supports 5. surround sound, too. I ran into the same malfunction. This seems to be a problem of Asus motherboards.
My System:
P4 3,400 Mh
2048 Mb DDR 2 Ram by G.E. I.L.
Gainward Nvidia Geforce FX 6800 GS
60 Gb Harddisk with 8Mb cache by 7200 rpm
So it's impossible that my System is infirior. I allready tried shutting down the HD expansion in the BIOS, but this only provided me a few minutes more, until the noise starts again.
I guess we'll have to turn our questions to ASUS.

Wenn noch fragen offen sind einfach fragen, ich würde gerne das Problem so schnell wie möglich lösen....

Ja wie gesagt es hat davor auch ohne Probleme Funktioniert nur war ich gezwungen das System neu zu Installieren und ab dann konnte ich die da oben genannten Updates nicht mehr Installieren. Ein Mac ist zwar eine schöne Sache kommt aber für mich nie in Frage da ich mein PC als Arbeitsrechner und Gamer Rechner nutze und das meiste läuft halt nicht auf einen Mac und man müsste manche Programme neu Kaufen, das sehe ich überhaupt nicht ein, und meine Anwendungen werden aus Prinzipien nicht für Apple Produkte entwickelt da verdient man kaum etwas... aber das muss jeder für sich entscheiden. An eine neue Version habe ich eventuell nächstes Jahr gedacht aber auch nur die CS6 ob man das brauch ist die Frage da CS 5 genau macht was es soll. Das Modell mit der Adobe Cloud hat zwar denn Vorteil das die Programme Aktuell sind aber man muss Monatlich dafür Zahlen und CS5/CS6 oder älter brauch man nur einmal Kaufen. Darüber hinaus finde ich eh das Adobe so eine richtige S*** ist wenn es um Support ältere Programme geht so zeigt Adobe meiner Meinung nach das Ihre Produkte nichts wert sind zumindest macht es den Anschein. Aber wie gesagt, bin ich hier um Hilfe zu bekommen um das Problem zu lösen ohne ein neue Version zu kaufen, das ist ja bekanntlich die einfachste Lösung, aber wenn Informatiker auch so denken würden dann würde es sehr schlecht aussehen... und als Anmerkung am Rande, es wäre ja nett wenn man mir denn Link dieser Updates zukommen lassen könnte um die Updates Manuell zu Installieren.
"Aber wie sollen wir denn Programme testen auf Hardware und OS, die es erst in ein paar Jahren geben wird."
Dies kann man in voraus natürlich nicht aber in nachhinein geht das und Software Entwickler denn etwas an Ihre Produkte liegt, machen das nachhinein auch und passen gegebenenfalls Ihr Produkt an.
PS: CS 2 läuft ebenfalls auf einem Windows 8.1 rechner ;-)
