Ascaron Entertainment says that buggy X-Fi drivers cause problems with new Sacred2 game. See Rea

Hi CL.
Ascaron has just released Sacred2 ( http://www.sacred2.com ) - an action RPG that uses OpenAL. Ascarons Readme.txt from Patch 2.0 says that graphical corruptions and crashes can occur if the OpenAL API is used in game.
They say we need to wait for updated drivers released by your company before OpenAL can be used with Sacred2 and X-Fi cards.
Is this correct? Are you aware of any problem?
Thx for any reply regarding the matter.

With the English demo of Sacred 2, the sound is fine as long as you do not select "OpenAL" in the options (which is off per default). Selecting OpenAL caused horrible screeching sound. This was tested on Vista x64 with the lastest release driver 2.8.4, I did not test with the current beta.
Regarding who's fault it is, I don't know.
Too bad few games using OpenAL, because it is hardware accelerated sound that should work in Vista. Seems most games are using some sort of softwarebased sound renderer today.

    Hello!
    I recently just downloaded the 'Waze' app as a backup for my Garmin. I've read a few reviews that seem to rant and rave about how good the GPS app is. It is community driven and maps are constantly being updated by users. Plus it has a few other fun stuff in it (something similar to Gasbuddy where you can owe prices on the map). But like the person above me said, there is lots of useful free GPS apps in the App Store.
    Oh and I may be wrong but I remember reading an article about Google being slower about updating its maps system--ie no turn by turn voice, which many people have had complaints about.
    Happy Searching!
    Ps - if you switch I wouldn't go to Blackberry.

  • HT1766 Why does my pc say that there is no drivers for my new Ipad Air. I did a backup this night from the two week old Ipad Air that I smashed the front?

    Why does my pc say that there is no drivers for my new Ipad Air. I did a backup this night from the two week old Ipad Air that I smashed the front?

    Drivers are iOS specific....meaning if your old one had iOS 7.0.6 and your new one 7.1 then it needs different drivers.
    Is your iTunes up do date? if not, then updating it may help.
    You can also try using a different usb cord and port to see if that triggers the driver download.
    or, if that doesn't work, try going into your control panel, add/remove programs. Look for 'apple mobile device service' and uninstall that. THen plug your iPad in and it should reinstall.
    If that doesn't work, go back into the control panel but uninstall iTunes, and apple mobile device service and apple application support, then redownload and reinstall iTunes and see if that gets your drivers fixed.
    Another way to do that is go right click on 'my computer' 'properties' and go to 'device manager'
    plug your iPad in and do you see it show up in the list? YOu may need to click some of those little plus signs to open up the lists. If you see your iPad, right click on the name and you should see an option to update the driver.

  • Please can anyone help me to download some apps for my iphone .. i am simply not able to log in to the itunes store , when i enter my apple id it says that it has not yet been used with the itunes store

    please can anyone help me to download some apps for my iphone .. i am simply not able to log in to the itunes store , when i enter my apple id it says that it has not yet been used with the itunes store

    Ok, you should generally only get this when you are converting your ID to an iTS account for the first time.
    Sign into iTunes with your Apple ID and you should get this.... IRC once you agree or accept it's now an iTS account and you wont get that again.

    I bought a new computer and I cannot transfer my library to this new one. The message says that I'm not allowed to sync with two computers??? How can I delete the previous one from my account???

    You cannot transfer from the iPhone to the computer.
    You must move the contents of your old computer to the new one directly.
    Use an external hard drive perhaps or restore your old computer backup to your new computer.
    The iPhone is not the source of your data, that is the computer, the iPhone is only a slave device to iTunes.

  • I have deleted my library on my ipod by accident (how many people must say that). I have a smaller library with my laptop here in qatar, but can I re install my music from my pc at home in uk, from Qatar?

    I have deleted my library on my ipod by accident (how many people must say that). I have a smaller library with my laptop here in qatar, but can I re install my music from my pc at home in uk, from Qatar?

    " When I did this, my library showed all the music I have "purchased" from itunes but did not have the music that I downloaded a long time ago through itunes from my old CDs."
    Correct.
    " How can I get that music to show up in my library now on my new computer?  "
    Copy it from your old computer or your backup copy of your old computer.
    The sync is one way - computer to ipod.

           It's easy, but not that easy.  You need to copy all the info from the drive currently in the mac to the new  one before you install the new SSD.  You can do          this by downloading cloning software (I use CarbonCopyCloner because it's free)
    Not to be picky but CCC is donationware, if you use it because of its quality you should send a little bit of money in appreciation, and as a bonus you get to turn the banner off.

  • I need to download dell drivers to a jumpdrive connected to my iMac.  Will this cause problems with my Mac?

    I need to download dell drivers to a jumpdrive connected to my iMac.  Will this cause problems with my Mac?

    Thanks.  These drivers are for the audio, etc. for a dell laptop I purchased used.  ( Needed something cheap for a training video that would only run on Windows.  Tried Emedia player but picture was too fuzzy.)  Dell support said I should contact Apple support for instructions on how to get the drivers onto the jumpdrive.  Any tips on doing that?

  • I have two Iphones with different email addresses sharing one Apple ID. Will that cause problems with using messaging and FaceTime?

    I have two Iphones 5 with different email addresses sharing one Apple ID account.Both are using IOS 8.
    I would like to set up a new Apple Id for one of the phones and remove it from the old account.
    If I do that, can I move all of the purchased apps and songs to the new Apple account?
    Also, will sharing one Apple ID account with two devices cause problems with using messaging and FaceTime?

    Sharing an iCloud account between two devices can be done without causing issues with iMessage and FaceTime, just go into Settings for each of these functions and designate separate points of contact (i.e. phone number only, or phone number and unique email address).  While that works, you'll then face the problem where a phone call to one iPhone will ring both if on the same Wi-Fi network -- but again, that can be avoided by changing each phone's settings.
    Rather than do all that, don't fight it -- use separate IDs for iCloud.  You can still use a common ID for iTunes purchases (the ID for purchases and iCloud do not have to be the same) or you can use Family Sharing to share purchases from a primary Apple account.

  • When my hard drive died I lost my itunes library and now I'm being told that I can't synch my ipod with new songs unless I delete all existing because I can only have one library at a time

    when my hard drive died I lost my itunes library and now I'm being told that I can't synch my ipod with new songs unless I delete all existing because I can only have one library at a time

    Copy all the content on your iPod back to your PC and into iTunes. Then go ahead and sync the iPod with your new library.
    See this older post from another forum member Zevoneer covering the different methods and software available to assist you with the task of copying content from your iPod back to your PC and into iTunes.

    Java 6 you can't as Apple maintains it, and Java 7 you could if you uninstall it and Oracle provides the earlier version which they likely won't his last update fixed 37 remote exploits.
    Java broken some software here and there, all you'll have to do is wait for a update from the other parties.

    When trying to install a wireless printer, the WEP password says its incorrect. Is this a problem with the airport, my Internet provider or HP? I know the password is correct.

    Your AirPort Extreme supports WPA.
    WEP is outdated and considered fairly useless, so use WPA.
    Be sure you are using AirPort Utility  5.6. If you are not running Lion then use AirPort Utility 5.5.3.
    AirPort Utility 6.0 cannot administer 802.11b/g base stations.
