Doom 3 + XFi + new driv

Did anyone play EAX4-patched Doom 3 with 2.5/2.8 X-Fi driver? I can play through the first level in EAX4 mode, but once the level is finished the game quits back to main menu with the "Error unloading data from OpenAL hardware buffer" message.

Hello All!
After responding to this thread, I noticed that a couple of posters do not list intel iMacs on the "what system do you have?" line below their message.
This being a Core Duo iMac Discussion Group, I simply assumed that everyone posting here had Intel machines. That error means some of the suggestions I made are not necessarily appropriate.
If you are running the new version of Doom on a non-Intel Mac, you may have problems with the software that are NOT inherent to the upgrade or the game.
The Doom Universal Binary patch recodes part of the game to take advantage of Intel-specific chip features that improve performance on those CPUs.
In addition (possibly most important), the patched version takes advantage of lookahead features in the ATI video cards on the new iMacs that may or may not be available on your system.
SO--if you don't have an intel CPU, OR if your video board cannot take advantage of the lookahead option, OR if you have too little RAM or video memory, OR if you have an older video card, OR if you have a below 1.5GHz CPU, OR if you have an older version of OS X, you will have problems running at higher resolutions or with all the features switched on.
OTOH-you can probably have fun at lower resolutions and fewer features, so all is not lost!

  • Time Machine restore to new drive not even starting

    I have a Macbook that came with Tiger. I upgraded a few months ago to Leopard and started using Time Machine - last time backed up about 10d ago.
    Internal hard drive crashed and I installed a new one. I don't have my original Leopard media so I borrowed from someone else, thus can't install Leopard but can boot the machine from the CD.
    When I go to utilities and select "restore from backup" (i.e. Time Machine) nothing, whatsoever, happens. It's as if I didn't even hit the button. I can see the contents of the TM disk so I know it's good. The new drive formatted fine too.
    Am I going to have to get my Leopard disks (which are 50 miles away, thus not handy) and do this in two steps (first get a working Leopard install, then try to restore from TM)?
    Thanks- really hoping that Time Machine is more than a backup placebo.

    I'm in the same situation as the original poster, the leopard DVD is at work, and on a Saturday my laptop crashed. I get this "Unable to load XIPanel_RestoreIntroduction nib file" error and I'd like to know if others have been able to:
    1) understand what this message is about, e.g. are there additional checks in the nib file or is it just not found?
    2) work around the issue one way or another.
    Apple making computers -- deterministic creatures of all, and not casinos I'm not fully satisfied with the idea that this is a gamble to work around the issue. Unless of course there is a list of "other issues" that's been published somewhere in which case I'll be grateful to not embark on a useless and ultimately doomed effort to get my mac to work.

  • Still no new driver .... ?????

    Pfff , been checking for the last 2 months EVERY day on the site and still no new driver for the X-fi cards ...
    Am I the only one who's being dri'ven to insanity with this ?
    WINDOWS 7 x64 DRIVER NOW PLZ !!!!

    i don't get it though...
    i mean, they are the biggest company on sound cards, right? they have personnel to work on drivers since they release them, don't they?
    so what's the reason of this? there are creative personnel looking in the forum and they MUST know that we are unpleased by the whole situation. are they not telling their bosses that we, the users, are unpleased? are the bosses cocky enough as to think "ooh, who gives a dam. it's their problems, not ours". or are the driver programmers not able to code and solve problems faster than........... this? i mean... are they typing a letter per day?
    ffs, asus releases drivers for their xonar faster and they are a company involved in so many different things. and realtech.. well, realtech releases drivers like what.. once a month?
    and let's not refer to the support attitude... ask away a question in the forums. the answer not only will fail, it's gonna be a lol answer too. something like "go and check the faq. read the sticky link" etc
    i really regret that i got me the x-fi titanium fatality pro i got. the sound is cracking more than all the buildings in Haiti together. there is a sound level up+down problem like someone's playing with the volume from say 55 to 56 and back on and on and on and on and on.. but hey, sometime it stops (it's called AI my friends ), asio drivers really suck, mic is on when changing modes and if you leave the volume high, you're doomed. and so many other problems all of us have.
    oh well, there's one thing i know. i never, ever gonna buy a creative product again. this is the last one for me. i just hope we have a new driver to clear out all bugs (LOL) and i'll stick with it until it dies. then, i'm gonna get a sound card that won't have anything to do with creative.
    anyways, sorry for the long a tiring reply guys.
    oh, and support group? hope you won't delete this reply. it took me some time to write (english isn't my mother tongue) thank you
    Cheers !!!

  • What does everyone think of the new driv

    Hey guys Unstable here,
    What is your experience with the newest Xfi drivers? Sound quality, buggs, performance?
    The new driver doesn't detect my card at all. But the older drivers did. WTF creative get your head in the game!

  • When is creative labs going to get to work on a new driv

    This sh|t is insane. All these complaints with xfi and vista 64, no new driver, not even a beta.
    Time to take the donuts out of your mouths and get to work. chop chop!

    Well there is one good thing that has come from all this and that is that almost every review you read of the new cards from other brands highlight everyones complaints about the total crap drivers and lack of communication from Creative. They are one step away from losing the total monopoly on PC sound. Without that, they would be out of business. Logitech kicks their ass in speakers/mice and now we just need someone to hit a homerun on the sound opportunity that Creative has given them. It's not like EAX 5.0 is worth a **bleep** anyway - only a few games support it and those are only ones where Creative has gone in and written it for the game, and paid for they splash logo. I turn off EAX in every game for stability. Gee, wonder why that's unstable too?

  • New Driv

    Are the new drivers for audigy2 cards that were released the begining of may contain the openAL enhancements found in the beta audigy2 drivers?

    you should learn how to read a info file:
    on each drivers update you can regularly read:
    "Enhances/improves the performance of PC games that use nati've OpenAL API extensions"
    basically, each drivers improves many things. The May drivers improves OpenAl, as the next ones, particularly on Battlefield2 it seems.
    on the new driver (beta) pack you can read :
    Provides full OpenAL / EAX ADVANCED HD support when used with the DOOM 3(tm) 3 .3 patch.
    next to the ,classical, enhances/improves openAL......
    So, NO the drivers from 2th May DOESN'T have the new support for OpenAL from the latest beta drivers pack; there are one release before : so NO full support for full openAL on doom3.Message Edited by Shingo-Y on 06-02-2005 05:00 AM

  • Hard drive crashed. How do I get OSX on my new drive?

    I think my hard drive crashed, oh my.  First, let me say that all my data is backed-up on a cloud drive or on my network drive.  So, I am good there.  The computer is now completely inoperable, can't start up, not even in safe mode. Just goes to Apple grey screen and then shuts down, that Issa far as I can get. Does not even play the start-up chime anymore.
    Question I have is this: I did not make a bootable start-up drive (dumb), so when I get a new drive to replace this, how will I get the OS on it to start- up and get the new drive ready?

    If you don't get a startup chime then you may have a worse problem. Just be prepared.
    What year is your MBP? From 2011 onward you would use Internet Recovery. Earlier you would need to install the original software that came with the computer on software restore DVDs.
    Internet Recovery
    Install Mavericks, Lion/Mountain Lion Using Internet Recovery
    Be sure you backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive because the following procedure will remove everything from the hard drive.
    Boot to the Internet Recovery HD:
    Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND-OPTION- R keys until a globe appears on the screen. Wait patiently - 15-20 minutes - until the Recovery main menu appears.
    Partition and Format the hard drive:
    1. Select Disk Utility from the main menu and click on the Continue button.
    2. After DU loads select your newly installed hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
    3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed. Quit DU and return to the main menu.
    Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion. Mavericks: Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion, Mavericks and click on the Install button. Be sure to select the correct drive to use if you have more than one.
    Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet
                if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.
    This should restore the version of OS X originally pre-installed on the computer.
    DVD Installation:
    Clean Install of Snow Leopard
    Be sure to make a backup first because the following procedure will erase
    the drive and everything on it.
         1. Boot the computer using the Snow Leopard Installer Disc or the Disc 1 that came
             with your computer.  Insert the disc into the optical drive and restart the computer.
             After the chime press and hold down the  "C" key.  Release the key when you see
             a small spinning gear appear below the dark gray Apple logo.
         2. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue
             button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu.
             After DU loads select the hard drive entry from the left side list (mfgr.'s ID and drive
             size.)  Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.  Set the number of
             partitions to one (1) from the Partitions drop down menu, click on Options button
             and select GUID, click on OK, then set the format type to MacOS Extended
             (Journaled, if supported), then click on the Apply button.
         3. When the formatting has completed quit DU and return to the installer.  Proceed
             with the OS X installation and follow the directions included with the installer.
         4. When the installation has completed your computer will Restart into the Setup
             Assistant. Be sure you configure your initial admin account with the exact same
             username and password that you used on your old drive. After you finish Setup
             Assistant will complete the installation after which you will be running a fresh
             install of OS X.  You can now begin the update process by opening Software
             Update and installing all recommended updates to bring your installation current.
    Download and install Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1.

  • How do I erase an older Western Digital 1TB mirrored hard drive? Newer drives can be erased via a WD Utility, but the WD site says to "ask Apple" about the older ones.

    I have a MacBook Pro with OSX 10.7.5.  The hard drive is approx. six years old - a Western Digital for Macs, mirrored with 1TB on each half. 
    Because the drive is "infected" with Time Machine backups that I can't erase, I have removed all important files from the drive and now want to wipe it clean.  I've done this with new drives, via the WD Utility that came with the drive, but the older drive doesn't have such a utility.  The WD site only has a protocol for PCs. 
    I find nothing on the Apple site itself.  Can you community members help??
    (I've tried various ways of deleting the Time Machine backups, but nothing has worked.  The instructions for that, which I read on a community support site, were too advanced for me to understand.  A Mac IT guy tried to erase the backups, but he didn't know how either.  So that is why I'm erasing the drive totally.  I've learned my lesson and have a dedicated Time Machine drive now.)

    Please be clear:
    This is a mirrored RAID that you use as the startup disk?
    You now have a different startup disk and wish to erase the RAID mirror?
    Do you wish to continue using the RAID for backup?
    If all you want to do is erase the RAID to get rid or the Time Machine backups, the use Disk Utility to erase the mirror disk mounted on the Desktop.

  • Disk utility reports "Device could not be opened" - error when trying to format a new drive in a Mac Pro 1,1

    MacPro 1,1 Quadcore 3 GHz (2006 "Woodcrest")
    32 GB RAM
    ATI Radeon HD 5770
    OS X 10.7.5 Lion
    I have encountered the following behavior when trying to format a new drive with disk utility. This description has also been send via the Mac Pro feedback as a bug report to Apple.
    On searching the web and forums with this particular error message and behaviour I could not find any usful results. So maybe the following description may be helpful for some users.
    Best regards.
    1. Drive Bay 1 contains the original 250 GB Startupdisk. It works without errors.
    2. Drive Bays 3 and 4 contain each a WD Caviar Black 2 TB SATA 3 HDD. They work without errors.
    3. I have purchased a third WD Caviar Black 2 TB HDD.
    4. In Drive Bay 2 there has been a Seagate 750 GB HDD, which worked in conjunction with all the other drives without error.
    5. I exchanged the Seagate HDD in Drive Bay 2 with the new WD Caviar Black 2 TB HDD.
    6. On starting the system, it will report to initialize the new drive.
    7. On trying to initialize the new drive with disk utility it reports the error [translated from German] "Erasing of the volume has failed. The device could not be opened."
    8. I thought that the drive is faulty. Thus I created an RMA-Case at WD. They exchanged the drive without problems.
    9. On getting the exchanged WD Caviar Black 2 TB drive I put it in Drive Bay 2 as before.
    10. On trying to erase and format the exchange drive I got the same error message "Drive could not be opened."
    10.1 On selecting the physical drive in the devices list, disk utility reports all information in the bottom area of its window as usual, e. g. hard disk description, connection bus, type and place, capacity, write status, SMART-status, partition scheme.
    10.1 On leaving that drive selected in the devices list and clicking the info-button, disk utility will also report additional information as usual, e. g. Name, Type, partition scheme, media-identification, media name, media type, device tree, … , number of relocated sectors, etc.. All this information appears to be valid, as can be compared to the other devices information inside the other Drive Bays. Also the disk numbering scheme appears to be standard - 4 HDDs give the numbering disk0, disk1, disk2, disk3.
    10.2 From that information I conclude that the SATA-bus and connectors electrically work properly, the drive has spun up and can be accessed by the system normally.
    11. I powered down the computer, took out the HDDs from Drive Bays 3 and 4 and put the caddy with the new exchange drive in Drive Bay 4 [Maybe, I could have also just left it alone in Drive Bay 2, or 3].
    12. After powering on the system, disk utility will quick format the exchange drive without any error message. Also, when erasing again by selecting the option to write zeros to the drive, disk utility will finish without error.
    13. After disk utility finished formatting, I put back the original drives into Drive Bay 3 and 4 and put the now newly formatted drive back into Drive Bay 2.
    14. After switching on the computer the system start and login proceeds without any error message. All drives appear as expected on the desktop.

    If anyone is reading this still looking for what caused the issue and how to fix it here is what I discovered.
    The antivirus program our company uses, Bitdefender Antivirus Plus, was causing some of the PDF files not to open. After troubleshooting the different modules and settings the culprit was..
    Scan SSL in Privacy Control Settings. Turning it OFF solved the problem and all the PDF files that previously would not open now open just fine. This issue has been sent to Bitdefender for them to review. If you use a different antivirus program and are having this issue try locating the Scan SSL setting and see if turning it off solves the problem.

  • Can't Install Snow Leopard on new drive

    I'm having a relatively serious problem with upgrading my hardware. I have a Mac Pro tower with an empty HD slot into which I installed a new drive which mounts properly.
    My plan was to simply move everything from the old hard drive to the new one, using Disk Utility's "Restore" function.
    That seemed to work fine, but when I restarted and attempted to switch startup disks, selecting the new drive caused an immediate kernel panic (the grey screen saying "You need to restart your computer") which was preceeded momentarily by some very strange dos-like text in the upper left hand corner of the screen.
    So after several attempts, I gave up and tried to simply install snow-leopard on the new drive. That never even got started. While the snow leopard installer would happily install the OS on any of my external drives that had enough free space, the new drive (despite the fact that it was mounted on the system) would not even show up in the list of drives to select in the Snow Leopard installer.
    I checked the formatting of the drive, and it seems to be the same as both my current startup disk, and the external drive that the OS could be installed on.
    How can I move my entire system to this new drive without causing instant kernel panics? Thanks in advance for any help!
    Cheers,
    Ari

    Interesting. Yes, I think that is what macjack had in mind. However, after doing what macjack said, your drive would be erased Mac OS X extended (journaled), and, after shutting down disk utility, you could just continue the install you would have started. At the end of the install, you could restore your files, data, settings, and apps from your other drive. The choice, of course is yours. If I were doing it, I would perfer the first alternative.

    Hi. I have set up the trial versions of Photoshop CC 2014 and Lightroom 5.6 (ie the Photography plan) on a desktop that I have added a new drive to with Windows 7. Everything works fine BUT it is an old computer and I'm thinking that it may pack up unexpectedly. These things happen. I want to sign up for the Photography plan but I also have a Windows Vista laptop, and that is old too so I may want to put the apps on a new desktop and a new laptop, having already installed on my desktop. That makes three activations. Am I allowed to do this? Cheers. Paul

    You cannot have three activations. It's simply not technically possible. If and when the time comes, you simply deactivate/ sign out on one of the old systems and install on the new one. If the system goes belly up, you contact support to reset your account. No need to make it more complicated than that and overthink it.

  • How do I add a new drive to a degraded MIRRORED  RAID set?

    My mirrored raid said it was degraded because one of the drives had a failure.
    Today I unplugged the faulty drive and inserted a new one.
    So far so good.
    I erased the new drive.
    Then I went into disk utility and followed the instructions in the help about RAID but I cannot see how to add this new drive to the RAID.
    I'm confused.
    1) The data is all on the RAID (the good, original slice) so can I add a new slice?
    2) how do I do it?
    Many thanks

    I don't recommend the Apple hardware RAID card, and it doesn't work with off the shelf drives. If you are using drives in RAID, first make sure they are RAID Edition or lacking that Enterprise. Same make/model/firmware.
    If using Seagate, avoid anything prior to 7200.12 series. If WD the RE2/3 series.
    Rebuilds are slow, and one reason why I recommend 3 drives, even if you lose one you are covered still.
    Of course just having two backups per volume is more important and comes first; mirrors are great for live editing and recording (audio) but otherwise... I'd stick to stripe and redundant backups. Only if you need 24/7. Otherwise, forget mirror.

    Also, can i organize the drives in any way i want, making more than one RAID volume with a single rack and a single raid card? i guess yes, but i want to be sure, and asking is free

    How to replace or upgrade a drive in a laptop
    Step One: Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
    Boot from your Recovery HD. Select Disk Utility from the main menu and click on the Continue button. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
    If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
    Step Two: Remove the old drive and install the new drive.  Place the old drive in an external USB enclosure.  You can buy one at OWC who is also a good vendor for drives.
    Step Three: Boot from the external drive.  Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager appears.  Select the icon for the external drive then click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    Step Four: New Hard Drive Preparation
      1. Open Disk Utility in your Utilities folder.
      2. After DU loads select your new hard drive (this is the entry with the
          mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of
          the drive in DU's status area.  If it does not say "Verified" then the drive
          is failing or has failed and will need replacing.  Otherwise, click on the
          Partition tab in the DU main window.
      3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from
          the drop down menu to one. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended
          (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to
          GUID  then click on the OK button. Click on the Partition button and
          wait until the process has completed.
      4. Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the
          drive entry) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main
          window.
      5. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the
          Options button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to
