SB ZxR and Alchemy with F.E.A.R.

Hello,
I just started a playtrough of the F.E.A.R. PC game on windows 7 x64.
I'm using Alchemy 1.45.01 and it recognises the F.E.A.R. game and expansions that I have installed.
I changed the paths to the .exe files of the games.
I can set on all EAX effects in the game but from time to time I get crackling and ticking sounds.
This is on random occasions, in the first 3 intervals of the game sound was perfect and than it started.
I already found out that the buffer and duration should be changed to other values according to some websites but this did not solve the issue.
Does anybody know what is wrong ?
thnks
Sebastian

Yes jmacguire, but isn't it nice that you find that out as a customer ! I mean why don't they say creative alchemy may malfunction, dts upmixing sometimes works (never in my case), driver install could work normal but in most cases a new os install is required in the promotion video or on the packaging ! I already contacted Creative and they where looking into it. Don't they test their software/driver ? It's like with computer games these days, broken before they are even on the market ! A patch that is instead of a small adjustment or enhancement is the size of the game itself :/ It's all terrible management if you ask me !

  • Music fading in and out with XtremeGam

    OK, I have Vista Ultimate x64. I also have the Logitech Z-5500 5. speakers. Everything ws sounding perfect and couldn't ask for anything to be better after I squared away my issues with not having EAX effects while gaming. Truthfully I really have no idea how I did that but the EAX worked fine in games after I download Alchemy but the games I am playing are not supported in Alchemy....strange. Anyway, when I built the new computer I only downloaded the drivers and no other software, I was told I needed to download Alchemy and also get the Creative Audio Launcher in order to get the EAX to work properly. After I did that all went to hell with playing music and only music. I now have issues with music in Itunes fading in and out really bad. I had uninstalled the Creative Audio Console(I had downloaded it a few days after the Alchemy and that was when the stufff hit the fan) and after doing that I ended up with a problem with Control Panel and the Windows games not opening. I took care of that problem so now it is on to why the music is still fading in and out I had considered that it may be I need to uninstall ALL of the Creative crap and then install only what I am needing, the Creative Audio Console(not the Launcher), drivers, and Alchemy. So any ideas of what can actually be the problem(s) I really hate to listen to music that is constantly fading in and out and my wife more or less uses the computer as a huge Mp3 player, she is real upset and is going off the walls not having her music play right. She listens to the music kind of loud and that is real noticable at those high volumes.Also, the speakers are not the issue, I hooked up my old set and I know they worked properly and they still gavve me the same results. I figure it has to be either the sound card or Itunes. I have not played music in any other media player yet so it is possible for it to be an Itunes problem instead. I plan on posting on their forums as well to see if I can get any help from that end. EDIT:Windows Vista Ultimate x644Gb of RAMXtremeGamerEVGA 8800GTIntel E8400Gigabyte GA-P35-DS4(rev. 2.0)If any of this will help.

    I had the same thing with Winamp. What I did was add Winamp to Alchemy manually and that cleared it up. I don't know if the same will work for iTunes or not though. Good luck!

  • ImageSnapShot and Alchemy Jpeg encoder

    Hi!
    I was trying to figure out how can i use the Alchemy JPEG encoder with ImageSnapShot to capture image and encode with Alchemy encoder
    If you see the ImageSnapShot function to capture is:
         var jpg : JPEGEncoder = new JPEGEncoder();
         var imageSnap:ImageSnapshot = ImageSnapshot.captureImage(image, 0, jpg);
    I want to capture a BIG screen, using JPEGEncoder its impossible beacose times of encoding.
    So, some can anyone that had worked with this tell me if its possible?
    Thanks in advance
    And excuse about my english =)

    I have just put up a tutorial/guide on how to use the Alchemy JPEG encoder in Flash. It's also an example on how to use a progressbar to monitor the encoding. Check out http://last.instinct.se/graphics-and-effects/using-the-fast-asynchronous-alchemy-jpeg-enco der-in-flash/640

  • Open report with "Save as" and "Open with" dialogue

    Hi,
    I'm using jasper reports within my application. I manage to open them in a new window but in that case the url containing JasperServer username and password is shown. I would like to open the report without showing the url.
    I tryed using a database procedure (http://sqlcur.blogspot.com/2009/02/jasperreports-in-apex.html) but all I get is a alert window saying "file does not begin with ' pdf-'". Couldn't see what is the problem (I used the same procedure as Ino has in his example) so I thought of another way. Is it possible, when someone clicks a button to open a report, to open that report with a "Save as" and "Open with" pop up window?
    The javascript function that I use:
    <script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">
    function openLAPopUpJasper(url){
    w = open(url,"winLov","toolbar=false,menubar=false,location=false,resizable=yes, //scrollbars=yes,status=yes,fullscreen=true");
    if (w.opener == null)
    w.opener = self;
    w.focus();
    </script>
    Thanks in advance!

    Troubleshooting help needed:  My iMac keeps crashing and restarting with a notice: "Spinlock application timed out"  What can I do?

    Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the page that opens.
    Select the most recent panic log under System Diagnostic Reports. Post the contents — the text, please, not a screenshot. In the interest of privacy, I suggest you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header and body of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.) Please don't post shutdownStall, spin, or hang reports.

  • Is there a way to create a PDF form that ANYONE can fill out and SAVE with their content?

    Is there a way to create a PDF form that ANYONE can fill out and SAVE with their content? By anyone, I mean someone who can download and use the free Adobe Reader, on either a Mac or PC. I have Acrobat Pro, and would like to be able to create forms that can not only be filled out and printed, but saved and emailed, which is not an option with the forms I have created to date. They can be filled out, but not saved, with Adobe Reader.
    TIA,
    Nancy

    To do what Dave indicated you need to do, it depends on what version of Acrobat you have:
    Acrobat 8: Advanced > Enable Usage Rights in Adobe Reader
    Acrobat 9: Advanced > Extend Features in Adobe Reader
    Acrobat 10: File > Save As > Reader Extended PDF > Enable Additional Features
    Acrobat 11: File > Save as Other > Reader Extended PDF > Enable More Tools (includes form fill-in & save)
    I wonder what it will be next time?

  • My Outlook/iCloud calendar invites to others appear to work on my end and sync with my PC and mobile, but when other people "accept" the invite, it will not populate/add in to their calendar. How can i fix this without turning off iCloud?

    My Outlook/iCloud calendar invites to others appear to work on my end and sync with my PC and mobile, but when other people "accept" the invite, it will not populate/add in to their calendar. How can I fix this without turning off iCloud?
    I am at a new office that uses Outlook (not Outlook Exchange) which does not sync with my mobile... I just got iCloud set up on my PC to sync my contacts, calendar, reminders, etc... The sync worked (not without flaws, but the other issues seem solvable... I think), so that i can now see all my appointments on both my phone and on my PC. The problem I am having is that iCloud moved all of my calendar items from Outlook into iCloud calendar and now when I send out meeting/calendar invites the recipients may accept them, but the meeting does not get added to their calendar. This is a huge problem and may mean that i need to turn off iCloud.
    Does anyone know how to fix this?
    Thanks!

    I am replying to my own post here as I seem to have fixed the problem.
    I do have some calendars that are shared. Some of those are shared with users who have time zone support turned on. So i activated time zone support on my iphone, then deleted my icloud subscription. I then signed in to icloud again and voila... problem solved.
    It is a weird one as the other calendar views were always fine and when you opened an event that appeared in the wrong day (on list view), the correct date of the event was shown in the information...

  • MY system folder, including hidden folders are littered with duplicate folders and files with the suffix (from old Mac) How do I remove them

    I have a Macbook Pro running Leopard 10.5.8. I had a problem with my my operating system (my fault, I moved a file I shoudnt have) couldnt boot up but was able to boot up from a backup. I managed to repair my original system except now all the system folders, including hidden folders are littered with duplicate folders and files with the suffix (from old Mac).  For the most part the dupes are an exact copy, but not always.  I want to remove them to free up space and cant imagine duplicate folders in the /system/library are not hindering my computer. But I dont know where to start and am afraid of doing irreparable damage. Any ideas

    Another way. You can use a USB flash drive & the camera connection kit.
    Plug the USB flash drive (works the same with an SD card) into your computer & create a new folder titled DCIM. Then put your movie/photo files into the folder. The files must have a filename with exactly 8 characters long (no spaces) plus the file extension (i.e., my-movie.mov; DSCN0164.jpg).
    Now plug the flash drive into the iPad using the camera connection kit. Open the Photos app, the movie/photo files should appear & you can import. (You can not export using the camera connection kit.)
