Sound Distortion after 10 mins

March 1, 2006 7:25 AM from

I'm having a slight problem with Galciv 2 - about 5-10 mins after booting the game, the sound (FX and music) becomes noticeably distorted. To work around it, I have to close the game, turn down sound accelleration in control panel to the halfway notch and then run the game again. Is this a known problem? For info, the only other games this has ever happened in are the two Lionhead titles - Fable and Black & White 2, so I'm thinking that perhaps GC2 and those games share a 3rd party sound system?

My specs are (all latest drivers)

AMD 2800XP
Asus A7N8X Deluxe mobo
on-board sound (nVidia Soundstorm 5.1)
1gb RAM
HIS Radeon X850 XT Platinum
WinXP SP2

Thanks

Thanks for letting us know, simulcra. The development team will certainly look into it.

Yes, I have a similar problem. The music and FX volume constantly changes for me during gameplay. Usually it takes for me to go into the diplomacy screen (or do any action that changes the music) and the sound becomes barely audible. Then a while later, it suddenly starts blaring again. Annoying.
