N2002: Sound problem

Gents, I get a screen-freeze, temporarily, every time the spotter says something for the first time. After that, no problems, so after my first "car high", for example, I won't have a problem with that particular sentence, but will with a 'new' one. Any idea what I should change?

You could try changing in your app.ini in the NR2002 directory [SPCC] EnableStreaming=0 to turn off the spotter's streaming, so it won't load each wave file off disk at the moment the game goes to use it. Colin Harris wrote:

You could try turning off the streaming of spotter audio by editing your game's APP.INI as follows: [SPCC] EnableStreaming=0 - Eric "Colin Harris" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:JmFz8.16816$[email hidden]... > Gents, I get a screen-freeze, temporarily, every time the spotter says > something for the first time.

If you disable this, where does the game keep the wav's then while they're waiting to be reused? In memory? And if so, for how long? Or will it just not load them under certain circumstances? Achim "Grant Reeve" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...

Even though my freezes didn't occur when the spotter spoke, I tried the change that Eric and Grant recommended and it looks like my 2-3 second screen freezes have stopped. The spotter now sounds fuzzy, and I still get an occasional freeze for a fraction of a second, but it shouldn't be anything that will affect my driving. All this time I thought it had something to do with ram. -- David G Fisher "Colin Harris" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:JmFz8.16816$[email hidden]... > Gents, I get a screen-freeze, temporarily, every time the spotter says > something for the first time.
