Great game! A little problem...

[Steve_McC]

First of all, this is a great game, I'm loving it, it really sends me down WC2 memory lane, as well as privateer, etc... you get the picture : )

One problem I'm having is this: the ingame movies worked well at first, until I hit the "no interlace" feature on the options menu. Since then they play extremely fast, to the point that one can't tell what's going on. I'm wondering if others have had the same problem, and if there's something I can do to fix it.

Thanks for a great game so far, just completed the 4th mission. I'm usually an Ultima fan (Ultima V: Lazarus was completed recently - http://www.u5lazarus.com), but there's always a soft spot for wing commander in my heart.

I wished people would actually read the launcher documentation or the FAQ (http://www.crius.net/zone/showthread.php?t=18088)

Question: The videos seem to be playing too fast, and the sound is just unintelligible noises.
Answer: Turn off sound hardware acceleration in DXDiag (Start->Run->type "DXdiag" and press enter, then look in the sound tab). If that doesn't solve the problem, try using the anti-sound-skipping option in Standoff's launcher. If enabling that option solves your problem, you can try turning hardware sound acceleration back on to avoid problems with other games.

I'd try the sound skipping option first BTW. It works more reliably and doesn't affect other games...

Hey there, glad you like the game so far. Try to finish Ep 1 by the time Ep 3 comes out (tomorrow! ) to enjoy our new secret feature.

But yeah, this problem is pretty much the most common problem with Standoff. The solutions suggested in the FAQ fix it in practically all cases.
