[Pure_Luck]

discuss

[Edify]

This is deceptive. I expected a real poll.

sound off

edit: wtf there's a poll now.

[Aquatiq]

w/ sounds.. helps with stuff ya can't see sometimes

[Dr. Gene Ray]

where's the music and sound option?? :P

[Izor]

If im not mistaken playing winamp/wmp/some other music prog really fucks your lag

[let]

Without sound.
Actually it helps like Aquatic said.

[hockeydude]

i play with ?sound=5... and my Winamp going ... nothing better

[Asmodeus]

I've been playing w/o sounds for 4+ years with winamp in the background frequently. Izor, it would affect lag if your computer couldn't handle both Continuum and Winamp/Windows Media Player/Insert-Your-Favorite-Player-Here. I can't say I've ever experienced lag on this computer. However, on my Pentium 90MHz computer...that's a whole different story. Glad I got rid of it though.

engines off
?sound=1
?music=0
tunes in the background

this is the only way to pilot spaceships

[Fit of Rage]

Me too J.

[gran guerrero]

meh i watch tv while playing so i turn off all sounds entirely. plus i find it annoying. dont know why. just do.

[Jason]

oh fit, by the way dude, it dawned on me that i saved that dave grohl avatar as a png and IE's png support sucks so the transparency was probably fucked up

i'll redo it as a gif and post it on the diso forums for you if you want

[Fit of Rage]

That would be most excellent duder.

yea if your computer is 20 years old

[za gophar]

i did not vote because it's a combination of all 3.

sometimes the sounds annoy me and i just want to hear silence or music.

i usually play with music and sounds.

if i want to play at the top of my game, i need sounds. they make me play noticeably better.

Edit: sounds can help save you from cloakers. they are newbs who cant fly, and like to bonk into walls and make noise. other than that, it's just a general help to further immerse me into the game. makes it easier to follow what's going on around you.
