For those New Players Experiencing Sound Issues

[PoLiX]

http://www.ssforum.net/index.php?showtopic=11437

Recently found a common issue amongst those visiting the Tech Support forum, and this is the issue/solution.

Pass it on to any new players, cause this is with the installer on SSDL/GetContinuum.com Portal/Other sites.

Appreciated the heads up.

just to note as far as i'm aware the getsubspace.com installer doesnt have this issue. so as a workaround you can use that installer for now....

edit: the offical installer is fixed now i think

The Installer at getcontinuum.com hasn't worked for me.

Infact, going into my sounds folder and changing the extensions of gun1.wa2 & gun2.wa2 to .wav then playing them makes NO sound whatsoever. Silence.

For some reason their's no sound when I explode either, only when others die. I tried the same thing with those sounds and they seem ok.

Very strange.

The issue is that the game installer is flawed. I have e-mailed the creator and other web admins about the issue, and a fixed installer will be available shortly.

For now, here is the manual fix:

* Close Continuum if it is open
* Go to C:\Windows\system32
* Copy or Cut (preferably just copy to be safe) the folder named Sound
* Go to C:\Program Files\Continuum (or wherever you've installed it) and paste this in there
* Open Continuum, and you should have in-game sounds

Continuum's menu sounds are included in one of the dlls, so you might get sound in the menu, but not in game. This is the manual solution until the installer is fixed. When the installer is updated, you will be able to just use the installer and re-install.

Good help you are bringing, altho perhaps having it in this topic is what people like too.

does the getsubspace.com one work i was under the impression this issue was fixed

the getsubspace.com site has since been removed but the download is still here at:

Everything I've tried from both here & ssforum.net has failed to have any effect.
