j'ordos Posted July 27, 2003 Report Share Posted July 27, 2003 You do have VDMSound right? (just checking)Is it the setup that crashes, or the game? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

j'ordos Posted July 27, 2003 Report Share Posted July 27, 2003 try running the setup.exe with VDMSound. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoboUivante Posted July 27, 2003 Author Report Share Posted July 27, 2003 you mean opening VDMSound then entering setup while VDMSound is still active? i did that now, setup doesn't recognize my audio device... oh.. where's the humanity.. maybe i need another VDMSound version.. my version is 2.01 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j'ordos Posted July 27, 2003 Report Share Posted July 27, 2003 hmm, current version of VDMSOUND is 2.04, so you might consider upgrading I meant use the 'run wirh VDMSound' option on the setup.exe... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoboUivante Posted July 27, 2003 Author Report Share Posted July 27, 2003 hmm... i can't find the option you refered in your previous post... maybe i need to upgrade.. i'll search for your version. be right back to you thanks for the help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoboUivante Posted July 27, 2003 Author Report Share Posted July 27, 2003 yeah, my version doesn't have the run with setup option.. everything should be ok now .. i'm grateful for you have just helped an old veteran of X-Com to rid of this despicable alien scum (no disrespect intended to real aliens). tahnks!!! btw. still no worthy apocalypse predecesor??... enforcer seems to suck.. and interceptor was kind of... bad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j'ordos Posted July 27, 2003 Report Share Posted July 27, 2003 (edited) right click on 'setup.exe', there you should see an option called 'run with VDMS'...If you have the VDMS launchpad installed (recommended btw) you should have two : one with a symbol and one without. The one with symbol is for launchpad, use that one. EDIT : saw you have already fixed it. Good job . Yeah no improved xcom3. But Xenocide will rock anyway :wink: Edited July 27, 2003 by j'ordos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoboUivante Posted July 27, 2003 Author Report Share Posted July 27, 2003 eh eh i try to do the"run with vdm" but i freezes i think.. anyway i'll check the launchpad. what about the xenocide... i am new here... i've read some posts about it.. is it going to resemble x com 1?

j'ordos Posted July 27, 2003 Report Share Posted July 27, 2003 (edited) Yes, xenocide will be based on xcom1. Edited July 27, 2003 by j'ordos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoboUivante Posted July 27, 2003 Author Report Share Posted July 27, 2003 no live action setting then.. too bad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j'ordos Posted July 27, 2003 Report Share Posted July 27, 2003 well, I tried using vdmsound on setup.exe myself, it doesn't work... You can still try it.Does setup.exe just say it can't detect your soundcard? 'cos that's normal, just save settings and quit... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoboUivante Posted July 27, 2003 Author Report Share Posted July 27, 2003 i've ued the launchpad but it stops at "sucessfully loaded & initialized (hvdd = 0*01)" shouldn't the setup interface appear now or something? when i put soundblaster 220 7 1 in setup.. it crashes so i can't save Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j'ordos Posted July 27, 2003 Report Share Posted July 27, 2003 Yes, I noticed that too, you can't run setup that way... Don't know what to do now... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoboUivante Posted July 27, 2003 Author Report Share Posted July 27, 2003 it works!! whanks a lot J'ordos at last.. really weird to put that working but it works... now... time to get them... btw... is it possible to play x com online ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j'ordos Posted July 27, 2003 Report Share Posted July 27, 2003 ? what did you do yo get it working?? Just run xcom apoc again? No it's not possible to play xcom3 online. They originally planned to do so, but it was left out, along with lots of other cool things... A real shame... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoboUivante Posted July 27, 2003 Author Report Share Posted July 27, 2003 i did the setup through the launchpad.. then a shortcut appears.. i changed in soublaster (that's on advanced or something like that, easy spotting it) to via audio (wave) which is my hardware, check on your sound multimedia to see what your is... then i ran normal setup... didn't test the sound and it worked... at least... that's what i think i did....

j'ordos Posted July 27, 2003 Report Share Posted July 27, 2003 (edited) Great!! . Glad you got it working. Enjoy!! :happybanana: edit : you don't mean you always tested the sound before do you? No way that would work, it would crash for sure... Edited July 27, 2003 by j'ordos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoboUivante Posted July 27, 2003 Author Report Share Posted July 27, 2003 yeah, when i tested the sound it would crash.. so it's not a good idea doing so Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Prep Posted October 15, 2003 Report Share Posted October 15, 2003 hmm.. I have been having similar issues with trying to get it to run on Xp and i'm not sure I understand exactly what has been said here. If I run without VDM sound I get delayed laggy sound, if I run with I get nothing. I tried the "Run with VDM" on the setup but as was said earlier it doesn't work anyway, but I have no idea how to get it to work. The lanchpad thing? Whats this, I just (30 mintues ago) maybe downloaded VDM 2.0.4 and I have no launchpad option, am I missing something? Thanks for any help in advance.

LarryFromMadrid Posted January 11, 2004 Report Share Posted January 11, 2004 Here's what I did: I went to sound setup for X-Com, selected the first Sound Blaster, set the IRQ setting to 7, ignored the warning message, saved the settings, left the setup, downloaded the cd-crack, put all the files on the crack into my X-Com folder, set the XCOM3.bat file from the crack to Compatibility mode for Windows 95, and right-clicked on the .bat, then selected "Run with VDMS". That got my sound up and running. Good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Erik Posted March 31, 2004 Report Share Posted March 31, 2004 i had the same prob as Prep when i did setup my soundcard with autoselect it selected a soundblaster 16bit with irq 5 (standard i believe). When i ran the game with VDM sound i got no sound. the problem is that x-com setup doesnt detect correct irq. VDM sound recognizes my soundcard as IRQ 7 (see properties->advanced->tab soundblaster). So just set irq iof VDM sound same as X-com setup and there's your sound Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
