Even if you don't think/can't remember if you've changed the settings, check the file anyway (and to reiterate, it's the copy under "My Documents\SH3", not the copy in the main "SilentHunterIII\Cfg" folder).

SH3Commander Manual in troubleshooting chapter!:up:

Thank you guys- yes I did change some of the settings for compression (not sound as not available here), via SH3 Commander from the stock settings, one was compression from the game's max of 1024 to 4096 to help over those tedious long journeys, so id this maybe an issue?
I intend to reset them all and try again now!

I also changed the number of days spent in base down to 3- I and skip intro movies, assume this wont affect sound?

Regards

No...she'll be fine http://www.psionguild.org/forums/ima...s/thumbsup.gif

I am very pleased to report to all of those very helpful people who commented on this thread, that it now works fine with the sound- not sure if it was the downloading of the software to enable to .ogg files to be played (dont know why they played before the installation of sound 3.0!), or whether it was the changing of the settings under SH3 Commander for increased compression.
Can I ask the following?
1/ I have one problem though that seems a major one, and that is that I can not see the circle on the main map screen to see where I am! A big problem indeed when moving under high compression and generally without a sextant!
2/ Further to the above issue with sound, why does SH3 commander allow changes, ie higher compression times, if they then cause problems?

Please keep up the good work guys- I am sure that I speak for many who appreciate the fantastic efforts that you have, and are putting in, to improve this game without getting paid for it. I CERTAINLY APPRECIATE IT AND GET IMMENSE PLEASURE FROM IT.
