Trying to run a repair.....
 

I am having a hell of a time trying to get this game to run.....it seems it does ok if I dont mod it....but when I try to install even the simplest of mods....I end up having lots of problems...and then when I try and run the repair on the game...it seems to stall and ends up sitting there with validating system files on the screen...and nothing happens...can anyone shed some insight here....

Have you incorporated the 1.4 SH3 Patch?

yep...sure did....I have completely uninstalled and reinstalled....downloaded the patch again...and tried to just download the Das boat music mod.....and now I am getting a lot of static whenever the depth charges go off....to the point that I have to turn the sound off because it is nothing but static.....realistic huh?? :lol: ...I think there must be a conflict with my sound card or something.....also...I was wondering if anyone had a problem with the weapons officer freezing up......it seems that if we get into a convoy.....he will provide solutions for about five minutes or so...and then nothing...and when I go down below and look at him...he is frozen.....so I send him to the rest quarters and then bring him back about three minutes later and he just stands there with his arms straight out........what gives here???

i had the same problem first, reinstalling dirextX, upgrading soundcard drives and turning off sound hardware acceleration solved the problem

The static- yes I get the same. I would call it a popping buzz each buzz lasts a couple of seconds and repeats many times. It's so loud I have to turn my volume all the way down. It always occurs whenever there are some type of explosions taking place in the game. I have looked into getting a different soundcard but I don't want to waste money if that doesn't solve my problem. My sound card is an older one. A CT4670 - SB LIVE. I haven't been able to find any updated drivers for it. I'm beginning to wonder if there is a conflict between the mb's sound driver and the soundcard driver.
As for your WepOff freeze up , I don't have that problem, but it sounds like maybe he came from Bavaria where he lived in a castle owned by a certain Victor Frankenstein. :rotfl:
