1914: Shells of Fury

Vox165 · 06-14-21, 04:27 PM

I never had or heard anyone else with this particular problem. I installed SOF from a disk and run on a Windows 7/64 bit build, set to run as administrator and compatibility set to XP service pack 2. Video at 1980x1024 @60hz. Also, SOF requires elements from Direct X 9c which are not included in later versions. Maybe try reinstall. -hope you solve problem

Tip. I noticed a friend's recent install of SOF + UBoote KursWest mod , lacked the satisfying "thump" of torp hitting it's target while his Uboat was submerged. The sound wav wasn't playing. He didnt notice it until I pointed it out. I corrected my game years ago and forgot about it. I'm not sure how it occurred, but Im guessing other players may have this same problem and not know.

Fortunately fix is easy. (*Before changing anything always backup First!) His problem was caused by a duplicate entry in: 1914 Shells of Fury\Game\sounds.txt.

In the " sounds.txt" file there were duplicate entries for :explo_torp_Innen.wav and explo_torp_unten.wav. Open "sounds.txt" with notepad. You will have to scroll down to find the the duplicates. Keep the duplicates but change the values of the second pair from: 1 and 7000 to 120 and 9000 to match the first set. Then Save. That should do it.
