T-34 vs Tiger BSOD crashing problem solved

[Aces]

Hi chaps,

I hope this might help somebody. I have been having problems with the game crashing to blue screen every time at more or less the same spot in single player mission 1. I suspected a sound problem as it seems to happen when my Tiger takes a hit.

I installed "Whocrashed" ( www.resplendence.com/whocrashed )

This produced the following report:

"On Mon 01/02/2010 19:39:57 your computer crashed This was likely caused by the following module: rtkhdaud.sys <http://www.google.com/search?q=rtkhdaud.sys>

which confirmed my suspicipons. I followed the google link above

I found this link http://r-1.ch/rtkhdaud.html by a guy who had hacked the driver file (rtkhdaud.sys) to solve his bsod gaming problems and followed his instructions to install the realtek v2.14 driver XP version (ftp://61.56.69.18/pc/audio/WDM_R214.exe) and unzip his rtkhdaud.sys in place of realtek's and this has solved my problems.I don't know if this will help anyone else, your mileage might vary, good luck.

My pleasure, glad that it was a help. I thought it was a sound problem but nearly changed my mind when the problem persisted after installing their latest drivers, it would seem that the bug is still in the drivers, that diagnostic program is very useful.

Congrats on the fantastic work that you are doing, I have been folowing your work with much interest. I am very tight on cash at the moment but intend to subscribe to your work as soon as funds permit.

Best Regards
