Anyone running this game in vista? I am having some issues trying to get all the sounds to work and was wondering if anyone has had any success getting it to work.

Thanks

yes, I have patched using the microsoft and the unofficial 1.4. Nothing fixes the issue. Now I am getting stuck in mission 3 where the rhienland guys block you on the way to the planet. Juni is supposed to try to contact them, and they turn hostile, but nothing happens.

Also, I don't think that xp has the same issues as vista does, due to the fact that you are still using directsound. Vista does not come with directsound and I don't know if you can install it either.

Have you tried going into the properties for the game and setting it to run in compatibility mode for Windows XP?

Right click the icon on screen, go to properties, go to the compatibility tab, click on "Run this program in compatibility mode for:" and then choose Windows XP (Service Pack 2) from the dropdown list. That helped me with Everquest on Vista Ultimate 64, and I think that is likely a far older game hehe. Good luck!
