Ok, this is interesting. The issue probably exists between the sound card drivers and DirectSound. Definately driver upgrade, and by any chance are any of you using onboard (on the motherboard) sound? That stuff SUCKS. The drivers stuck to my OS like a hobo on a baked potato.

Using Turtle Beach Santa Cruz, not mobo sound, DirectSound support is OFF. Drivers are completely up to date on my sound card, and I have the latest Version of DirectX.

I finally got it to run by renaming the Music directory. Something must be wrong with mp3 playback.

Small update:
Finally got it to run by installing the latest Nvidia drivers. Apparently Starfury did not want to play nicely with the 44.03 I had installed. Ah well, it works now, so I'm happy.

One thing about the music. I can reload a saved game with the music running normally without the game crashing. Only if I start a new game does it crash immediately upon entering space unless I rename the music directory.

Sent this info to Malfador, it might help them a lot.

Im using the Nvidia detonator thingy and im an absolute noob @ drivers.

I wanna play with sounds.....

Updated GeForce 3 drivers to latest 45.23. I got past the intro screens, actually selected and named ship, etc. After that, nothing...more access violations and floating point errors...

I think its a soundcard problem.
I tried to update my nvidia soundcard drivers. Witch didnt work (it broke down during installation or something).

But it did install some files becaurse my sounds are working now. After replacing the sounds directory in the Starfury directory my sounds were working again.

But you arent missing anything, i dont like the sounds at all.

[TIP] copy/paste your sounds directory out of the starfury directory and the game should work!!!!!!!

Certain sound cards are notorious for having issues if they don't have current DirectX certified drivers for them. If all else fails try disabling Direct Sound or decreasing acceleration.

BTW please report any bugs (such as the sound card issues) to [email protected]. That way Aaron can make sure they get included on his list of issues.
