C2 Troubles now.....

Post by Reno »

I gave up trying to get C1 to work on my Vista Ultimate 64 Machine so have now moved on to C2.

Well, it installed just fine (This is a Legit bought copy of C2 before anyone asks), after that I go to play it, intro movie comes up but no sound... hmmm... ok, I haven't played it for a long time, maybe thats how it was...... get to the main menu..... still no sound, I decide to continue on, set up my controlls, graphics etc and proceed to the first race..... still no sound but picture, controlls etc work just fine. This is without Glide Wrapper.

I download Glide Wrapper, use C2 settings that have been posted on here and proceed to start the game again but this time I just get a blank screen with no sound.

So I set compatability mode on to 98 and res to 640 x 480..... I try again with and without Glide Wrapper..... same thing happens again for both.

I download the XP/Vista Patch and try again with and without Glide Wrapper..... still the same problem.

I decide to try launching straight from the Carma_hw.exe..... Ahha! SOUND!..... but oh bollox..... No Picture, just a Blank Screen!..... Back to the drawing board.....

I then hear about 'Super Patch V2.0 so proceed to download and install it..... I try again with and without Glide Wrapper..... FFS! still the same problems either a Picture with No Sound or just Nothing at all but a Blank Screen!

This is where I'm at as I post this, I've tried all the above and none of it worked :sad:

Any other suggestions?

I had this same problem some time ago (in fact, I started a thread back then). Just run the Carma2_HW.exe directly instead of carma2.exe. It doesn't matter what resolution or other settings you set up in your glide wrapper. It should run with sound fine just from the HW.exe.

That's the one I'm using... Not quite sure what could be wrong. Maybe try dgvoodoo, if not that then maybe it's something with the way DirectX works with your video card when running C2. I'm sure there are other members of the CWA forum that know better than I do :tongue:
