Hi there,
I recently bought Beyond the Sword and it keeps failing at the Init Audio stage. What's strange about this is that Vanilla and Warlords still seem to work ok (with the latest patches). I'm not sure if this problem is DirectX-related, or XML-related, or what.. it seems like a lot of people are having a lot of different problems with BTS right now.
Anyway, I enabled logging, and here's where my init abruptly stops:
[5545.984] DBG: FILE Cat Init
[5579.272] DBG: NOT Using XML cache, failed to find crc.dat file
[5579.562] DBG: Game Init
[5579.562] DBG: Multiplayer Init BEGIN
[5580.183] DBG: Multiplayer Init END
[5580.223] DBG: Audio Init
And my audio log is an endless stream of Audiomanager errors,
e.g
[5581.776] ERR: FAudioManager::GetAudioTagIndex(): Could not find string AS2D_BLACK_HOLE_AMB_BED_LP of TagId -1
[5581.776] ERR: FAudioManager::GetAudioTagIndex(): Could not find string 2D of TagId 7)
ending in
[5581.876] ERR: Audio System: Could not find test file for calculating streams.
[5581.876] ERR: Audio System: Could not calculate voices.
[5581.876] ERR: Audio System: Could not initialize the base audio system.
[5581.876] AudioManager: Could not initialize the audio system.
I've enclosed the DXDiag for my horrible soundcard... any advice would be appreciated.
