does this error log point to a sound card or driver issue?
i have a creative sound card (like who doesnt) and the game has worked for me in the past

it references microsoft's direct sound, you might want to update this:

i have that d/l already i tried a trick i learned from another game right click the shortcut on the target line add --skipopenal thats to skip the open al from creative
may work if there are sound related conflicts it seemed to work last night

i just wish i knew why or when it wouldnt work if only ther ewould be an error message that way we can at least see where the error was
