2.2.2 ALPHA release (windows only!) Sound patch

[Buginator]

I will not be around for a few weeks, so I made a quick build to test the latest sound code.

Get the file here:
test over

It is just r7924 of the 2.2 branch, + this patch: http://developer.wz2100.net/attachment/ ... SM2a.patch

That is the only thing different.

I need to know about sound issues, and how much better it is that the older code.

In bug reports, make SURE you specify this version: "warzone2100-Alpha-SoundFix-2.2only"


This is *only* the .exe, you need to replace the current .exe from 2.2.1!


Thanks for testing!

Test over, will be in 2.2.2 shortly.

i only have sound isue's when my laptop runs on "Eco" mode, to spare energy, then i got like... my sound is creaking/cracking like crazy , and game runs slower when this sound comes (mostly happens on big maps with alot of units) when i turn eco mode off its gone... so i just had to tell this becuase i like to spare energy

No issues here! Tested on NTW map 1, I had 9 Heavy Cannons and several Assault Guns firing all at the same time, this used to cause a problem. Flawless! (In that instance, at least )

It seems as though this has dramatically improved game performance!

I usually have problems in T3 8 player around midgame - especially VTOL' sound used to "hang".

But yesterday I succesfully completed at large map (BIG one) game which always have chrashed !
Great work !

So did you eliminate the oil derrick sound? (It isn't that bad.)

Nope.
I didn't remove any sounds. That bloody awful noise is still there.

I even added a few screams in 2.2.3, and it has better sound code as well (true 3D sound).

Yes, and I noticed that I could still hear the derricks , but only if I zoomed in really far and turned the volume WAY, WAY up.
