UT2004 64-Bit and Vehicle Sounds

[Spaz]

Has anyone using UT2004 64-Bit had the issue were vehicle sounds don't get played or don't play correctly. I just played a game of ONS for the first time with the 64-Bit version and heard the problem.

I'll put this in the same slot as the EAX + HW bug. :bulb:

It is probably something to do with the fact that in 64-bit mode you only have one audio choice which is OpenAL.

I havent noticed vehicle sounds because I havent played onslaught since I started using 64-bit mode. I have noticed the sound quality when shock combos and explosions go off is equivalent to the 'Software Audio' setting in the 32-bit version.

OK I'm trying to see if its the game or drivers. I would put my bet on the game since I had other issues with sound since the game has been out.

Found the issue on UT2004 Servers forum. Hope it gets fixed... Hope :sour:

"The 64 bit UT2004 has better Tex rendering and runs the same as the 32 bit as far as performance... looks prettier though. There are a few sound bugs however. Like the HellBender has one sound, not switching gears for the engine. I'd use it all the time if they updated the 64 bit client as fast as
the 32."

Still broken with the newest patch.

I'm going to start making video of problems I have. Should have done that when the game first came out.

This video shows that in the 64-Bit version vehicles don't play acceleration or deceleration sounds but just the full speed loop.

Hello. So yeah I got the same problem. The game is broken for x64 after loading the bonus pack. out: Anyone heard if there is a fix in the works?

You have better chance of getting struck by lightning

Since 3369 X64 and the mega pack it takes forever (around 3-4 minutes) for 2K4 to load the map in IA... I can't get on net games anymore with the 64 bit version either unless I wait for about 10 minutes.

unfortunatley the dev person for the 64 bit probably will not attempt to fix the bugs with this one until Epic releases a new patch version... BAH!

I have a fix for you... now to post it:

http://files.filefront.com/openaldyl.../fileinfo.html

replace you OpenAL file in your System folder with it.

Sweet, hope it works, will test in the A.M.

I'll report my findings.

BTW, is this file for windows or other OS? I have never seen a file with an ending like this: openal.dylib

[Spaz]

Thanks to AirTran Airlines I'm stuck in Atlanta tonight. So I can't try it...

[CVROY]

Do I just change to extension to .dll ?

This file does nothing for win 32 ... darn it

[legacy-slime73]

Oh darn, sorry. I assumed it's the same with Windows as it is with Macs.
