I have another version of soa (non-echelon) which black-screens every time when coming out of the inventory. you probably know what i'm talking about.
in the next few days i'm going to do a bit of testing to find out why this version does that. I think that the black-screen problems in this version are related to the same ones we are having in the echelon version.
i also have a few ideas about the hanging problems too.
i got a funny feeling that the blackscreen/hanging/music/sfx bugs are all related to the same problem because they all have 1 thing in common. They don't happen the same way/same place every time. In other words they are not replicateable. They have a tendancy to build up over time. If I can find that problem then all should be fixed except the gfx glitches which are a chankast issue anyway. Maybe they are all related to PLOKTA. I might try keeping the keyboard buffer clear as I am playing and see whether that has an effect on this.
Fina said:If you set the Chankast CPU setting down to 50, the game will go unusually fast. Almost the entire game will be in fast-forward, which makes it easier to get past parts without the emu hanging.
I think Fina's finding is an important clue towards fixing all these problems.
i will post any positive results i find from these tests immediately.
EDIT - SOAPatcher v3.0 will probably get it's own website/forum too.
