thanks for the heads up

 

Does this means bolt action rifles don't mysteriously miss when you shoot someone point blank?

 

Luckily for me, steam updates it so you can never skip an update when theres one

Nice. Thanks, CambridgeBullet. :thumbup:

I didn't even start playing it yet, although it's already sitting on my desk since it was released... :bugeye:

 

Is it just me are are there no sound issues......ie me and a friend who have different sounds card, now have NO sound!!??

 

I have the same problem. What OS are you using? I am using Windows 7 64bit build 7000. Grrrrrrrrrrrr! I am going to try installing the sound drivers again to see if it will clear up the sound issue.

I just tried the SBXF_PCDRV_LB_2_18_0008
works when setting to 16bit 44,100mhz
I will try the SBXF_W7DRVBETA_US_2_18_0008 now.( never tried but did find some info)

#1 17:14pmEST

Our friend Buster tells us that CoD:WW v1.2 has a sound issue with Vista. To work around this issue, Vista users are asked to lower the quality to 16bit 44,100mhz.

"Hell of a way to improve the sound", says Buster.

WTF some patch, oh well 1.3 is coming out soon. Maybe they will get it fixed?

 

I am on Vista Business 64, my mate is on Vista HP 64!!

 

Set your sound card to 16bit 44,100mhz

 

Nice one mate.....FIXED, tho having to use lowest sound setting sucks ass!!

 

I was in a server and a guy using vista 64 said he could go up to 16 bit 48,000
With windows 7 I can only go to 44,100

 

Ridiculous that you have to lower the sound quality.

 

thanks worked for me hope they bring on patch 1.3 quick

 

what's worse with this patch, is that if you are using windows 7 + creative card, the game hangs anytime you shut it down when using Game Mode with the Creative driver. Creative fixed this with a beta driver for widows 7, but this recent patch by Treyarch adds it back. This bug doesn't occur when you select Entertainment mode.

Game also hangs if you try to use ALChemy. At least with the beta Creative driver you could a higher quality selection and use game mode. Now this patch from Treyarch totally bugs the sound and one has to use lower quality settings. For me, this game has always had a bugged sound programming. I hope Treyarch finally gets it right with 1.3. uke2:

 

I cant get the makin day map to load during the rotation on MP. Anyone else having this problem? The map will say waiting for players and just hangs there, bah!!!!!!
