I just bought this game cause I heard how good it was supposed to be....
TO BAD I CANT PLAY IT :mad: :mad: :mad:
system specs are :
3.4ghz ht p4, sata 320gig, 7800gs, 2gig ddr400 ram.
I tried using the crack... and it hasnt improved the situation. I still get random freezes ALL the time. Makes the game unplayable. Can someone help ?

You did read the FAQ, which has a section on hyper threading related freezes and how to fix them, right? ;)

i finally got the game to start up, but what happens now, in the training level
when i'm supposed to pick what part of the military i want to join i do, then it just crashes at the load screen after the little cutscene.

Either you deleted your saves/current folder (path may not be exact), or the permissions prevent writing to it, or something. Recreate the folder, or restore write permission to it.

how do i write permission
my error says "buff len of 80 exceeded by 80: station.dif"

Now that you give the error message, I don't think that permissions are the problem. Someone else may have the solution though.

The path you installed SS2 to has too long of a name. You have to make it quite a bit shorter to fix up the error, and to make sure it won't happen again.

OK so i've read almost the entire thread, and it seems that im the first person to have this problem.......:erg: so........i can run the game fine, no saving problems or that problem where the game freezes after you choose ur job (marine, etc.) sure, the cutscenes dont cue up, but i can just watch them with wmp or whatever. My only real problem is this: all sound effects like gunfire, footsteps, grav-lift noises, etc. and also music and ambience stuff is working fine......but no voices. as in, when i go into basic training there's no instructional voice, when i open logs, theres no sound. For example, when you first enter the von braun, you recieve an email that basically tells you that a bunch of debris is about to fall on your head.......now, im assuming there is supposed to be a voice reading the email out loud, because by the time I opened the inventory, found the email menu, and read through the email, the debri fell on my head........ after this happened, i decided i wouldnt continue playing until i sorted this whole speech thing out, as it seems to be significantly taking away from the game experience......
btw.... I dont know if enabling hardware accelleration would help, but i cant seem to enable it..... and i have it set to 12 sound channels. dunno what to do.........:(

Try fiddling with the sound bias slider in the options. I've never had to use it, so I don't know if that'll have the desired effect. I'd say your one must be currently set to maximize the volume of environment/general sounds at the expense of emails, etc.

i already tried the bias slider thing........... i put it to the point where i couldnt hear footsteps or music anymore, and turned up the volume on the computer to maximum, but nothing happened.......... theres supposed to be a voice right when you exit the tram in the beginning right?
