Yeah, guess I wasn't smart enough to use both Win95-compatibility and sound acceleration = none at the same time ;-)

Well haven't Origin been one of the biggest fans of Intel? Or was it just ugly rumour that Origin-guys optimized their games specially for Intel's CPUs? Altough it doesn't matter too much now, because AMD's cpus do have even more power than Intel Pentiums... Haven't played SO much...

Well, seems like I partially solved the problem. The thing was, that I had to put prophecy.exe into Win95-compatibility mode before adjusting sound acceleration to none, so movies now play decently (but not yet perfectly). If there was no compatibility mode set, first movie clip immediately...

Hey! Has someone tried one of those "wrappers" that convert Glide commands to D3D? So theoretically I could get all the effects working on my GF2 with a glide wrapper.

IMO Origin has always had a pretty poor attitude what comes to their games. Always favoring some big "standards" - Who would imagined that Intel is not the greatest CPU-manufacturer anymore and only few has a Voodoo GFX board? Origin could have at least release a patch for Prophecy that...

But you didn't try to submit your information, eh? I can get that far too, but after pushing the submit-button pretty "internal server error" occurs. Quite explaining to me. Anyway, someone has made a callsign serial generator with JavaScript so I don't care about that crappy secretops.com...

Anyone got lens flares + fog working in D3D-mode? Pretty stupid to leave those effects out from D3D, and quite redickelous too because now 3DFX is dead and buried. So much of that stimulation of Voodoo marketing... I got lens flares working, but it seems somehow buggy. There are strange...

Well I can't. As I can see, the registration part of the page is down.

Yeah, right... oh, f*ck! Repeat, AC'97 onboard sound, newest drivers for XP. Turn sound acceleration off = TOTAL LOCK-UP, reset the only solution. With any other acceleration level movies have strange frame-skipping effect. Just my luck. Oh well, I can always turn off whole god damn movie...

W2k-patch seems to do nothing and game totally locks up my machine in first movie clip when I turn sound acceleration off! Between basic-full acceleration seems to have no effect. Is this really so hard...

I mean, movies do skip forward from time to time, like player would get some strange "speed boosts". Ummm, like frame skip or something. Ach. But anyway, the problem seems to be related to sound card somehow and this skipping problem with integrated AC97 audio. I switched to SB64PCI and...

I'm just wondering the idea of that I must go some www-page and register my callsign to get serial code, before I can play the game? What's the catch? Are there any "key generators" available?

I think this is one XP Pro-thing again, but does anyone know what causes "leaping" in the game's movie sequences? Leaping spots are random and it really suddenly leaps video forward just like I'd hitted the >>-button of DVD remote control or something. This makes following the plot impossible...
