    WC4 DVD - XP Issues

    I've played and finished the game and I have to say I was really impressed, Daylight Productions done a great job. I only had one small issue with the playback and that was when you rescue Catascratch, your back on the carrier and Blair chews out Maniac for giving out bad advice to newbies.

    WC4 DVD - XP Issues

    Make sure you have selected your Saitek as your preferred device, I'm guessing if you check it now it will be empty, click on the drop down arrow and select it and apply or ok the settings. The other thing to try is when in the game select your joystick as the main controller and save the...

    WC4 DVD - XP Issues

    Well I've got the game running but my joystick (USB) isn't working in the game. I can calibrate it in windows, I've enabled it in the option (in game) and tried differant windows compatability settings. I'm going to tamper with that file for the DVD playback (that comes with a slider) and see...

    WC4 DVD - XP Issues

    I'M THE MAN! I've finally cracked it! :D It was the AC3 filiter I had installed! I remember from my testing last night that when the AC3 filiter wasn't installed the game was somwhat differant, so I thought I would try uninstalling it and see what happened, I had nothing to lose...

    WC4 DVD - XP Issues

    Ok I tired it on my other machine but I got the same problems, the only difference was that rather then the game going straight to the intro it went to the load/save game screen. I did actually run the game without the MPEG2 codec, I didn’t see any of the cut scenes no hear the dialogue but I...

    WC4 DVD - XP Issues

    I tried moving the mouse but that done nothing. The only time I have had audio option is when I've uninstalled the MPEG2 codecs but then I don't gey any video, that's why I thought using a different codec might help but it hasn't (I’ve tried 3 now). I've been through all of Gulikoza patches...

    WC4 DVD - XP Issues

    Ok I let the DVD play through the intro, I got to the part where the guys asks for a drink, when it freezes just as the dialogue options are meant to appear but I don't get of the options. I could get the options when I didn't have the MEPG2 codec installed but I couldn't play the video, now...

    WC4 DVD - XP Issues

    Good point, it didn't occur to me it could be the codec. I'll give it a try when I get home.

    WC4 DVD - XP Issues

    I managed to get it working. I done as advised but it still failed to work, I could play the movies in VLC player but VLC is a closed media player and has it's own codecs, it then occurred to me I didn't have an proper MPEG2 codec anywhere on my computer. So then a few choice words into...
