thanatos Posted July 6, 2001 Report Posted July 6, 2001 Ran across this on one of the video boards concerning DirectX 8. Seems M$ forgot something. Several respondents claim a boost in framerates for some of their games following the fix. quote:Microsoft left debug mode on in 8 and 8a for Direct sound. That is eating up cpu cycles from hell having that on, not to mention software/hardware conflicts that can create. Well I hope this helps some people. This will cure many alements. Extract to Windows/System then go to Control Panel click on the Dx applet go to the Direct sound tab and slide the debug slider all the way to the left <<<<< to disable debug mode. It will work w/ 8.1 but I believe debug is off w/ that version. Microsoft rememberd to check. http://www.gamevoiceclub.com/Download/dxapplet.zip Interesting......................... don't know about increasing framerates in BCM, but won't cost anything to give it a whirl (other than crashing and burning your PC, of course).[ 07-06-2001: Message edited by: thanatos ]
