I see a few people every now and then that "timed out" when joining my server .. im betting they either don't have NS installed properly or don't have latest HL patch.
I have a good friend Ryno that is desperately trying to join my server. I remoted into his computer to verify that the HL, patches and NS is installed correctly first. It's all good. I then made a shortcut to connect to my server and watched it join. I turned on the net slider so I could tell it was communicating with the server. On the server console "ryno connected to server" Just as the console starts to move out of the way and show the game *boom* crash to windows.
the error is something like this (going from memory here)
hl has caused errors in fmod.dll
I did some extensive searching and it seems that file has something to do with 3d audio ?? So I start eyeballing his cheesy gateway computer onboard sound card. I first notice that the driver is from 2000 so we upgrade that .. no luck. I run dxdiag and it crashes out. I re-install directx for ME and reboot. Now the dxdiag.exe is completely gone ! wtf ?
I re-install dx again and the dxdiag.exe is back lol and it works. Everything is in check sound hardware acceleration is turned off.
we try the game again.. same thing.
He's able to play other games like soldier of fortune II etc.. just fine.
I tried to get him to join a regular HL valve game to see if it's a HL issue but he didn' want to update to find a hl server.
I did get him to host his own HL valve game and that worked.
We called it a night at this point. Has anyone seen this error or have a fix ?
