I don't yet know if this solved my saves issue, but I tried using IndirectSound, and this time it ran! Then I set DeviceName to 'Generic Hardware' and I got surround sound.ĭSOAL still doesn't work though. So I got this tool called 'xlive emulator' and dropped it in the binaries folder, which disables the GFWL interface and stores saves in a local folder. It wasn't consistent, but it seemed like each time I started GoW for the first time in any given day, my saves and user setting would just be gone. The game kept losing my checkpoints and saved games. I found a solution, while trying to fix another issue. I'm assuming that anything positional gets disabled (you can still hear music, ambient noise, UI bleeps, and a few other sound effects).īut.
Setting DeviceName to 'OpenAL Soft' mutes all of the dialogue and gunfire sounds.
I didn't see any difference in the 'save info' content, and the results are still the same. Installing OpenAL 1.1 didn't seem to make a difference.
