--- Comment #11 from Roberto blackfire@blackfiregames.com 2010-04-07 18:02:00 --- Hi! Sorry to barge in the disscussion uninvited.
My name is Roberto Koci, the creator of "Alien Dominion: The Acronian Encounter". I see you guys have problem with the starforce protection system. :o)
Well, I can help you with this: A.D. does not use starforce. :o)
Here are quotes from the log file I find suspicious:
err:alsa:ALSA_CheckSetVolume Could not find 'PCM Playback Volume' element err:alsa:ALSA_CheckSetVolume Could not find 'PCM Playback Volume' element err:alsa:ALSA_CheckSetVolume Could not find 'PCM Playback Volume' element fixme:mixer:ALSA_MixerInit No master control found on HDA ATI HDMI, disabling mixer fixme:mixer:ALSA_MixerInit No master control found on Logitech EasyCall Speakerphone, disabling mixer
and later:
***************************************** *** --- Initialising OgreOggSound --- *** *** --- OgreOggSound v1.11 --- *** ***************************************** bt_audio_service_open: connect() failed: Connection refused (111) bt_audio_service_open: connect() failed: Connection refused (111) bt_audio_service_open: connect() failed: Connection refused (111) bt_audio_service_open: connect() failed: Connection refused (111)
A.D. uses OpenAL for sound output, and it looks it can't initalize it. Right after that last line quoted of the log file I see the engine is starting the deinit process, so I'm sure that is the problem.
Make sure that the OpenAL installs itself when the AD installer is finishing. I set it to silent mode, so to make sure it works you need to manually run it's installer from the "Alien dominion install folder"\Redist\OpenAL\oalinst.exe.
Hope this helps. And if not, we can look further. Feel free to contact me at blackfire@blackfiregames.com.
Once you get this running, you are free to popularize "Alien Dominion" a bit. Maybe post a nice comment about it on some forums. :o)
Sincerely, Roberto Koci CEO of Black Fire Games
P.S. first time I saw the log file (I found that first) I was thinking that you were hackers trying to crack my game... hehehehe! Yeah, keeping a close eye on those guys, need to protect myself...
