Resident Evil Problems

[mrdfuller]

Hi all,

I'm running Resident Evil: Directors Cut (only game at the moment)

I'm pretty new to all this so bare with me, ok so i've set everything up and its all running smoothly, however, with regards to sound it seems to be fine except from the dialogue, so doors opening footsteps etc are all fine but I can't hear anything from the people when they're talking. Any ideas?

On a separate note i've set up the controller and although moving and action is all working fine for some reason I cant shoot, it would normally be R1+O but there just isnt any response from the game.

Any answers would be appreciated

Thanks.

Have you tried using the Eternal sound plugin?

And isn't it R1+X to attack?

Ok scratch the controls issuse, I found that it actually helps if you equip a weapon before using and no I havn't used it any ideas as to where to get it?

On a separate note the graphics seem to be a little choppy on the cutscenes however in game it seems to be fine

Thanks for the above

So I'm having a different problem with RE directors cut.
When I start the game it runs fine but durring game play and cut sceans the sound and graphics become choppy.
I have tried all the major plugins mentioned on this site for graphics, sound and cd, with various settings on each.
Currently my settings are:

you could probably turn some of the settings up with your system

These settings work perfectly. (Pete's OpenGL2 Driver 2.8 and Eternal SPU Plugin 1.41). BTW I'm running off a homemade ISO of the UK PAL version of the game.

Feel free to add on some filtering, etc to the graphics plugin to make it look better. But these work for sure.

Hey thanks a bunch those settings are great I think it was the direct sound buffer that did it for me I appriciate it a ton. Now I can finally play RE again since my PS is kinda scitzophrenic.

You're welcome.

BTW: (this goes out to everyone) Those settings seem to work wonders in most games. So I'll be recommending them to anyone from now on.
