ok, for one thing OpenGL has GREAT graphics, but terrible backgrounds for me, also I use Pete's DSound for Syphon Filter and sometimes the sound just stops but kinda sqeaks, it'll sometimes kick itself back to normal but most of the time not. This happens for other games too. Please, don't tell me to use Eternal plugin as it just makes crappier sound, choppy. Thanks

Also, I'm gettin Syphon Filter 3 tonight and I need to know what plugins too use and settings, as these problems are prolly in it too.
I'm using Pete's OpenGL 1.60 the settings are:

Accurate CD rom timing activated ? .... you dont need this for SF3 ... use the internal spu plugin maybe this help you with the sound problem

try using extended filtering insteand the extended + Smoothed sprites ... you can also try using screen smoothing

I should have worded that better, backgrounds are smooth with the characters, just in game menu's are real crap, I'll try those settings thanks

Chris2002 · April 14th, 2002, 02:06

thanks man! the extended sprites thing seemes to have worked, I ticked SPU IRQ off in the sound window also to hopefully help the sound prob,
