View Full Version : Love that static...

I was excited about the new release of TS as the older version has some problems with some of my friends' hardware (see post on the TS 1.x thread about darleks :)

Anyway, installed and ran the client/server thing and it seems to work ok.. except for being blasted with static most of the time.

Systems used:
Server: P2-400 /w 256MB RAM running WinXP Pro and cable internet connection.

Mine: Athlon Thunderbird 1400 /w SBLIVE 5.1 DE with latest drivers from Windows Update (2603 if memory serves...)

Friend: AMD K6-2 500 /w Hercules Fortissimo II with 2.03 drivers running WinXP.

Static occurs randomly it seems, but it is especially bad when a game is started (cstrike). Solution is to shut down the client on the machine giving out static, restarting it and rejoining the server. A disconnect/reconnect does not help, TS client MUST be shut down. (Note Wave/DSound output doesn't make a difference)

Does anyone know what to do about this?

Unfortunately, it does nothing... "Do you wish to install DirectX" "Yes" then instantly "Direct X Successfully installed" No files are installed/no reboot etc.

That website you directed me to has win9x/ME/2K but we all run XP. All of us have the latest windows updates. I tried the install with the Win2K version but as I said, no files are changed/installed.

Thanks for your help, I appreciate it. But the problem goes unsolved..... Anyone else?
