anyone haveing problems with sound? lag when playing with more then 2 riders, even just computer riders? my sound cuts out, go's bonkers i was playing on the gamespy with some peeps and was getting lagged so bad i had to quit. I really think this game at this point in time is a step backwards in many ways...

Thanks for the replies but i don't have any spyware, I use Norton 06, Run microsofts beta version, have Spybot and also lavasoft adware, I am speaky clean, I even disabled norton thinking that was it and no go, I have nothing running on my task bar and nothing unnessarly running in the background to loaded at startup.

For some reason I am really thinking the sound card, just because its freezes usually after the sound starts going, What do ya think??

Oh yeah, for anyone who wants to know about the stuff running in your background, look at all the task manger programs running then cross reference them to this site, then either disable or allow throgh services......   http://www.answersthatwork.com/Tasklist_pages/tasklist.htm

With MCM i used to dual boot with 98 se, just because i didn't have any problems with mcm with 98 se, and with xp i did. I think I have narrowed it down to a sound problem thats causeing the freezeing, I was just playing it again with less computer players and I heard a high pitch wind noise, then the sound started breaking up, then it froze on me so... i dunno yet.....

I am haveing problems with crashing, sometimes I will be playing and for no apparent reason the game will freeze on me, audio will sometimes mess up from breaking up to a solid beep, almost like a solid post beep. The game will freeze up to the point where I have to alt tab out, then restart the comp to get it to work again, only to have it freeze up again.

My system
XP pro
SP 2
Direct X, newest ver
2.93 ghz
1 G ram ddr
256 mb Radeon 9550
POS sound card, but not on board


any suggestions??? Thanks

Man I really hope that this game works good with PC, I played it over a freinds house on Playstation and I wasn't too thrilled about it, the bike didn't seem to work as well with the game, the graphics were alsome, tracks were fun, something just didn't seem rite about the way the bike worked.. maybe its me being anal,    but I really can't wait for it to hit stores and hopefully be up and going with rooms to play it in with others......
