Crash with Prey.exe

[lexa06]

Hello,

I'm having the following error message :confused: at the start up of the program :

AppName: prey.exe AppVer: 1.0.0.1 ModName: openal32.dll
ModVer: 5.10.2937.0 Offset: 000086ac

I'm running prey on :
AMD XP 2600+
1024 mo ddr
HDD 80 Go seagate
Motherboard : MSI 6570 K7NG2-L nforce 2 igp (integrated sound card)
video : Palit 6800GS 256 mo AGP (nvidia 84.43 drivers)
Windows XP SP2

If anyone has the same message, please post here and if someone knows how to fix it, he is welcome :love: :love: :love: !!!

Alright, my guess is XFi Soundcard?
"openal32.dll"

Go to creative.com and get the new BETA Xfi Driver which supports OpenAl 1.1

have I to update my sound card driver even if it's not creative ???
My soundcard is nvidia nforce2 .

Make sure your nForce drivers are up to date. You can also try getting the latest openal from openal.org.

you were right, I have update nvidia audio drivers and now it's fine !!! thanks a lot, this game is really fun !!

But I have an other question, maybe you know about : after 15 mn playing I have a terrible headache like the refresh rate is 60 hz, is it possible to change this to 85 hz ?

Some Googling tells me that you might be able to add the line "seta r_displayRefresh "85"" to your Prey config file in order to achieve the effect you want. You can also typically force the refresh via your video card's drivers or via third party applications. Post back here to let us know if the r_displayRefresh thing works.

it "seems" that editing cfg file works for me. Refresh rate is normal now !!!

[TerminX]

Great; be sure to post about any other issues you encounter.

Last thing about the demo, my mouse sensibility is not sufficient ie I need to make big moves to focus on differents points of the screen.
Is it possible to change this in game ?

[MichaelLong]

Yes, from the main menu, go to Options, Game Options, and select the Feel tab. There is a slider for controlling mouse sensitivity there.

Thanks again !

Hello,

when i start Prey, I'm having the following error message :

AppName: prey.exe AppVer: 1.0.0.1 ModName: openal32.dll
ModVer: 5.10.2937.0 Offset: 000086ac

I went here : www.openal.org and i download "OpenAL 1.1 Installer for Windows" but when i want to install it, it say : Some OpenAl files were in use -- a reboot will be required to complete installation.

I restarted my computer and it didn't want to install. I tried too in safe mode but it is similar.

My computer :

AMD XP 2600+
1024 mo ddr
Motherboard : NFII Ultra-AL - nForce2 MCP (integrated sound card)
GeForce 4 6600 Gt

Thx.

[lexa06]

update your sound card drivers : nforce audio 4.62 on the nvidia website.
It will work fine !

[kermit]

Thx, it's good ;)
