F.E.A.R problems.

[TestedAcorn]

I am unable to play the game when i have sound enabled in the FEAR config. I am not using any sound card at all, just integrated. I have drivers for everything. This is my only problem, does anyone know how to fix it. First when i played it, it let me play for about 10-15 minutes, everything was going smoothly, then I crashed. Now i can't even start the game without crashing unless I disable sound. Please help.

Have you tried turning EAX/Hardware Accelerated Sound off in the FEAR audio options?

 

[TestedAcorn]

I can't get into the game to do that, but when i start it up with no sound, all of the EAX and stuffed is off and is grayed out.

Try using the Config exe (which I assume you've been using to turn off sound) and just turn off Hardware Sound instead of all sound.

Tried that, doesn't work

EDIT: just figured out that eax.dll is causing the error.

Okay, I read up. Definitely replace the EAX.dll in your install directory with a newer version, and if that doesn't work, disable Hardware Sound and Sound Filters with Config.exe.

Yeah i deleted it and just got the newer one like at 6:00pm, been working ever since.

Where did you get EAX.DLL from?

A google seach only brings up a bunch of ancient versions.
