EAX & WinXP == Horrible Framerate

[Shahin82]

My problem:

 

The game runs fine in Win98 and EAX is great.

But in Windows XP EAX is terrible. It sounds great

but the game suffers a HUGE performance loss, especially

when multiple weapons fire is involved. The game is virtually

inplayable with EAX on because of this.

 

Anyone know what this is about?

I thought it might have something to do with the IRQ sharing in Win XP OR perhaps the SBLive drivers?

 

By the way I have a problem in 98 as well...the game displays an orange screen now and then it doesn't go away unless I press ESC to get to the menus and then back again.

Any suggestions?

 

Thanks

Which SB card are you using?

I have the same issue with XP and Audigy - it gets choppy when EAX is on during what I think are environment transitions. Once it's off the game is smooth as silk. I've only done a minimal amount of tweaking.
