Status: offline 		Hello, I've recently tried to install this game again after failing a year or so ago. I discovered ToS:WS from watching GrimithR on teh youtubes, and thought "This is awesome! I'm gonna try this out." Well, it seems that my computer never liked this game (Like alot of others.)

I'm a running a 32bit Windows vista. Here's a Log report:

CC [Fri Mar 29 20:50:54 2013]
Error while initializing/loading AVI-File <Error initializing video decompressor!>: images/MatrixGames.avi

CC [Fri Mar 29 20:50:54 2013]
Error while initializing/loading AVI-File <Error initializing video decompressor!>: images/TOS_Intro.avi

Also, before this, the game would freeze horribly during each song, and would minimize out after each song. If I tried to move my cursor, my computer's tower would beep at me like a machinegun.(a strange error message my computer says to me alot.)

Set

[TOS_WS_GENERAL]
music_at_all = no
intro_at_all = no

Status: offline 		Still freezes. And let me clarify, I can move my mouse while it's "frozen", but I can't click anything, and the F**K*** Beeping! Below is my entire tcc:

[system]
keyboard = data/configs/us.cfg


[TOS_WS_SOUND]
#--- SFX ---
hq_snd_volume = 8
hq_snd_volume_default = 8
factory_snd_volume = 8
factory_snd_volume_default = 8
battle_snd_volume = 8
battle_snd_volume_default = 8
tcc_snd_volume = 8
tcc_snd_volume_default = 8

#--- Music ---
hq_music_volume = 3
hq_music_volume_default = 3
factory_music_volume = 3
factory_music_volume_default = 3
battle_music_volume = 3
battle_music_volume_default = 3
tcc_music_volume = 3
tcc_music_volume_default = 3

#--- Themes ---
hq_theme = 4
hq_theme_default = 4
hq_theme_loop = 1
hq_theme_loop_default = 1
factory_theme = 3
factory_theme_default = 3
factory_theme_loop = 1

tcc_theme = 2
tcc_theme_default = 2
tcc_theme_loop = 1
tcc_theme_loop_default = 1
number_of_themes = 0

[TOS_WS_GRAPHICS]
# Screen Mode 0=Window, 1=Fullscreen
screen_mode = 1
screen_mode_default = 1
screen_mode_range = 3
bitmap_depth = 0
bitmap_depth_default = 2
resolution = 3


[TOS_WS_BATTLE]

titan_anim_default = 1
sprite_speed = 1
sprite_speed_default = 1
message_delay = 1
message_delay_default = 1
message_detail = 2
message_detail_default = 2
player_name = Playername
ip_address = 192.168.0.1
battle_hq_ip = N/A


[TOS_WS_HQ]


[TOS_WS_FACTORY]


[TOS_WS_TCC]


[TOS_WS_GENERAL]
keyboard = 0
keyboard_default = 0
sound_at_all = yes
music_at_all = no
intro_at_all = no

Strangely, there's no report in the Logfiles.
I've looked through my computer, and there's no mention of the freeze/crash/whatever. >=I

Status: offline 		Are you running v1.2.2 ?

First try to set compatibility mode of tos_ws.exe to Windows XP SP3. This may fix the problem.

If this does not work try window mode.

If running 1.2.2 you can also disable ambient sound streaming by setting ambient_at_all = no in the [TOS_WS_BATTLE] section of tcc.cfg config file.

Let me know your results.
