Server freezes up during sound

Post by dsdude »

1) Does HLDJ launch the game correctly for you? yes
2) Does "HLDJ Loaded Successfully" appear in console on starting the game (with no errors)? yes
3) What is the console output after selecting a song, or issuing other HLDJ commands such as "hldj_next"? not sure
4) After loading one of the sample audio files, perform a search of your Steam directory (without stopping HLDJ) for the file "voice_input.wav" - does it show up, and if so, where?not sure yet
5) Does voice normally work for you? If not, or you do not have a mic, have you remembered to set up any applicable options in your OS and/or the game? yes

Guys, everytime I play my song, it will work for a few seconds until the whole server freezes and I have to exit out and come back in. Why does this happen? Thanks, much appreciated.

Test with the sample audio files. Take a look at the dual core fix.

Renegade, where's the dual core fix? I don't see the sticky anywhere.

It's in the "Read this before posting" link at the top of every page.

None of it worked for me, and I have a Intel processor with 2 cpus, if that helps.

Basically, everytime I start up the music, in like 5 seconds everything stutters and froze and I have to disconnect from the server and reconnect.

The console doesn't show anything, and they allow music, so I'm not sure what is the problem. I literally tried everything.

Do you have any idea at all what could cause this problem?

It's either the audio file, the game, or your system. If you hear others playing music, then it's most likely the latter, in which case you should try setting processor affinity, look for system/driver updates and/or google around for your problem on the net.
