I have been having some problems with the sound FX. The non-combat sounds will cut out at certain points in the game. When I load up the game, I get a message saying "Failed to Initialize Direct Sound." I play a lot of games, and have never gotten this message with any others.

Also, as far as suggestions for a patch, I think some beefed up sounds effects would be great. Some simple background music could also be really nice.

Are you talking about Divided Galaxies or the shareware?

Are you getting this message when the Matrix menu comes up or when the actual game is running?

Beefed up sounds, simple background music? You must be joking!

I am talking about Divided Galaxies. I get the error message right after I select "Play Starships Unlimited..." from the startup screen. It says "Failed to initialize Directsound." I am using a Dell PC with a PIII650 and 64MB RAM, purchased in June 2000.

Try running the game directly rather than using the Matrix supplied menu. Just go to the directory where sudg.exe is and double click on it. You can find it by either using the Find function from the startup menu or right click on the Divided Galaxy icon from the startup menu and select Properties. It's probably in the c:\MatrixGames\Starships Unlimited Divided Galaxies folder.

You might as well email me directly at [email]support@apezone.com[/email], it'll go faster.
