Hi, not a gamebreaker, but a minor annoyance. I have AC3Filter as audio decoder installed on my system.

(see http://ac3filter.net/ for reference)

It seems whenever WITE plays a new sound effect it opens a new instance of it in my taskbar and leaves it open (I can open/adjust every single instance.)

E.g. when starting the game, clicking the mouse (and hearing the corresponding effect) opens it once - more clicking doesn't close add any more, though. Then, e.g. doing airfield bombardments opens it again. Movement, battles etc. all add to it. I noticed it when I alt-tabbed after my first turn in the Road to Minsk scenario (still learning the game) and found half my taskbar occupied by the Status bar.

This is what it looks like after opening a scenario, bombing an airfield, fighting a battle and moving a few units.



All those instances shut down propely when I close WITE. I see no ill effects from this weirdness, but it's kind of irritating.

I have been using AC3 Filter for years on all of my computers...

I have never ever seen this behavior in my 20+ months of WitE testing...

I have disabled the sound folder and the game plays like a dream - except for the friggin' mouse issue which really blows.

Well, I've been using AC3 for years, too, and haven't seen any other app doing this. :)

I did NOT have the issue with V1.00, though, so I'm guessing it's something that happened in the patch.

P.S.: I had sluggish mouse behavior in V1.00, and this has been cleared by the patch. Guess I should just rename the sound folder for now.

Here was happening also with v1.00 and is not exclusive of WitE.

In AC3filter settings uncheck PCM, that setting will post-process all the sounds, and you are done

Ahhh... so that's what the "Sytass" was using... good catch...

BTW, I never thought of configuring "AC3 Filter" to handle all kind of sounds... I just keep it for surround in movies...
