Csi

[lazarusthefirst]

Ubisoft CSI Crime Scene Investigation:

Win XP Pro SP2, 1 gig ram, XP 1800+cpu, 64mb nvidia vid card, onboard audio, 120 gig HD (80 gig free space) 52 speed cdrom, dvd, latest directx installed, latest shockwave and quicktime installed.

Young grandson has bought the game above, legit version before anyone asks, it installs no problem and loads up with sound but a white square where graphics should be. I checked it out for him on my computer and it seems he needs a sound card for the game to run properly. He has onboard sound on his mobo, I have the same on mine and get the same problem.
Anyone know of a patch to overcome the soundcard problem, or if the other CSI games have the same soundcard requirement to run, perhaps it can be exchanged for another CSI game.
Pretty poor programming when lots of computers are now sold with onboard sound.

Contact the games Technical Support. They will let you know what to do and if there is a patch available.

Thread moved to 'General Gaming' forum. (Your problem has nothing to do with with 'PC Game Backups'.)

Your specs of the machine look ok to play the game, I dont think your sound card is causing the graphical problem.


Is your GFX card drivers upto date?


Then again, it is a shockwave game so there could be a problem with your shockwave installation and/or Internet Explorer

Integrated sound cards are of extremely poor quality (and thus compatibility), don't expect them to behave as well as a 50-100 USD stand-alone sound card!

I have an integrated sound card I know this cards are not go as having an nono integrated card but I haven't never had any problem like that with the game you should check all your drivers, windows patches are updated
