DSOUND.dll errors with FH Dune

[Rising Sun]

Hi there,

I've already used the search function and checked in internet via google for a solution, but I didn't find anything for following problem.

I've just installed FH's Dune, and as I want to start it, I straight get an error message:

"Die Ordnungszahl 11 wurde in der DLL "DSOUND.dll" nicht gefunden."

Translated something like:

"The ordinal number 11 was not found in the DLL "DSOUND.dll"."

It's annoying, as I want to play it of course ;)

My System:

AMD Athlon XP 2800+

2 x 512 MB Infineon RAM

2 x 120 GB IBM HDD

Creative Labs SB Live! 5.1

GeForce FX 5600

Is your video card software up to date?

Try disabling antivirus software before playing.

Although I have no real idea as to how to fix it.

[Rising Sun]

got the nVidia Detonator 61.77 official driver on,

and the latest SB Live! driver

haven't got an AV on, recently deinstalled it for Dune Emperor

Your direct music section shows a lot of registry errors.

You may want to try and update directx and run the tests in the directx sound and display tab. See if those registry errors dissapear. It should also fix the issue that your DDI version is to low (currently shows as 7).

Hi there,

thx ;)

I've got directx 9.0b,

and from 9.0c I only heard negative stuff until now.

Don't know how a registry error can cause a dll error, but on the other hand,

it's windows ;)

I'll try updating to 9.0c tonight, and look if it helps :)

[Rising Sun]

well then, I've installed DirectX 9.0c

The DSOUND.dll is also new version now, and FH's Dune works now :)

BUT, after installing DirectX 9.0c, Dune Emperor is fucked up o_O.

So I've deinstalled it, and reinstalled it, updating on 1.09, but it's still fucked up :(

After the intro has been shown, I'm in the main menu.

The button text just shows 2 letters, the letters of the main menu

if I click on a button, I come to the next window, and the buttons there shows the name (the first letters) of that menu, more not. all buttons.

I'll try to make a screenshot tomorrow, so you can see, what I mean ;)

Any idea in the mean time someone?

Try the omega drivers from www.omegacorner.com

[Rising Sun]

hi

the omega drivers are too "old".

I need a 6x.xx detonator driver for Doom III, with older drivers Doom III is unplayable :(

I found a directX deinstall tool, so I'll deinstall dx9.0c, install dx9.0b

and overwrite the 9.0b dsound.dll with the 9.0c one ;)

just to try, hope it'll function :)

[Rising Sun]

back again, with the screenies ;)

well, now I got DX9.0b again,

FH Dune can start, no sound error comes up

Dune emperor is like written above some how weird,

and FH dune is weird the whole time already, concerning graphics.

The first to (as seen) is emperor with the prob,

then following 3 FH Dune screenies.

already the start intro is bad, and later the complete game is like

on the 3rd screenie.

That red on the left side only turned up in that particular level,

the background isn't nice at all, looks like graphic errors.

I got the nVidia Detonator 66.00 Beta, but it is exactly the same with the

official whql certified detonator 61.77.

anybody got some ideas?

btw: it's not the actual topic anymore, shall I start a new thread, or can an admin rename it?

It looks like it's related to video. Either desktop resolution, refresh rate, or a driver issue.

Could you attach your new dxdiag in a txt format to your reply ? I'm still curious as to what your current DDI version says (at the video driver section). If you have DirectX 9.X, it should state 9 or higher (or at least 8)...

Now that you got rid of the sound error message, have you tried re-installing the game (FH's dune) ?

[Rising Sun]

hi,

yes, just reinstalled it again, but nothing helps.

same as with that weird Dune Emperor prob.

Somehow I don't know what's wrong here :(
