Hmm, I just noticed the speakers keep reseting to stereo still every time I start the game even though I keep changing them every time to 5.1. :P
Please submit a bug on this. I think we know about it, but just to be safe...
jrd:
Tom, the teenage vamp girl skin was indeed fixed.
Excellent work, and thanks :-)
I can confirm the speaker setting bug. In my case I have to keep resetting them to 4.0
linolino:
yes. same here, have to set the sound settings to 4.0 everytime. whats the difference of 4.0 and 5.1 and stereo anyway? i found out that 4.0 is better for me, but i don't know why.
What is the final exam bug? can someone tell me please?
-------------------------
the patch also did not fixed these:
Inventory: Objects that have gone into the inventory will remain with the shadow problem.
The Mad Cientist missing the job on mondays.
The objects from university (Groovy Dresser and Grease Stands Alone juice bar) still don't allow us to select all of its recolors.
School students still clog the front door of the bus while they open their report card.
Adults that come home from work and do that "i'm home animation" will do it in front of the carpool door, not allowing others to unload from the carpool.
Uni students ruturning home from class and clogging the pedestrian portal.
Terrain Paints beeing forever attached to a lot once clicked.
Sims loosing marriage lines in family tree after the parter dies.
Motoki:
5.1 speakers are 4 speakers (2 front and 2 rear), a center channel speaker and a subwoofer. I believe 4.0 is just the 2 front and 2 rears with no center or subwoofer and stereo is just 2 speakers, a right and a left.
I do actually have a 5.1 speaker setup, and it's set that way in Windows too, but for some reason I guess the game didn't detect it and defaulted to stereo.
jrd:
The basic difference between 4.0 and 5.1 is that 4.0 does not have a special channel for the centre (usually speech) and subwoofer.
If you use an option you do not have in hardware, your system will have to downsample it to what you do have. If I were to pick 5.1, that means all data for the centre and 'woofer would have to be backsampled to the other speakers.
This would not sound as good obviously.
Alas there is no standard way to detect speaker settings (DirectSound does not properly report this, I believe).
Also not fixed by the patch (if this is not WAD): alien abductee spawn does not have the Pollination Technician as a father.
