Can't start any missions

[soopytwist]

Including the training mission, most of them just return to the objectives screen after the loading bar is full or just hang on the load screen.

St Lucia on the other hand says to press "Attack" to start, which is Left Mouse button but nothing happens. Tried pressing all the keys and nothing happens.

 

So far this is just fancy front end where nothing happens.

Is your install directory named "darkmod" all lower case?

 

Have you tried disabling SLI?

Make sure EAX is turned off.

[soopytwist]

Yeah it was EAX, thanks Springheel. Any workaround for this? I know Creative soundcards and Windows 7 don't exactly get along together. A lot of older games I end up having to use ALchemy. Can I use this to enable working EAX in the Dark Mod?

 

EDIT

 

The Dark Mod uses the Doom 3 engine right? Doom 3 version 1.3 added OpenAL support negating the need to use ALchemy (ALchemy is only needed for DirectSound3D). So by that rationale The Dark Mod should work with EAX on Windows Vista/7/8.

Someone more knowledgable than me will have to chime in on that.

[soopytwist]

I could probably guess what ALchemy settings to use if I had a reference to go by. Someone name me some Doom 3 engine games, might be a start.
