Rapid sound repetition and strange graphics glitches

[Someone64]

I tried adjusting the graphics settings but to no avail. This keeps happening on all maps. Shows up mostly on the bottom right but may appear elsewhere.



It likes to render a clone of the map in weird places.

Also, I keep getting rapid audio repetitions every once in a while (meaning every 5-10 seconds or so) where the audio repeats rapidly while progressively getting towards the end of the sound.

I have a Nvidia geforce 440 gt and corsair vengeance 1500 along with its driver. None of this ever happened in 94.

(The console at the top with the lua widget info is because I was testing if any of my widgets were causing audio problems because there was one before that removed sound and caused more strange behavior.)

EDIT: Oh, forgot to mention. I'm using an AMD Athlon II X3 450 processor.

What mod?

What are the conditions of your bug(what are you doing to see this)?

Is it just that map or all?

Post infolog?

Are your audio and video drivers up to date?

dont remember where i read it but think the "double map" bug is from some water setting.
try typing into chat: /water 0

/edit
hm no, maybe see this instead:

That FAQ is quite outdated I think, but have you tried this:

The Sound is crackling/pausing in Windows, what can i do?
Try:
Update the sounds driver
Enable SystemSoundsService in Vista/Seven

I think the most important part is to try to locate your infolog.txt, it has a lot of technical information needed to troubleshoot these kinds of issues. The easiest way is to search your computer for infolog.txt and grab the most recently modified one. Then paste the contents on a site like http://www.pastebin.com and link it back here. Or you can also attack the file here I think.

As you mention about the sound problem, do you mean that the sound keeps repeating itself like a stuck CD/Vinyl for a brief while? I have to say I have the same issue sometimes. I noticed that I had a Max Sound = 28 in spring settings, maybe that is too low. Start Spring.exe and select Edit Settings to edit that.

Yeah double map means dynamic water is on. Knorke is right, do /water 0.

Okay, so my map problem is fixed. The sound problem I'm having though isn't crackling and pausing. it's repeating rapidly. It repeats the start section of the sound played about 10-60 times then moves on to a later section of the sound and does the same. Every so often I will have normal sounds. There is nothing in the console but bugs from an lua widget that I have turned off due to incompatibility with Spring 95 (com name tags). Sometimes the sound would repeat the very start (brief silent moment) of the sound giving me the impression that it's not making any sounds at all.

EDIT: sorry, I skimmed over jool's post. will try.

EDIT2: max sound is on the highest setting possible. still nothing.

EDIT3: I noticed that the sound problem reduced al little after fixing the graphical problem. I also noticed that the more I opened the game the less it happened. It still happens occasionally though but it's not as bad. BTW, I've been noticing that a lot of my widgets have been causing deprecated field errors... I don't want to let go of any of my widgets but if it means enhancing my spring experience then I will. The only problem is that I have to search my widgets 1 by 1 like I did earlier today to see which one is giving the error and I have about more than a hundred of them. Maybe 200... Is there any way to track down which one it is? the console and logs aren't giving me much to work with...

Well, start by telling us what game you play. And infolog would help.

you have tried rebooting your pc, right?
