Afterlife

What works

The game works absolutely perfectly except for the sound.  I finished the game without trouble.

What does not

Music works fine, but audio often cuts out when a voice is played.  All sounds stop at that point.  Sometimes they come back after 5 to 60 minutes (no joke), but not always.

Workarounds:

• restart game
• change Mixer channels = 1 in alife.ini, but you will lose out on all the interesting and important non-music sounds
• wait for the sound to "jolt" itself back into proper working order.  when this happens, a bunch of queued sounds that got stuck are suddenly played at once.

Additional Comments

Installation instructions: 1) copy the following files to c:/alife (or where ever you want) alife.000 alife.exe alife.ini *.asc (if you want the scenarios) 2) edit alife.ini so that it looks like the following: Resolution = MAX Resource file = ALIFE.000 CD Path = ALIFE.000 Save games = C:\ALIFE Window name = Afterlife Mixer channels = 8 Color depth = Dont Care Heap size = 7000 Music stream = 200000, 150000, 32000 Voice stream = 65000, 48000, 22000 Installation = Full - change C:\ALIFE to where ever you installed the game - MAX resolution basically means "full screen", whatever your native resolution is (e.g. 1920x1200) - notice that there is no apostrophe in "Dont Care"
