RD Grid - Hardware Accel greyed out?

KnightStalker · 14 Aug 2008 at 03:28

Dont know if this has been asked before, did search for the obivous titles of threads but nothing came up..

Just flicking through the options of Grid i noticed Hardware Acceleration for Sound is greyed out, which i dont understand.

Sound card ive got is a X-Fi Xtreme Music..anyone else got the same thing and anyone know of a fix.

Dont know if its the same for the X-FI Music, but with the Gamer and Fatality cards you need to be in "game " mode for it to work.

I have the Music and can confirm that this is indeed the case.

Have a look at the X-Fi mode changer via the link below. Great little app.

yeah this is an issue with most of the new games ive played with the x-fi, i guess many features are changed between the differant modes, although i hear no real differance between entertainment and games mode

i know people probably wont see this, but i can hope lol as i dont want to start another Grid topic...

Ive got a G25, and unlike most games this is a pain to setup...ive got everything setup perfectly apart from 1 thing....that really annoys me..
900 Degree's will not work at all. Ive had this wheel for a year almost and every driving game is either 720 or 900..going back to 100 is like whats the point of this wheel. Is there something im doing wrong as i cant figure this out at all.
