Aha, seems to be a bug related to my sound in some way, since the ships definetely sound in mono, although other sounds in the game are heard in stereo like people running around and the vulcanic fires, chests and other items. Most peculiar.

I did update my Windows PC to Windows 10 Anniversary update the other day. Hope MS didn't break anything sound related.

This is quite a serious bug because I'm currently in that particular situation in which I have to have a descent score in the space game to get on with the story.

Now, at least, I know theresn't much point in trying my luck at that game until the sound bug is solved somehow.

Thanks,
Tobias

Hi,
I'm trying to get the grips of the unbelievably frustrating space game. First of all, is the sounds of the incoming ships supposed to be in mono, or is that a bug? If it's really supposed to be in mono, how the heck am I supposed to know where the ships are? I've tried to bothtap and long press teh arrow keys to see if I can hear any difference, but with no luck there. Is it like the classic Space Invaders in that you have to move the cannon and then fire vertically upwards or does it actually aim two-dimentionally when you press teh arrows?

Confusion is the way to enlightenment, as they say.

Thanks,
Tobias

Hi Tobias.

this is most odd. When I played the space game, I heard the ships in sterrio on either the left or right, and as with pretty much every audio space invaders game since the year dot, the objective is just to center each ship and blast it before it lands.

You do this by tapping the arrow keys to move your gun to below where the ship is (center it's sound), and then hitting enter or space to shoot. Holding the arrows won't work in this one, actually it reminded me a little of the air hockey from paladin of the skies.

Certainly the ships appear in sterrio, I don't know why you are hearing them in mono, unless it's your speakers or headphones, I was playing on headphones myself and had no problem.

I will say you need to get good at the game, or at least be passable since there is an area later that requires you to get a reaasonable score to progress.

Hth.

Dark.
