ive got the same bug...
what to do?!

do you have an audio problem? I had the audio bug and fixing it solved the mission 3 problem. It's been posted at least twice in this forum already. Look for "audio fix" or something.

I have seen this problem asked about several times here, and also
on usenet. However, no one ever mentions a fix. Mission 3, rescuing
Willard. I have no read at least five accounts of this crash that are
identical to mine.

Several people ask if this is related to the *very* prevalant sound
problems so many have had. None of the accounts I have read
mention cut scene problems, or audio codec version problems. Now,
maybe there is a cut scene here I never get to see, but is being loaded
when my machine crashes?

Anyone who has had this problem solve it? I mean really solve the
problem without re-installing your os? I would actually like to know
what the problem *is* not just erase it.

Same problem as all the above. Have not had a "sound problem" as such. Only problem I find with sound is that the charachters voices are out of sync (if that IS the "sound problem" then whoops, I should have read the other posts first ;P )
Anyhow, I am stuck at mission 3 as well and am getting pretty pissed. So far Ive gone back 2 saves to the start of the Convoy Excort mission and still no joy. Then I re installed the game but no joy from that. Finally I un installed the entire game, save files n all (made a back up of my saves) and re installed complete, still nuthin. Anyone have a fix that actually works for this thing?

Just tried the Sound Fix from the thread above (the one with 86 posts in it). Still not workin

In reply to El_KuLeBrA...been there, done that. Rammed one of the ships for over 10 mins before I realised how long it was going to take to kill all 3. As a side note, you can normally shoot one of the ships approx. 4 times (I used stun pulse to kill off shields) and then I started ramming. After about 10 odd minutes of ramming, I had taken off approx. 1/4 of the enemy hulls health.

Anyhow, I tried the sound fix on the CD Readme. At first, after a restart, there was no change. I came back after the weekend away and whaddya know? It works!
