Beneath A Steel Sky CD32 WHDLoad loading times
« on: July 15, 2006, 10:00:59 AM »
When I run the WHDLoad installed CD32 version of Beneath A Steel Sky, there is a short gap between each speech sample. The background music and animation stops while it is presumably loading the next sample.

Fortunately I have loads of Fast RAM, so I turned on preload and the problem went away (samples now play smoothly). However, this means the game takes about 5 minutes to loads. Any ideas what I can do?

Thanks Angus. I think I'll leave the preload option on as I would rather wait a few minutes and then play the game smoothly.

Ahhhh I see! That would explain why it doesn't happen on an actual CD32. Thanks for the explanation :-)
