Single Player: Can't listen to conversations through laptops

Post » Mon Jan 31, 2011 3:29 am

Hi all.
Besides the terribad flickering issues with multi GPU, I have but one quarrel with this excellent game.

I cannot seem to select and use the green glowing laptops. I bought this game yesterday after having tried the leaked version two months ago and I had the same issue there but dismissed it as being thanks to it not being finished, however the issue remains through to retail.

I have seen videos of other players selecting and using these laptops and getting conversations played through their speakers, but I don't even get the "press F to use" message when looking at the laptops, even though they are highlighted in green.

Anyone else have this issue and have a solution?

Thanks guys and gals.
Rock on.

Update:
I was investigating my single GPU performance, and turned off ATI Catalyst AI and lo and behold, I was able to select the laptop in the first level in the room just beyond where you get the nano suit from prophet.

Strangely enough, this one seems to be related to the plethora of multi-GPU problems.

Anyone have any input?

Shameless bump and also an update.
Running on 1 GPU I get a much more smooth experience and everything seems to be working. I still want to be able to utilise both GPUs on my 4870x2, however, this will do for the time being, especially considering the issues with using 2 GPUs.

I did however notice one more bug. After reloading a game or checkpoint, it seems my mouse bindings stop working. Some of thema anyway. I have mouse 4 bound to melee attack, and after a reload, it just stops working.

Anyone else notice this?
