Would had been so nice if Aya was raped by the hunters from another angle, though. However, the parasite part was good, at least.

I thought it was kinda "MEH" to be honest.

you can turn the sound back on once you have loaded your save. to clarify:

here is how you play Hounds of the Blade on Windows 8/8.1

1. right-click the little speaker at the bottom-right of your screen, then click "Playback Devices". a "Sound" window will open.
2. right-click the white space, then click "Show Disabled Devices".
3. right-click an enabled sound device, then click "Disable". if you have a headset or second set of speakers or something, you'll have to disable those too.
4. keeping the "Sound" window open, run the game.
5. ignore the thing saying "no sound device has been detected"; go through the main menu normally to start a new game or load a saved game.
6. after loading completely, go back to the "Sound" window and re-enable your sound devices. it will sound shitty because it is being forced to use your motherboard's makeshift driver instead of the real ones windows will normally download for you, but it's better than nothing.

and no this will not affect any other part of your computer. well, if you have music playing in another window, it'll stop and you'll have to re-open that program, but that's all.

Guess you already tried with classic format and install. If not worked then you probably have an UEFI bios with win8. You need to disable UEFI and enable legacy boot from your mobo's bios or you can't install win7 then format win8 partition (even the backup one if there is any) then install win7.

Re: Hounds Of The Blade

might try and find my old lap top i know it's in the cupboard some where it has either windows 7 or xp so i'll give it a shot before missing with this one.

Re: Hounds Of The Blade

I played it on Win8. You need to disable audio devices and re-enable them back when the game starts.

 

[DrJackel666]

Re: Hounds Of The Blade

I did that but i'll try it again seeing thats how bad I wanna play this game.

 

[textbook703]

Re: Hounds Of The Blade

[DrJackel666]

Re: Hounds Of The Blade

Thats too much work DUDE.
I only tweak my dmsynth.dll and play HOTB without error on loading.

Re: Hounds Of The Blade

Yeah, but messing with .dll files is more risky for noobs like me.

well not dude. its very safe.
the only problem is you can't tweak it, if you don't know how.

Open the DLL in notepad, change a few character. Yes, you're are not safe if you don't know what your doing. It's another thing if the DLL in question isn't a shared one, then you can just go bonkers
