Possible Fix for ingame freeze

Hi all.
I installed the game for the first time 1week ago. I use the newest patch and after a few missions the ingame freezing occured.(Im using XP)
After checking a few forums and the suggestions there i have to say… it is not a codec problem!
All codecs are fine like for the most people who have this problem! It has something to do with DirectX. In the FLux.ini is an listing while the game engine loads.
It is like > “Direct7” initializing “sound”. (This is not the exact text but it gave me a clue)
What i did is… I am using the XP emulationprogramm for WIN98 on the Game EXE. I was hoping that this might fix the DirectX problem.

I just played 2 missions whit a lot of dialog(In Act1 with the Gunstars for Hoffers Wake)
and i had no problems. 🙂
The only drawback.. when i leave the game it takes about 2 minutes and the computer looks like it is frozen.(it shows: loading and then i have to wait)
But this is no problem for me. Since now i can play whitout freezing ingame.

I hope if you people try this you have the same luck like i.
Greetings to all.
