X2 messed up audio announcements? - Resolved.
I've had my fun with X2 for a long time now.
Yesterday I tried to install it to another computer of mine which runs on Windows 7.
I followed the instructions here, and I got it to work beautifully, except for one thing:
The audio announcements do not make sense.
For example, I target a factory or something, and the announcements starts to say something about space weed. Or I use the autopilot and the game plays a short audio excerpt from a video sequence with Elena K.
I tried to find some other post but looks like I am the first with this problem.
Any ideas? On my other computer it works totally fine.

A couple of things come to my mind:
- A damaged or missing 00044.pck file, which links the (English) main text file and voice recordings file. The file is stored inside the catalog files,
- A damaged English voice recording file (00144.dat). The file is stored within the game folder in the "mov"-subfolder. Whereby this is rather unlikely, since a damaged file couldn't probably played at all.
- Maybe a codec problem. Some audio codecs may interfer with the ones X2 uses.
To rule out any installation and patching problems an easy solution would be copying the whole X2: The Threat folder from your first to your second PC running Windows 7. If the problem persists, then a codec problem would be more likely.

If you've applied the updates from Egosoft's download page, you shouldn't have to start from any CD. The 1.4 no-copy-protection patch removes Starforce, which isn't very compatible with Win 7 anyway.
Here's a link to the patches: http://www.egosoft.com/download/x2/patches_en.php
