Spy Hunter LIVES! But it's HUMMING along, Please HELP!!!
Vic Laurel
Also, another thing I noticed is that the Hum is Regardless of Volume.
And just barely touching the test switch sets the game into that weird 'Rug
Pattern' like a lockup.
Also, I make some changes to the default settings, left the game, tried
again, and the settings were there. I left the game idle for about 10-15
minutes, and now they're gone.
Any ideas?
Thanks, I'm so close I just want this thing running great!
