Critical Error trying to open Safe in Phasmatis' Apartment

Critical Error

Assertion Failed: Playing.Channel [File:D:\prj\clean\Galaxy\Src\UnGalaxy.cpp] [Line: 1897]

History: Start Simple <- Update Sounds <- UGalaxyAudioSubsystem::Update <- UGameEngine::Draw <- UWindowsViewport::Repaint <- UWindowsCleint::Tick <- ClientTick <- UGameEngine::Tick <- XGameEngineExt::Tick <- UpdateWorld <- MainLoop


I had previously installed HDTP and Shifter. I made backups of the files shifter replaces in the system folder and restored them due to another issue I was having that prevented me from even starting the game, but I didn't get far in before I got hit with this.

I run Windows XP, Pentium 2.4 core 2 duo (set to single core for deus ex), Radeon X1650 video card, Soundblaster X-Fi Pro... dunno what else might be relevant.

This a known problem?

As an aside and since this is my first post, the mod seems pretty cool, the lack of voice acting has always prevented me from downloading storyline/total conversion mods but this one seems to be a pretty complete package. Of course I don't know the inside info/jokes with it but the quality is very high.

Oh, and since I can't seem to find an edit button: I did install version 1.0.2, if it'd make a difference.

Why the fuck do you have my old computer's spec?

Hey Jamie, I assume you get this consistently?

The crash is a sound-related engine error. I don't really understand why you'd get it when opening Phas's safe - it does make a sound, but it's not an area with a lot of sounds playing at once. If you keep getting it, the best I can do is recommend you reinstall the whole game (including Deus Ex) and start over. Thankfully you're not that far in, so it shouldn't be too great an inconvenience.

It's possible that the issue is with your sound card, the X-Fi Pro. I don't know if it has any compatibility issues with Deus Ex. If you feel like doing some manual debugging, the game's sound settings would be the place to start. A possible solution might be to switch to another renderer (the instructions are in the Troubleshooting section of our manual), but I can't guarantee it'll produce results.

Just got the same error now. I'm at the beginning of the game, just having left a building, outside for the first time, just after being told about a subway. Not wanting to add spoilers there. It's the same crash as this-

WinXP, Intel, Abit MB, nvidia 8800GT, different from the OP's system. I've a Chaintech AV-710 based on Envy24 by VIA, a Non-Creative PCI sound card. Unlikely to be the sound card. DXDIAG has it set to "Full Acceleration", which it probably shouldn't be set to. I'm going to set it to Standard Acceleration, and maybe that'll fix the problem. Also just changed it to OpenGL renderer (may have been in DirectX before?).

The galaxy crashes... while caused for a reason; usually happen with very specific timing, and therefore are next to impossible to replicate. Thus; it should be pretty hard to get a consistent crash at one location. Does it happen all the time?

I've had the one in the Slums (day 2, going towards the Admiral), and there is a pretty nasty one near Pimp-Jojo on day 2 (so far this is the only one for me that can be replicated... numerous times!)
