lyw_85 Posted November 3, 2008 Share Posted November 3, 2008 Help! With the past FMs, whenever I play and someone messages me via MSN, I can hear the message sound. However, with FM09 Demo, there isn't any sound when someone msgs me. Is it just me? Or is there something to do with the game? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottnmcleod Posted November 3, 2008 Share Posted November 3, 2008 are you in windowed mode or full screen becuase in full screen i cant hear/see anything but if im windowed mode then when someone speaks to me it flashes and makes the noise. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rb Posted November 3, 2008 Share Posted November 3, 2008 Firstly, are you playing it in windowed mode and have you got the sounds all on in the preferences? Try windowed and turning the sounds off if you already haven't. I play windowed with MSN on and the sounds off and I can hear the msn sounds fine Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lyw_85 Posted November 3, 2008 Author Share Posted November 3, 2008 Just an update, I can't hear when people nudge me as well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lyw_85 Posted November 3, 2008 Author Share Posted November 3, 2008 No, I'm playing in full screen. However, with the past FMs, I play them in full screen too and the MSN sounds were fine. When I changed to windowed, the MSN sounds are fine too. But windowed is not as enjoyable as in full screen. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigdunk Posted November 3, 2008 Share Posted November 3, 2008 There's a setting in MSN, something along the lines of "show me as busy and block my alerts when running a full screen program", try turning this off. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
HHUK Posted November 3, 2008 Share Posted November 3, 2008 Check your MSN options, one option sets you in busy mode whenever you run a fullscreen program, make sure it's unticked. It hasn't made a difference with past FM's but using Steam's launcher trigger it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
PGB_SPURS_FM09 Posted November 3, 2008 Share Posted November 3, 2008 what the above 2 posters have said is the answer! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lyw_85 Posted November 3, 2008 Author Share Posted November 3, 2008 That's unticked as well. Are you guys experiencing the same thing? In Past FMs - MSN sound available FM 09 Demo - MSN sound not there It might be a programming system because I just tried with FM08, and the msn sound was there.
