Command & Conquer 3 Video/Audio Synch Fix

[Sonic 296]

Many people have reported a Video/Audio synch problem with the videos in the C&C 3 Demo. Community Manager, Predator, has posted a temporary solution on the Official C&C3 Forums for those who have this problem.

 

Hey guys,

 

A number of you have been reporting about Video/Audio synch issues. We currently have a fix planned and in place for the game, however, here is an intermittement fix which should do the trick.

 

This temporary fix may not fix the problem on all system configurations, especially on machines that do not meet or exceed the minimum system requirements. That should be fairly obvious.

 

IMPORTANT -- We highly recommend not setting the process priority any higher than "AboveNormal."

 

1. Run the Command & Conquer 3 Tiberium Wars Demo.

2. Press Alt + Tab to minimize the demo and switch back to Windows.

3. Press Ctrl + Alt + Delete to bring up the security prompt and click on "Task Manager".

4. Select the "Processes" tab and look for DemoGame.dat in the list.

5. Right-click on DemoGame.dat, select "Set Priority", and then select "AboveNormal" from the submenu -- this option is one step up from the default "Normal" setting.

6. Windows will prompt you with a similar warning. Select "Yes".

7. Switch back to the game by clicking on the button in the Windows task bar.

 

The syncing issue should be resolved the next time you watch a video in the game. Note: You will need to repeat this procedure each time you run the demo.

 

And again, this is just an intermittent fix, we have the official fix in the game, so not to worry.

Click here for the original thread. I've no problems with videos or running the C&C 3 Demo, but hopefully this temporary solution should help those fans affected by this problem until the release of the full game in a few weeks.

EDIT: Still out of synch. The video comes few seconds after the sound.
