The EARMusf application starts the first time Heavy Gear does. I recently dug out my copy of Heavy Gear 2, and after a few minor hiccups, I managed to get it into a playable state by using Windows 95 compatibility mode.
Now, I don't know if this is the right thread to put this in, so forgive me if I blundered, I'll be willing to move the post, but a friend of mine and I just bought four copies of the game, because we thought giant robot warfare simulation would be awesome, and rightfully so. After awhile, though, we hit a problem. The EARMusf application starts the first time Heavy Gear does crashes, takes the game down with it, and does so constantly. I don't recall the application needing to run after the first launch, so a bypass may be sufficient. However, as this problem happened consistently on multiple machines, all various versions of Windows 7, I'm pretty sure that it's a problem with the app, or we've been consistently installing it wrong. The application seems to be an audio one. Download El Valle De Los Lobos Libro Pdf.
Is there anyone who knows what we're doing wrong, or if there's a workaround? I've tried the app compat toolkit, tried virtual machines, nothing's working. And we really want eight-way giant robot warfare. As has been stated before, the fix for the culling issue at the top of this thread works, but the game will always crash in Config Controls and Instant Action. The controls can be manually edited in bindings.def, although this is a pain to do if your OS isn't English since you'll have to guess what the names of the individual controls should be in your particular language.
Missions will sometimes randomly crash upon completion, but if this happens it's a fairly simple matter to restart the mission and then cheat to instantly complete it (by typing 'set mission' into the console). This works until mission 10, which will ALWAYS crash upon completion no matter what you do. As far as I can tell, there's no way to progress beyond this point in the campaign if you're playing on Windows 7.
The Training and Historical mission all worked fine, but it's a pain not being able to finish the game after all the effort I put into actually getting it running. As much as it pains me, I doubt we'll ever see Heavy Gear II on GOG.
The GOG engineering team would have to work some crazy magic to get this game to run reliably on modern systems, even if all the legal hurdles were cleared with Activision and Dream Pod 9. I just can't see it happening, but hopefully I'll be proven wrong. Goosecreature: As has been stated before, the fix for the culling issue at the top of this thread works, but the game will always crash in Config Controls and Instant Action. Holding down ESC while Instant Action loads seems to prevent it from crashing, at least it did for me last time I had HG2 installed (had to do a HDD format when I got new hardware recently) Reinstalling HG2 now. ----- EDIT: Got it installed and running.
Stuff that may be helpful to know, for those trying to get the game working: • 'iasinst.exe' in the Setup folder on the HG2 CD needs to be run in Windows 98 compatibility mode to avoid EAR / audio errors (it might be a good idea to set everything on the CD to run in Windows 98 compatibility mode and as an Administrator before you install) • still needed to avoid crash on launch (for me at least). • Using Windows 95 / 98 compatibility modes on 'Heavy Gear 2.exe' causes the game to crash on launch. EDIT.on some computers - others it might not be an issue, but it might not be needed either. • Using Windows XP compatibility modes on 'Heavy Gear 2.exe' causes the game to fail to start with a 'DirectX 6 not detected' message.
• K-Lite Codec Pack seems to break the intro video and the main menu - the audio from the movie works, but the game gets stuck on a black screen. It also locks the mouse cursor in the middle of the screen (you have to terminate the 'Heavy Gear 2.exe' process through Task Manager, using the keyboard, to escape). Newport City Pasay Zip Code. I ended up uninstalling it, which got the intro video playing normally and the main menu displaying correctly. • Holding ESC while Instant Action is loading (until you're in the IA level with the in-game menu open) prevents it from crashing (most of the time), not doing so seems to guarantee a crash. • Culling fix in the first post still works:) • Config Controls crashes for me too:(. Dang, one of those games I should remember to play on one of my XP-powered retro-PCs, as long as I still have them around. I earlier installed and tried out Heavy Gear 2 retail on my old desktop single-core AMD CPU PC with ATI Radeon X800 Pro graphics card and Windows XP (from around early 2000s I think), and it least on that HG2 seemed to run fine without any special workarounds, I think.
