When I go to the basic training, I'm in that transparent box, but there's no dialogue explaining what to do. I've seen the begining of the game, and there should be dialogue from the training robot.

If it helps, the 'beeps' on the menu are no longer there after I changed my resolution, and dont return when I switch the resolution back.

Edit: meant prompt in the title

Nevermind, seemed to fix it by reinstalling

try changing your audio driver (sound settings, cycle the hardware acceleration option). you will have do this before you start or load a game.

Thanks!!!! Problem solved.

Out of curiosity: Do you use headphones? What happens when you check the loudspeaker test?

I distinctly hear "left" in my left ear, and "right" in my right.

by doing what exactly?

You must not move the sound blas slider. Leave it in the mid position

Sorry but that does'nt work for me. No change work, I hear no voices. This is for the german version.

you probably have your sound acceleration set to openal. set it to something else (off). it's in the ingame sound menu.
