Annoying beeping sound when SupCom gets over stressed

Postby Flynn » 05 Nov 2014, 13:42

Yo this has bugged me for awhile. When the game gets stressed (having to make sounds of clicks and zooming in and out etc) it will freeze for a second and this annoying beeping sound will occur, sorta like a computer motherboard beep when there is a problem, but it only lasts for a second. I used to play this on an underpowered craptop, so naturally I assumed it was a sound that the craptop was making or a Windows sound, but on my new super powered desktop I still get it. It is not a problem or anything, just wondering why.

Good idea, year the noise sounds exactly like sticky keys, although I have disabled sticky keys a couple of weeks ago. If I hear it again then I will know that it is not sticky keys, but that theory makes a lot of sense.

I just had it today whilst clicking reclaim...seems to be related to net lag. Sticky keys definitely disabled.

You hit too many keys at once? Depending on your motherboard, certain key's can't be pressed at the same time. Doing that will result in a short 'beep'

It happens in this Luxun17 cast: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KweCBLo_nvo

27 minutes 25 seconds in around where Luxun says "...it will be out of range so...not a big risk". It is a very truncated beep sound. I have always wondered what it is.

Obviosly game freezes and goes to "not responding" mode, cause PC can't handle it

i remeber you asking about it already, i think you can only turn if off in windows, it is windows sound not game.. that is only tip i can give here

I have experienced some problem where nvidia drivers crash and recovery. I had to underclock my videoboard from 670 to 600 mhz.
