Before u laugh, i know Steam wont make the AI stupid for ex. but is it so far fetched to think Steam might be the reason sound cuts out?


Just throwing it out there.

Well people are reporting turning trees off cures most of the sound issues..i haven't tried it myself but if its correct id say NO

confirmed* turn off trees, I've had no sound bug so far.
LOL they'll say its fixed with the latest patch and it will be the houses that knock the sound out instead

It's possible, but there are so many games that work just fine with Steam (in that their MP servers and sound work) that it seems like game-breaking issues would be related to the game code.

My guess is that Ubi did not want to delay the North American release again.

They were hoping to have a viable patch but when the deadline came and went they had to let last month's version go gold so it could be in the stores today.

There is apparently, NO mention of steam being required anywhere on the US DVD version.
Either 1C have kicked steam into touch (doubtful) or some people are going to buy it and get a nasty surprise.
