Are you running in Panther? I found that running this game in Panther caused that problem too. The cut scenes would just start cycling all the dialog from the game. I booted into 10.2.8 and it worked fine. But my problem started immediately, not further into the game.

I dunno, I just started the game, so Im only at the old records building. Macplay is pretty shady. I mean, in order to start the game, I have to switch to a resolution with a 60hz refresh rate. lame

I feel better knowing that the problem is effecting other people. I thought that I had done something lame that had caused it.

If MacPlay ever responds to my e-mail for help, I'll post the fix here. (I've decided to keep bugging them until they do.)

Once you get farther into the game, certian levels are dependent on characters interacting with you. They have a little speech and then they will act. They can't do this if the speech never ends. The game is playable though, I just saved/quit then moved the SOUND.REZ file out of the data file on the computer (but still in the nolf2 folder) when the conversations wouldn't stop. Then when I came upon an area where conversation was needed, I'd save/quit and  put it back in until it was done, then save/quit and take it out again.  It worked but I naturally missed the movies.

G4 Dual 1GHZ, 512 mb ram, 10.2.8 OS
I didn't have any lag, or if I did I was too distracted by all of the voices in my head. "Over Here! Over Here! Caw Caw Caw...."

I'd happily play this thing with low resolution and minimal settings if only the sound video issue would go away. I would turn my refresh rate to 60mhz if only to try it but that area in my Displays panel is greyed out. Frankly, I don't think I should have to anyway. It should work without my doing a silly voodoo dance.

Also...what version of QuickTime is installed?

I don't know if it's easy to downgrade QuickTime or not, since I've never done it.

However, if you want to give it a shot, you can download QT 6.3 here.

Wow, let's hope they get us an update to address these issues. I'd also like to see if there's a way to switch to 16 bit color. I think that would improve my frames

I have tried the following with 10.2.6 and 10.2.8. i haven't tried it with 10.3 yet.
I set the refresh rate to 72hz and things ran smoother.

i just got this game recently, and i find that in places the npc's get stuck trying to walk somewhere (poor pathing) and i can't get them to move. at one point, when you've just been captured in a big glass cage and suspended over a huge pit, the guy in the cage with me drops out and is supposed to run over to a stuck door and bash it down. problem is, he gets stuck in the glass floor, so we've both dropped to the ground and he's "running" full tilt into the floor. nothing i can do will move him, and i've reloaded that area 8 or 9 times so it's not a bug; it happens every time. i can just use a cheat to skip past that level, but it's so much fun shooting those stupid french mimes!  anyone else have this (or similar) problems?

oh, i also downgraded to quicktime 6.3 after having the same audio issues and it fixed everything.

thanks, it worked. 

Most places prefer you to use the search function before you start a new one. This was the newest thread dedicated to NOLF2 that I could find.

That said...

Hey, this October! Zombies should be encouraged.

Have you tried the upgrade from the MacPlay site?
