A new update for BlastZone 2 has been released to address a few remaining sound hardware compatibility issues.
While all the sound-related crash issues were fixed recently, some compatibility issues remained. This includes the sound occasionally cutting out or not sounding correct for some systems. These were identified specifically for the Creative Sound Blaster Xi-Fi and have now been addressed, along with fixes for other cards as well. Sound hardware detection and handling has been updated to be much more consistent across a wider range of hardware. Anyone who has any sound related issues with BlastZone 2 I strongly encourage to try out the latest version.
To make sure you have the latest version of BlastZone 2, start the game and check the lower left corner in the main menu for "v1.22.3.3" or higher.
Another small update was released recently (v1.22.3.2a) that adds a sonic boom sound when activating the afterburners in Mission Mode Area 5. Enjoy!
