Questions about speed and sound

Yes there should be sound effects. The sound files, .wav, should be located in the Sounds folder under the SF root folder.

As for fps, the best I have every seen at 1024x768 is 40fps. I run the game at 1600x1200 and get about 30fps, and my system is fairly up-to-date:
P4 @ 3.12GHz
512MB 400MHz DDR RAM
ATI 9800Pro
So, I don't think fps really has much meaning for SF.

@Wyndom@ker

Speed Issue:
I believe 12fps and 40fps is a HUGE difference. Anything around 10 is a pain. Anything above 25fps for me is acceptable (for none First Person Shooter games).

Secondly, Sound Issue:
I dont seem to have a "Sound" directory under the Starfury directory. The folder under "Starfury" are:-

Campaigns
Images
Data
Temp
XFiles
Music
Fonts
Currgame

I have already patched to ver 1.08 but I never realiazed the lack of sound until recently. I am about to delete and reinstall to see if it makes a difference.

YAY! I got sound!
I checked that the sound folder is here this time around too. And the laser do make sounds... Fantastic.

And, unusually, the fps went up a bit too; I'm getting around 20fps (1024x768x32) now. Weird. Previously, I was using 1024x768x16 and only got me around 18fps cause I couldn't stand 12fps at 32bit.

Well, I got the opposite, I can hear sounds, but don't get the music (and yes, the mp3 files are there, in the 'music' folder), it always crashes after a while if I activate the music

I wasn't aware you could activate or deactivate music? Is there a way to which music to play from within the game?

Sorry, this doesn't help your problem with no music...

Yes, you can deactivate music in the options menu.
Your second question is quite weird, but I think you mean if you can choose which music the game would play? I think the only way to do that is by modding it

Or just copy over the existing tracks with your own MP3s
