Tides of War

The voice command in gold edition is really a pain in the butt. Whenever it comes to a critical moment, aiming a V-Boat in close distance, and order "fire bow", the damn thing just retrieve the tactical, and I miss the chance to sink the boat, then, get toasted.....it happens all the time. It really makes me miss the old edition in which the voice command is so acurate and never gives me any trouble. I dont know what they did to the voice command program!!!

Have you voice-trained your SAPI sufficiently?

that is not the correct command to fire torpedoes from the MTB's

As far as i recall it is

• "fire port one"
• "fire port two"
• "fire starboard one"
• "fire starboard two"

You can replace "fire" with "launch".

oh and the sAPI is this same in gold as in the "old" one

What MTB's ?

Isn't the V boat , the Freyr Corvette being aimed at ?

Maybe try more voice training , that might help .

I've had good luck with the voice command system, well worth using. I have found a couple of quirks.

With the Lightning torpdeo boat standing still i ordered "battle stations". I heard the correct response from the crew but I also heard bells for power and the boat started moving. Since i was parked close to another boat I had to act fast to avoid a collision. An order for pivot to port on the lighting got the correct verbal response from the crew, the rudder moved to the correct position but there was not the correct response from the props.

Nevertheless the voice command system is terrific, adds a lot to the game.

(What I did not realize before playing enigma is that, as a child, I must have issued similar commands many times to my toys. It's been a chore changing from "all ahead" to "ahead", and the same with several other commands.)

I was in a sub, not an MTB. so I think fire bow or launch bow is correct.

I trained the voice recognition program as part of the WinXP system, not

sure if SAPI was a separate one from the OS. If it is, maybe its the problem.

dont know how to train SAPI if its not a part of the XP system

yeah thats correct for a sub

the sAPI is the same as the one in Windows, you can access it from control panel->speech, if you havent trained the profile after you installed the game, then run thru atleast 2 of the sessions, see if that helps. you can also in the speech applet adjust the accuracy, try that too

I have stopped playing since the Gold patch because the voice recognition has changed. It may be the same version but when I reinstalled the game and applied the patch it changed. I trained the SAPI a lot and I still fire torpedoes and shut down the engines when I am not trying to. I can not even use the voice when in a sub because it hardly works at all and when it does it is firing a torp.

Is there something else I can do to get back into the game with voice?

We didn't change the voice stuff for the GOLD edition at all. What has happened is the addition of voice responses. These take some additional memory and computing time. Other than that...no changes to the grammar, the grammar rules, anything.

Try the 'V' key toggle to clear the cue when it's misbehaving.
