Hi guys!
We’re almost ready for the release of the next Breakaway for Windows version.
Big news since RC4: NO MORE HARDWARE ID!
Unfortunately, everyone will need new serial numbers. Please contact Support to get your new serial number(s).

If everything is OK, we’ll release next monday, so please help test as quickly as you can 😉.

Been running it for about 3 hours without any problems. I haven’t gone through all the presets but it sounds great on the Reference Heavy default setting. Two thumbs up!
Hi Leif,
what are the biggest changes, except of the hardware-id?
Are there no new presets like in the fm-version?
This morning i tried the new version and at the same time installed the fm-version. But then both of them were not working. I had to reboot the computer. Then i tried the fm-breakaway and it worked until stopping the music. Then i had to reboot again.
Perhaps one can’t have both breakaway’s installed?
Thanks for your excellent work,
OlliHi Olli!
You should absolutely be able to have both of them installed. I test it all the time.
However, please note that in Windows XP, Breakaway Personal (not the FM version) will change the Default Sound device in Windows, when you start and stop Breakaway.
When you start Breakaway, it will set the default sound device to Breakaway Pipeline 1.
When you shut down Breakaway, it will set the default sound device to the Output sound card that is selected.It has to do this, because otherwise, if a regular user closes Breakaway, they would have no audio at all from their computer. We try to avoid "Help!! Breakaway broke my sound card!" emails as much as we possibly can. 😉
You can disable this behaviour in Breakaway Personal by unchecking the "Manage" checkbox in the settings. This could be what was happening.
There are no new presets in the personal version yet, but I will add the Helix and Dance presets as soon as they are done (Jesse is still tweaking the Helix preset).
In the release of Breakaway AFTER this one (1.3), I am also planning a VOIP preset, and a convenient mode selector which will remember preset + all the settings you make, and allow you to switch manually. Not in this one though — we need to get 1.2 out first.
The biggest new thing in 1.2 compared to 1.0 is without a doubt the much improved Vista support, Vista 64 support (impossible before), and better sound card compatibility (directsound support).
