Sonic Radar problems with Battlefield4

Hey,

I have a problem with the sonic radar software (using Maxiumus VI Formula) and Battlefield 4. The sonic radar doesn't appear in the game, it is not visible. With other games it is working. When I have the BF4 in window mode I see the sonic radar working perfect but it is not visible in the fullscreen mode.

Can someone help?

Still not working.
I recommend that they remove this feature alltogether....a shame that someone with impaired hearing can now toss this option to the trash. The only reason I bought this board for....

Just got the Impact VI, but the sonic radar doesn't work? I tried even pressing the test button and it doesn't pick up anything. Does any know how to fix?

I researched this on other forums when BF4 first came out. The consensus on those forums is that BF4 is 64-bit and Sonic Radar is still 32-bit. I'm not sure how the overlay functionality works itself, but I do know that on Windows, 64-bit and 32-bit cannot communicate directly. They are isolated memory spaces. Which is why Microsoft still recommends using the 32-bit version of Office just in case you rely on a 32-bit compile plug-in.

In my job, I needed a web app running on a 64-bit JVM to communicate with a 32-bit Windows dll. I had to write a Java web service and run it on a 32-bit jvm as a bridge. The 64-bit jvm app calls the web service on the 32-bit jvm that then calls the 32-bit dll.

My guess would be that Sonic Radar would need to be compiled as 64-bit and all would work fine; however, there maybe other internal considerations that may make that compilation not so simply.

Do you know that BF4 has the option of running in 32 bit? You can try that and see if Sonic Radar works that way. Here's how:

1. Open Origin
2. Right click on BF4 and select "Game Properties"
3. Under "when launching the game" select "Battlefield 4 (x86)"
4. click "Apply"
5. launch game

I also think I have both 64 and 32-bit bf4 shortcuts on my desktop that were installed with the game.

good luck

Yes I can confirm Sonic Radar only works on BF4 when you change bf4 to x86 just like pllasma described in his thread.

I installed sonic radar II and when the setup program shows up on screen, its very dark and you cant see
the details in order to setup SR II for a game. I guess I can try a re-install ???
