Made mention of this in my "hello" thread, but the way i experienced it gave me the wrong idea about the issue, so in a bit more detail:
All sound FX (ambient/sound/environment) play just fine, every time, like clockwork.
The musical score however (ie the actual music), only plays:
i) when i've just started the client, and am at the login credentials screen.
ii) when i transition between different areas (ie Hawks to Alden).
It never repeats itself, really never, even when the 'interval' setting is set to 'max', ie dragged all the way to the right as you see it.
To help with the troubleshooting;
Self evident, but as mentioned above, music does play, albeit literally just the one time, never again unless i switch areas. Even if i do and it does play this once, it will never repeat itself, not even after hours.
- so no music files missing or corrupted, i played the game back then as well, i remember what plays where. And it's what i hear now as well.
- no issue on my end, be it hardware or software, as again, i can hear it (albeit just the one time).
- have already tried deleting client.ini, Spellborn.ini, one at a time and both simultaneously and then re-starting client from scratch. Issue persists.
- just as evident, but i do not have music muted from the tick box, or its volume set to zero.
- to make it weirder still, a guildie and Wraith (who i believe you know) have both told me they can hear it just fine on their end :S
Am on Windows 10 Ent, long service, 1809 (17763.1192), last updated yesterday, manually. Game is run as admin, even though it doesn't need to, am on secret admin account with altered secpol settings, auto elevation. No sound issues, no other issues, not new to this. And again, i can hear the music ingame, it's the repetition that's problematic. Have also attached my DxDiag full report, not sure if it uploaded or not however, can't see it now.
Would sincerely appreciate any pointers or some checking from your end. 'Bout 40% of the excitement for me was the music, lol, really loved it back then.. and i can't hear it!
