Game sometimes load with no sound.
« on: October 12, 2023, 05:29:18 PM »
Like the title says, I'm encountering this weird bug where the game loads with no sound, even though all sounds are enabled in the options menu. I though it might be a problem with mods, but its a problem that's still persists with a clean install. This is on Windows 10.

Edit: Seems it was an issue was with the audio drivers on my system. Issue appears to have been resolved.

Can you try playing through DXWnd and see if that helps?

Thanks for the suggestion, Mario. I did briefly lose sound again. I will try DXWnd.

I just found out that attempting to run the game in widescreen mod by editing any scripts is causing the problem. I'm not sure why this is happening, as I have run the game in widescreen before.

I'd switch to DXWnd if I were you then. You can run in full screen windowed mode then (though the it does look weird).
