Bug: Music

[kev9000]

Music won't turn off!

[Primasprit]

Hi kev!

If you turn the music in the game options off, it doesn't stop instantly. But after the current track finished it will be off forever.

Cheers

I get the opposite problem, the music hardly plays at all - one song, then nothing for 10 minutes, then another. No continuous music.

Note that there is always a pause between two songs.

I have exactly the same issue, appearing both in ACW and NCP.
I noticed that a song plays only one time, and remains mute if it fires another time.

In the french forum, Pocus said that they are waiting for more informations frome the music conceptor :

nous avons demandé des informations supplémentaires au concepteur de la bibliothèque de gestion des musiques.

By the way, what is your sound card ? I use on-board [SIZE="1"]nVidia nForce3 250Gb AC97 Audio Controller[/size].

[Pocus]

We got the answer: he knows of the problem but won't fix it, so we have to find a work around. Bah

[Bruit Bleu]

Is the cause of the problem known?
Is it about hardware incompatibility?

I don't understand why does each song play only one time...

[Pocus]

This is now fixed, thanks to a work-around. For the next patch.

[Bruit Bleu]

Great news! Thanks!
Shouldn't you say "For the next patches", as the issue appears in the two games?

Et, euh, que signifie "a work-around" ? Un genre de tour de passe-passe ?

[Pocus]

Oui cela s'appliquera à AACW. Un work-around serait une solution qui corrige le symptome sans s'attaquer au problème à la base... Vu qu'on ne peut pas en l'occurence, on fait une 'feinte'... Dans l'exemple qui nous occupe, l'objet musique en mémoire ne se rejoue plus une 2e fois. Le work-around est de le détruire et de le recréer. C'est bourrin, mais ca reste propre et ca fonctionne surtout!

Merci pour le renseignement !
Je suis pressé de voir ça et d'écouter en boucle les musiques !
