Sound and game crash

Postby Helios » Wed 14 May, 2014 11:33 pm

I've just had two games where after my sound stops working and all you can hear is ambient sound, the game crashes, and retail is forced open and launches. Any ideas?

Fairly common bug. Never happened to me but still a fairly common thingy.

It happened to me several times in retail (if "retail" means the "original game", I'm still dealign with English expressions). I guess its an original problem and just overlaps with the mod if it happens when you run it.

Happens to me rarely as well on Elite. Game sound just disappears and couple minutes later, game crashes and Retail Retri keeps on launching until I manually exit the game via main menu

I know I have suffered from that before, but there is no logical pattern that determines when it will happen.
The internal battery has run dry, the game can now be played. However, clock based events will no longer occur.

From my experience, it only happens in team games. Might be a problem with a custom audio settings also.

When the End Times come, it will live on. When the Chaos Gods conquer Terra and consume the Emperor on his Golden Throne and extinguish humanity with his last breath, it alone will endure. For it is eternal, as undying as the stars themselves.

The High Lords and Chapter Masters of the Adeptus Astartes whisper its name in hushed tones, lest they unknowingly draw its fiendish attentions. It is the one true fear that prevents the Chaos legions from spewing out of the Eye of Terror, consuming Cadia and retaking the galaxy they once conquered.

When it chooses you as its victim, your hearing fails you. You have just enough time to let your fellows know you have it before it consumes your lifeforce, stripping away your very essence for all eternity.

It is inevitable. It is immortal.

It is the Sound Bug.

And it is fucking annoying.
