Bug - Autosave when the tractor beam is on

[carbunkle]

When boosting if the game autosaves, it can throw the boost audio into a loop.

Occurrence 1: Was using the container magnet constantly while shooting at the crystals at the same time. After a while the container magnet sound "stuck" and didn't went away and if you clicked it again, it will start another sound but the first one will still be there
Occurrence 2: Was using the container magnet and an Autosave was triggered. When the Autosave finished the sound was stuck

Solution: I had to go out of the game to the main menu in order for the sound to go away

If autosave kicks off when the tractor beam is running the sound of the beam continues non-stop. Changing sectors and getting out of the ship didn't help, but reloading the game fixed it.

there's a tractor beam?, were and how?.

The cargo magnet thing, whatever it's called.

does it stay active or just the sound?

[wilsonlaizo]

Just the sound, it happened to me as well.

It also happened to me while I was shooting and using it at the same time, but I couldn't reproduce.

Yep just the sound.

[nightphreak]

that sucks, would be kind of cool if it was the other way around though... i'm constantly using the cargo collector and shooting at the same time and havn't run into this issue... might have something to do with resource allocation on your system.. anything else running in the background? a DXdiag would probably help devs sort it out though so they can see what your system looks like , might have a problem there.. using a headset or soundcard? I have run into an issue of the audio quits working after unmuting the mic on my headset though...

New game 1.5, no mods:

I try to loot some crystals and suddenly the game autosave. After saving the sound of the magnet is still active - even if I don't press the "O"-Button anymore. I try it several times with F5-save and it's reproducible. No save game because after loading everything is fine again.

Came here to report this as well

minor bug, but highly annoying:

If you have your loot magnet active (holding Button O) and autosave kicks in, the "siren" sound of the loot magnet goes into infinite loop.

game restart fixes it

currently using build 1.5 but it has happened before update

If a sound effect like the tractor beam is in use during an autosave...it plays continually afterwards only an exit and restart clears it.

Can confirm this. Can be reproduced by quicksaving while "magnet" is active. Sound persists even if you leave the pilot chair and go into space suit. Loading a saved game clears it

[algorythm]

Same problem here... its really annoying to have to restart the game every time this happens...

+1 .
If you turn the sound effects down you can carry on playing ( especially useful if the RNG on drop loot is running well ie a high ratio of weapon chamber mod drops ) .

This has been going on for a long time too and according to the beta 2.0 log it still isnt fixed although they did increase the autosave function's time so it happens less since 1.6hf1

and as a previous poster noted is easily repeatble .........
