[#253]Bug Report 5.00-6.00 HF2 - Related to Astrid and saving, affecting music volume settings.

Post by Candergart » Wed, 6. Apr 22, 05:25

5.00 HF 4 (475603) - 2022-03-24
Game Start: The one where I start in Avarice (No idea what the name is)
Language: English
Mods installed: "No Kha'ak", I don't think it causes this issue.

Bug: Game disregards volume settings for music during game save while player is in the Astrid

Yea I know this sounds odd but this "only" happens when I am in the Astrid, piloting or not.
I have my music volume set to 0 but every time the game saves when I am in the Astrid, the music starts blasting at full volume.
Really annoying.
For me this happens 100% of the time in the Astrid and 0% of the time in other ships or other places.

Note: When I hit escape or pause, I can hear the music for a fraction of a second also, but then it stops.
It is only during save that it blasts on during the whole save progress.

The Astrid party music is a 3D sound effect and not an actual BGM. As such it does not use the music volume slider.

I think the bug is that 3D positional audio plays flat (full volume, as if player was standing right next to source) when saving and for a brief moment after resuming from pause, the two likely related. This is most noticeable with the Astrid as the party music has an extremely loud base volume, but it is also commonly observed with engine hums of L and XL ships.

Thanks for the comment.

I have actually never heard this "party music" outside of the saving duration.
Except for maybe in Bars on stations, but that's a different tune and way more bass :)

Could this also be related to the guns on the Astrid not making any sounds at all for me?

I can confirm this happens to me as well.
There is zero "astrid-only" ambient music while in it, until pause/escape/save is pressed and then WHAM, loud music for 1/10th of a second.

Took me awhile, but I finally figured out where the music plays normally.
Spoiler
Show
It plays in the bar area of the Astrid, but actually inside the bar where a bartender would stand, not on the other side of the bar. I also heard it in a small area by the pool.
The volume is so low just standing around hearing it that way, it's weird how loud it is if you kick off a save.

I am in vanilla and running 4th gen processor. Always get the auto save music blast in Astrid(probably 15s of music). Not that big of a deal, but i don't mind chilling to the music but preferably at a clickable seat in the Astrid Bar.

Version: 6.00 (497467) English / No Mods

Getting the same that the others are experiencing. Any time the game pauses/saves, the music blasts at full strength, even if the music is completely turned off in the options.
