bugged music

[Blazingfirestorm]

I don't know if any has had this problem but sometimes the music will get stuck and just loop all the time and the only way to fix it for me is to restart my game. I don't if there is a fix for this problem, it's more annoying then game breaking but if any one can help let me know

Hi. This is a bug as I pointed out on the News page last week.

Multi Core Option: - A new option that when enabled really helps to boost the FPS from low levels to much more playable.
This solves the performance problems, which many experienced. There is a warning attached with using this option though.
Unfortunately, this option resets the old music bug, which some of you may remember. The in game music will start looping or stuttering non stop until you restart the game.
Right now it happens rarely but at any time. If it happens you will need to carry on your mission or restart the game. Otherwise disable your music.
JeremyaFr is trying to work on a fix with team members testing. It's hard to pin down and recreate but we have high hopes it can be found.

The bug happens randomly and it's a trade off for significant increases in the FPS rate.
We are working on a fix for it and there may have been some recent breakthroughs.
For now you either need to turn off the music, hope it doesn't happen often or live with more lag in game which I don't recommend.
Hopefully we will have a hook that can help to fix it soon but we are still testing as it has other side effects or doesn't work.

ok thanks for that reply I think I might just turn off the music until it's fix

Or maybe try running on a different CPU core? See ddraw.cfg file.

No that does not work. Leave at 0 or endure the music issues.

Please see this thread for fixes of the music bug. You will need to update your Hooks and copy them across to your XWA folder.
Hook_Music is the new one that helps to fix the issue. We hope!

Keep an eye on it please. A lot of us thought it was fixed but seems it's not totally.

I'll watch out for it
