Crash, probably sound related, in 0.4.3 on XP

Post by Turgid Bolk »

Just finishing up a cargo mission, I had just jumped into a system and was heading toward the next jump. Also I was being chased by a few Aera ships (but they just slow me down, never actually catch me). I think I was skipping tracks, too, but I don't remember exactly. Anyway the sound and music suddenly stops and is replaced with a fast "click click click click click..." like a skipping CD. A couple seconds later the game froze, but the clicking persisted, even after switching windows and force-closing the game. (I had to restart to clear it.) I have edited a lot of the music playlists to point to my files, including "peace" and "battle," maybe that has something to do with it.

Here's the last bit of stdout:

It says stuff about cargo, but I do have the cargo patch installed. Anyway, this may be fixed or irrelevant in the new version already, but here it is.

@Turgid Bolk the whole sound system has been rewritten but in reference to your problem where it is saying no sound section found it is referring to no sound section in vegastrike.config so a check of it with an XML aware editor i use Notepad++ when i am in windows it has syntax highlighting for umpteen languages and scripts might be in order.did restarting the game clear the problem :?:

Enjoy the Choice :)
