Music won't play (GOG)

« on: October 04, 2016, 04:12:15 pm »

Hey. I've recently bought The Last Federation on GOG during the sale, and I'm really enjoying it, except arrapently the game won't play the music, despite it being in the folders (so no bugs during installation). Does anyone has an idea why ?

Hi there -- glad you're enjoying the game. What OS are you on? There are some known issues with certain driver sets on linux with Unity 3D, and possibly updating those might help. We've not heard of any such issues on windows or OSX, though -- are you getting sound effects and voice prompts from the AI?

I'm using Windows 7 64biy as my OS and no, I'm not getting any voice prompts from the AI (though sound effects seem to work).

Hmm, that's a really strange one, then. Can you look inside your RuntimeData folder inside the game folder and see if there are any error logs in there? Those would likely shed some light.

The sound effects are embedded in the unity package, whereas the voice and music stuff is streamed off the disk.

It's possible that you told the game it wasn't allowed to connect to the internet, and that it's thus being shut down by a firewall or similar a bit TOO harshly. It only checks to the internet itself to actually look and see if there are updates for the game (it just downloads a file from amazon s3 and looks at that to see if it should tell you an update is available). Those sort of web requests as well as the requests to the disk to load external files use the same mechanism, but I've never heard of blocking one shutting down the other.

To be clear: there's no requirement for this game to have online capability, and we even have an option in settings to turn off the update check that it does do, so it sits entirely locally instead in that case. I'm just wondering if there's some overzealous firewall software or something, although this would be absolutely the first time that's happened in 6 years of us using this approach with Unity, so that's a bad omen with whatever software you're using if that's the case.

Really hoping that one isn't what it is.

Anyhow, the logs would help sort it out. Thanks for your patience!

Spoiler for Hiden:

Here's the debug log ! I'm using Kaspersky as my anti-virus, and I know it can be quite over-zealous, maybe that's it ?
