Factorio Forums

I am doing a game of the mod Warptorio 2 expansion. After some hours of play, I noticed that most sounds were not playing. Notably the warp countdown alert. This worked well on the old sound engine. Restarting Factorio fixed it - this was not necessary on the old sound engine.

This sounds like some objects with reserved sound instances are getting left behind and exhausting the sound instance pool over time.
If that is the case you can observe it by enabling show-detailed-info in the debug settings. There is a line "Sound instances: x/y/z", where x is the number of currently playing instances, y is the number of reserved ones and z is the size of the pool. You would see the number of reserved instances to go up over time.

Do you have a save I could use while I look into this?

The problem disappeared once I saved-restarted-reloaded, so I don't think a save would be useful? I will take a look at the sound instances if the problem reoccurs.

It might help if the object/entity/whatever that gets left behind is already in the save, instead of me trying from scratch, but it's not necessary.

Clip from twitch with that menu up https://clips.twitch.tv/HilariousRoundN ... 6tVf5h1vcv - save is available from Colonelwill

That's not what I've expected and it makes this more ... let's go with interesting.

The issue is now fixed for the next release.
Thanks everyone for the reports.
