Problems with sound effects

Post by Silvaezz »

Hey everyone, I've been saving Factorio for over 65 hours, but now I've started experiencing this issue with the sound effects and the game's radars. I don't know if it's a mod issue.

A short video about this issue and my log files.

What is the issue with sound effects you are trying to show in the clip?

I no longer hear footsteps, belts, or machinery sounds, only wind sounds (the same wind sfx as when we're on the map screen), but when I click on an object to see details about it, the sounds work. And now the radars don't work and the entire map is being revealed. I tested it on a new savegame and everything worked normally without disabling any mods.

You can post the save with the issue and I can take a look.

Dude, I figured out the problem. For some reason, while my game was revealing the map, all sounds and radars were disabled. Now that I've completed this quest, things are back to normal. I was really worried about losing this 65-hour save, but I'm glad it's back. Thanks for your attention, friend!

Edit: sorry for my english, i use google translate.

Just a little note: I've loaded your save and confirmed that the sounds don't play because technically most of the map is in fog of war, including where the character is. So the only sounds that played at that moment are the GUI sounds which don't care about fog of war.
