No audio in game

[lambstone]

I'm not getting any sounds/audio in game. How can I fix this?

[Sn4ke]

@lambstone are you using the 32 or 64bit executable?

[JoeBrogan7]

This happens to me a lot. Sound will cut out at some point between the match ending and when the new map loads. Using the 64bit exe

Edit: and the only way to fix it for me is to restart the game.

Its a known bug with the 64bit version. It shouldnt happen if you use the 32bit one

[Guest Gliven]

Still happens occasionally with the 32bit, just have to restart the game, and sound will come back.

I get it every single time with 64. With 32 i only lose sound when headphone jack disconnects randonly and switches output, but thats not a ue3 problem

That's funny - the only reason I started using the 64bit version in the first place is because the 32bit version would often crash, giving me an "out of memory" error. I'll try 32bit again and see if that issue has stopped.

both versions have their own bugs xd.

I personally would keep using 64 bit then and restart at every map change, instead of constantly randomly crashing mid-game

Yeah, I'll probably try 32bit just to see, and if it crashes again I'll go back to 64bit. Better to restart after every match than to crash in the middle of the game, as you say.

That happens when you turn off your virtual memory (pagefiles) in windows.

There is no reason to do that

It's been a prevalent bug since 5.31

Currently there is no fix besides switching to 32bit or just restarting the game.

I confirm the error in 2022. Actual.

I have installed this recently (both Renegade X and Black Dawn), and both have no sound when playing. How can we get a working file with sound included?

The only issue that currently exists is sometimes the audio will pop-out and leave a static-y sound or changing sound devices will make the sound not come back until restart.

Redownloaded the game today and I get the audio issue immediately. It used to work fine before, but now on the x64 client there's no audio from the very beginning - even the intro videos are silent. On x32 there's audio just fine, but it crashes due to being out of memory anytime I try to load into any map (got a paging file over 10 GB in size, checked to be sure based on previous comments). Tried windows vista compatibility, reinstalled directx libraries linked in another thread, experimented with the engine.ini audio pool - nothing works, the x64 executable just refuses to play sound. Kinda makes the whole thing unplayable, which is a shame.

Windows 10 here.
