Troubleshooting / Music volume acts as master volume

« on: October 17, 2013, 12:56:49 am »

Hello,

In the game options, the music volume slider acts as a master volume. Lowering, raising it or muting it affects both music and SFX volume levels. The SFX slider only affects the SFX volume.

I'm using the latest build (0.9 git 2013-10-16 14:11), but it also happened on a previous build and on the "stable" version.

What could be causing this? Is it a general bug or is it just me?

Thanks in advance.

it's the alien mission in an invalid zone bug, just as i suspected.

solution: start a new game.
it IS possible to copy/paste the alien strategy data from the new save to the old save, but i'm not sure how well that'll go.

Bummer. Oh well, I had the aliens completely dominated anyway, I guess I could use the challenge of starting over.

I'll let you know if it crashes again once I get to April 2001 in the new game, although that will take a while.

Thanks!

Either of these two will crash at the exact moment when the date is supposed to change. I don't have any other playthroughs saved, so basically all my saved games will crash at this date, it's nothing specific to these two.

Hello all, and than you for your answers.

I just downloaded the latest nightly build (OpenXcom 0.9 git 2013-10-10 14:15) and the problem persists. At least now it's giving a more informative error. I'm attaching a screen capture. Clicking "Retry" crashes with the "OpenXcom has stopped working" popup. Either of the other options just closes the game.

There is no research going on at the time. In fact, there's nothing going on, no research, no manufacturing, no base facilities being built... I'm just idling in the globalscape.

kkmic mentioned that my savegames wouldn't work with the new version, but I can open them fine. I don't know if that can be a problem in itself, and if I should start a new game from scratch in order to test it, but it can take quite a while to get to April 2001 from a new game.

Thanks again.

What version of OpenXcom are you playing?

Version 0.9. The first line of CHANGELOG.txt says "Version 0.9 (07-05-2013)".

Troubleshooting / Game crashes at the end of March 2001

Hello,

I've been playing OpenXcom (latest stable version, Windows 7) and the game crashes at the moment when it's supposed to change from March 31st to April 1st, 2001. The "OpenXcom has stopped working" popup appears. It first happened when I was playing on Superhuman difficulty. I loaded an old save from a different playthrough on Beginner difficulty, coasted through until March 31st, and it also crashed, so it wasn't something specific that I did during the Superhuman game.

I searched around but this doesn't seem to be a documented error, so I'm guessing that others are not having the same problem.

Any ideas as to why this may be?

Thanks!

Diego
