Undertow Games Forum

Hello, i'm french so, sorry in advance for my english ^^
I've dowloaded much of SCP versions and in all of them i have the same problem: (now i have v1.3.1)
I play like ~10 - 15 minutes then i have "failed to load sound: SFX\Music\The Dread.ogg" writed in the console, idk why, but that make crash the game ("Memory Access Violation") i need help, if someone can help me that would be cool .
I've already try some possibilities: viewtopic.php?f=6&t=3742
When i set compatibility to Windows 8, that's not the same message: "failed to load sound: SFX\Horro12/ogg"
When i set compatibility to XP Service pack 3, the game crash faster (5min or less) ^^
NB: Never cheat!

Usually that is a RAM issue (altough you have even better RAM than I have). The game still has a lot of problems with the memory system. A lot of stuff will be loaded, but won't be deleted properly. Maybe in a future version or such, there will be a better method of releasing some model/texture/image/sound file (well, sound files are already supposed to be released by the "Auto Release" code).

EDIT: I realized that this is actually the wrong thread (it's the bug session for Barotrauma, not SCP:CB).

Thx for this fast response
No solution?!
Can i copy-paste my post on SCP:CB? or can you just place the post in SCP: CB?

Moved to the correct forum.

Go to the option menu -> Audio -> Sound Auto Release tick

I've never had any problems with "Failed to load sound" until 1.3 came along. It happens a lot ingame so i had to disable "Show console on errors" to continue playing.

I did that for a while, but I found the game almost invariably crashed within 30 seconds after getting one of those messages. Curiously, they seemed much more common in security checkpoint rooms. The "failed to load sound" errors are always the larger files, usually ambience or BGM, even being the menu ambience in one case. I tried replacing some of the regular files with ones that are just one second of silence, and I never got errors on those particular sounds again.
