ISSUE EXPERIENCED
DESCRIBE THE ISSUE IN DETAIL (below). LIMIT TO ONE BUG PER THREAD.
While playing Italy in any SP mode, audio drops out for the entire game. Happens randomly during the match, but it does happen every time and when it does - it’s out for good. Entire AOE3 audio is lost, even if I quit the match and start a new match w a different civilization. Also noted that when viewing “Home City” of Italy, the audio is choppy. The bag round noise cuts in and out. Related? Seemed awful coincidental. Only solution I’ve found is completely exiting AOE3 - then restarting. But it will drop out the next time I play Italy. But only Italy. I have zero audio issues with any other civ.
FREQUENCY OF ISSUE
How often does the issue occur? CHOSE ONE; DELETE THE REST!
- 100% of the time / matches I play (ALWAYS) but only 100% of Italy matches, to be clear.
