Sound mods are completely obsolete after the new update

  • Game Version: April 2th Update.

  • Platform: Steam

  • Operating System: Windows 10

Issue:

After the new update, audio mods became completely obsolete. Mods like those that modify cinematic dialogue, or those heard when selecting units, etc., became completely obsolete. I even tried migrating the files to the Banks/Desktop folders, and they still didn’t work.
Are you aware of this?

They should because the patch notes mention that the game underwent an audio engine change. So yeah, audio mods should be useless now and I doubt they will implement backwards compatibility.

They need to tell us how to mod the sounds now. The sound files have all moved but the code for the locations of the sounds referenced in the soundset files didn’t change. I don’t understand that and I don’t know how to fix my mod. However, considering they didn’t need to update the soundsets, it seems like they should be able to implement backwards compatibility for mods. Or maybe we don’t need to update them and they’ve just broken something on their end.

The original VA mod I used stopped working too
