  • GAME BUILD #: 180059
  • GAME PLATFORM: Steam
  • OPERATING SYSTEM: Windows 11

The game may erroneously play the Vikings Sagas Main Menu music in the Chronicles Main Menu.

  • 100% of the time / matches I play (ALWAYS)

:play_button: REPRODUCTION STEPS

:backhand_index_pointing_down: List CLEAR and DETAILED STEPS we can take to reproduce the issue ourselves… Be descriptive!

Here’s the steps to reproduce the issue:

  1. Either launch the game with [TheVikingSagas] Main Menu Music mod enabled straight to the Chronicles menu, OR

  2. Launch the default game main menu with [TheVikingSagas] Main Menu Music mod enabled, and switch to the Chronicles main menu. Note The Vikings Sagas main menu music playing in the Chronicles main menu.

  3. Switch to the Return of Rome main menu (which brings up the correct soundtrack), and switch back to the Chronicles main menu to bring back the correct Chronicles menu soundtrack.

  4. Sometimes, with the music mod enabled, switching from Return of Rome back to the original main menu makes the original AoE2 main menu music play instead; switching to the Chronicles menu after that WILL erroneously play The Vikings Sagas main menu music.

  5. Parmenion didn’t die for this.

:play_button: EXPECTED RESULT

[TheVikingSagas] Main Menu Music mod shouldn’t affect the Chronicles main menu, same as it doesn’t currently affect Return of Rome main menu.
