Music loss

[Architect]

Not sure if this has been covered before.

Any one know why the music stops playing after about three minutes. Doesn't seem to matter which track is playing either.

Running alpha 60 on windows xp machine.

All other sound effects are still ok. Have added dxmci.dll just incase it was an old version but doesn't help.

I had this problem and cured it by setting "Safe Mode" to on in the TTD Main Configuration Control Panel accessed via TTDX Configurator.

Thanks Altern8or

Tried your suggestion and it works. Wonder what safe mode resets as all alpha switches are still active.

In fact I switched safe mode off again and music is still ok. hmm must reset something in the registry i guess.

Thanks again Altern8or.

Hi,
Glad to be of useful assistance, not sure what the Safe Mode actually does but I run with it all the time and it doesn't seem to make any difference to the game apart from the fact that the music works!

ATB,
