Music changeing tracks too often/agressively ?

Post by Lunalis »

Anyone else have the feeling that the music changes too often all the time?
often it feels like i hear a track for 30 seconds then it cuts off and plays the next track...

instead of great background ambiance music it feels more like it pokes a needle in your brain every 30 seconds :?
i noticed it weeks ago already when people streamed a beta version, that somehow the music was weird back then already.
kinda makes me want to turn off the music and play some lofi space ambiance from youtube instead...
if i take stellaris as example, i didnt mind the music in that game atall.

I noticed something like that while in the ship designer. The same song would cut mid-track and repeat. Entirely possible it's more prevalent than that. Might want to report it in tech support just so they are aware of it.

Stellaris does have some pretty amazing synth tracks it must be said. I incorporated it into DW1 and I'll probably do the same to DW2 as well.

I've noticed that the music in this game doesn't use a traditional music player running a list of tracks, instead it seems to select specific tracks depending on what is presently on-screen. So if I zoom into a pirate battle it will switch tracks out to this higher beat fight track, when I zoom back out to manage something else the tracks will switch again. Not to say this doesn't need adjustment, but this may explain the sudden track cutting if you weren't aware.

After additional play hours I've experienced the audio cutting as well, it's quite grating. Was using ship designer when music audio cuts out, back in, and then out again in very short succession with the same track. Will definitely need some fine-tuning after the CTDs are dealt with.
