Not sure where to post - Can't initialize direct music audio

Post by oneredblock »

And it's preventing me from playing the game. Upon launching, I get this message, and the error report thing shows up. Whatever I click on it will close the game. Is this a common issue, and is there a fix?

This usually indicated (when I encountered it) that no audio device was plugged in to the PC. Plugging in speakers or headphones fixed it for me.

I stop in from time to time to check in on the community. Though I don't spend much time with shipmaker anymore.

Editing the bfconfig.ini file so that it goes from this:

[Sound]
MusicVol = 40

To this:

[Sound]
MusicVol = 0

Should also disable all the music, which should get you around the error.
