    This could not be reproduced. Could anyone else collaborate this as a persistent issues?

    That's too bad. Currently I mostly play in Icewind Dale with my GWF. Other powers besides IBS don't have out-of-sync sound. I'll check again at different locations to get an idea if it is related to the loaction. Also I'll ask others playing GWF.

    It appears that all fire assets that glow blue or greenish make the tortured screaming noise. It is most eerie, but probably not the effect you were going for.

    New music not playing live, even if playing in music preview...

    It's great to have new music in the foundry, but there's a problem with all the new tunes, both the new module 3 music, and the music that was bugged before and didn't play, even if they play in the music preview, they don't play neither in testplay, or when published.
    This makes all new music useless...
    i this happening to everyone or just me?

    They are not (tried with caer konig track) playing by default when set to immediately. You need a trigger for it. Sometimes i am using "OnLoad" place marker, positioned right at (or nearby in the way PC is expected to go) the map entry spot, to trigger some things. And ofc as usual it wont play when set as an exterior backdrop (and not possible to set it for interior room "ambient" sound).

    Found the problem and checked in a fix. Should get to you in the coming weeks. The following events were tested to make sure they work properly:


    Winter Event
    Caer Konig
    Icewind Pass
    Dwarven Valley
    Summer Festival Dancers

    If there are more malfunctioning music events that do not play live please let us know.

    Thank you for your patience.

    I don't expect it to get fixed for this year obviously, but there are a huge number of audio and text mis-matches with Elminster's Fedex dailies for the Jubilee. Enough of them that I think it might be easier to just go through them internally than to try to compile a list of errors because there are so many quests and we might only see some of them.

    There's also one where the voice actor really blatantly flubs a line and corrects himself. It's in the Whispering Caverns, but I'll try to note that quest name if it comes up again.

    Well that's certainly embarrassing :/

    If you can come up with the specific quest that would be great. Otherwise we'll go through the WC lines and see if we can snuff it out.

    Thanks!

    Elminster's quest with the voice acting error is The Northdark Report, if my guildie remembered correctly. Hope that helps. It never came up again for me.

    Not sure what you can do about voice acting, but as reported here

    Jarl is actually pronounced in the Scandinavian manner, Yarl.

    I'll take this to the proper channels and see if we can get the actor to do a pickup in future recordings. Thanks!

    I finally got onto preview and noticed that the new ToD NPCs (the Harper and company) are audible no matter where you are in PE, and I think you can hear them speaking their intro lines whenever somebody else interacts with them. It was sort of hard to tell.

    Thanks! We're investigating now. Hopefully we can get in a fix before ToD releases but it may not get implemented until week 2.

    Some foundry sound bugs:

    I noticed that lately all music is mixed under the "looping" category, even if it's not looping music at all. If I search for one time music there's just ONE that show up, all the rest is under the "looping" category, this is pretty bad because I need real looping music and testing them one by one is a very long and tiring process.
    I hope it can be fixed in the future. :)

    Hrmm... I can certainly see how that would be frustrating. We'll take a look! Thanks!

    Heya Reiwulf, just wanted to let you know that last week we went through and made a point of updating all of the music events with proper tags. The fix should go live some time next week or the week after. So now one shot music events will be properly catgorized under the one shot category.

    Thanks!

    i seem to be having audio issues where i'm hearing looping background noise. this actually sounds like it's a reverse atmospheric noise. and not all expected sound happens all the time. this is in all maps. I've rebooted my system and restarted the game but it doesn't seem to help. it seems like there is a reduced number of sounds that can be played at the same time... like a synthesizer has a limited number of simultaneous voices (called polyphony). should i submit a ticket?

    This bug has been going on since Beta. It was reported, and hell, I even sent a bug report, but it still hasn't been fix. I took a small hiatus, and come back, and it's still there. I've been through two sound cards, updated drivers, and it is still there. Maybe I should write a letter to Statesman and tell him to take a peek at his Neverwinter team and look at the growing list of bugs. LoL

    Sigh... we've gone in to fix this several times now and it continues to be a thorn in our side. We have just put in a fix again, hopefully for the last time. So sorry about the delay. It should be fixed in the next couple of weeks.
