Foundry glitch - backdrop sound

Just wondering, my backdrop sounds are not playing at all in my foundry tests. Will these actually be there during the published mission? As in, is it a glitch only in testing or will these sounds not make it to live?

Not a big deal, can always place a sound marker. Just wondering.

    Some FX and some Music doesn't work at all even in edit mode, but even if it gets through it won't work when publish.

    Sound markers do not work. Only some room sounds work.

    This is a known bug and should be fixed in a large foundry update coming - for now to get ambient sound or music to play open up a room property tab and choose the sound there. The placeable sounds are not firing off correctly at this point until patched.

    It's Patrick Stewart, but the dialogue says, "Use the force, Harry. ~Gandalf"

    It's a pretty funny pic heh. I could send you a full sized one if you want.

    If I place them in my mission, will they fire off after the patch hits? Without having to go back into a published quest to edit it?

    I can understand if that is "unknown."

    No, that's ok. Glad to know it's Patrick Stewart though. I love that dude.

    This only work for interior maps however. For exterior maps, there is no work around to make either place able sounds or Backdrop sounds work.

    There are some exceptions.

    If the sounds is ATTACHED to another object, such as animals, fire, etc, then that sound will work.

    I really appreciate someone on the Dev side updating us on this issue. I literally have a mission that is more or less ready to publish and I won't do it until this sound bug is fixed due to how extensively I use placed audio, so it's a big issue for me.

    Actually, we were updated on the issue that is was being fixed in the Foundry closed beta...sometime back before BW3, and several times since then.

    No offense, Cryptic, but I will believe it when I see it (or hear it I supposed)
