I was about to play but I cannot get the sound to work. 100s of hours and 100s of other games and I have never seen an issue like this. It’s like they proactively coded the software to do something weird with the sound. They even have a special “troubleshooting” panel that does next to nothing, but it proves they knew about this all the way back to 2008. Lucky me I just experienced it.
Do you have speakers and a headset? For some reason, it has weird defaults with multiple outputs.
1st step : check that windows mixer does not have the game mute or with very low volume or assigned to a wrong device.
2nd step : go to the “troubleshooting” tab, uncheck “enable” sound system" and apply. then check it again and apply again. The game only outputs to the system’s default device and does not change that if the os default device changes when you plug in a headset for exemple. This is how you can make the game change its output device to the current os default device.
