DJoneK Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 Recently updated to 12.79 and misteriously the arcade ambience mp3 sounds stopped playing. After digging around in the setup wizard, everything appeared ok. I decided to take a peek at the gameex.ini located in Gamex/CONFIG/ and it shows the following:AmbienceFile=L:\-DATA-\-MP3-\4 Non Blondes\4 Non Blondes - What's Up.mp3AmbianceFile=C:\ProgramData\arcade.mp3Apparently it got overwritten with that and even when I point it to my correct path (a folder) in the setup wizard, it's not overwriting/removing that.Now, the only way I got mine to work again was by removing those 2 lines and leaving the path for "AmbienceFolder" which was correct.Just thought I would share. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ClassicGMR Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 I thought it was something I was missing. After reading this I checked my GameEx.ini file and it is the exact same line. Glad I'm not going crazy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Draco1962 Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 @Tom - Not sure if you have a quick answer for this one. If I recall correctly, all one needs to do is point to the ambience folder and GameEx will play whatever sound file is in there (and randomly select if multiples).

ClassicGMR Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 12.83 fixed it. At the time I believe the location was actually hardcoded to a location on the L:\ drive. I can only assume this is where Tom keeps his files. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
