Invulnerable sounds!

[Kriegsspieler]

Hi, Pavel --

Do you have any plans to post a new version of Aggressors? If so, may I please suggest that you add to the list of bug fixes one that will PERMANENTLY allow you to disable the music and sounds in the game? I find it annoying that every time I load the game it reverts to default settings.

Meanwhile, I recently got back into this game after a year off from it and find it is just as interesting and challenging as before. It's a nice piece of work.

Hello Kriegsspieler,
I am happy to hear that you have come back to Aggressors:)
Would you mind to tell me more about this:

You are saying that you turn off all the sounds and music in Game Options, play without them and once you start a game again, all these are turned back on? If so, there is a problem, it is not the way it should work. All the game options are saved together so can you try to change some of the game options (in sounds tab but also in another tab), exit the game and load again?

Ok, I've tried a couple of things, and here's what I found:

If you change some graphics settings like anti-aliasing and tree detail and then try to save them, the game forces you to reboot immediately as part of the save. Now if you first zero all audio settings and also uncheck the boxes in the audio tab (the UI is kind of confusing there -- why have both?), and then hit save, nothing happens except the box grays out. However, you can go to keyboard settings or graphics and make other changes, then save everything via the graphics save, then all saves will be preserved, including the audio settings.

However, if you now exit the game completely, even after a graphics-based save and reboot as described above, the audio settings revert to the default.

Hope this helps.

Would you mind to come to our Discord channel? I guess that the problem is that the game is not able to save the settings on your hard drive (probably because of insufficient permission-reasons).

I'll check in there later. Glad to know about it.
