warpmaster Posted July 17, 2006 Share Posted July 17, 2006 Hi all! I have some trouble with Gold Edition of X-Com: TFTD. I have downloaded the 2 X-Com, 1 and 2. The installation of X-COM:Ufo defense have no problems. Graphics ok, sound ok, music ok. But in Terror from the Deep, the music no work. -I install the game in a directory folder, C:\X-com2. -I rename the terror.exe to Terror from the deep.exe, and i execute the patch, ldr_XCOM2.exe-The music only works in presentation(trailer) of the game(because is a video).-I start the new game and all works correctly. Graphics and sound(sound of the buttons, shoots of the weapons,etc.), but not the music. If i start a combat mission i can listen the shoots,bombs, etc. but not the music What can i do? Thanks a lot.

NKF Posted July 17, 2006 Share Posted July 17, 2006 The game uses sythesiser sequences for the music. Since you're playing the collectors edition of TFTD, the game uses actual midi files. You might want to check your midi/synth sound volumes in Window's volume control. To test your midi/synth sound volumes while you're adjusting it, you can open up any of the midi files in the game's sounds\ folder and play that while you're changing your volume settings. - NKF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bomb Bloke Posted July 18, 2006 Share Posted July 18, 2006 If you have difficulty finding your midi volume, it's often referred to a the synth in your volume settings. Don't see that either? Select "Options" then "Properties" and make sure the relevant check box is ticked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
warpmaster Posted July 18, 2006 Author Share Posted July 18, 2006 I think that my problem is more serious unfortunately. I have revised the sound controls, the midi bar and all is ok. The midis in sound folder, sound well. But, when i execute the ldr_XCOM2.exe and games start, i have the same trobule. The music is off. Then, i jump to the windows(while, the game is being executed) and try another time, the midi sound folder and now, the midis executed with Media Player don't sound.I don't know if i am explain well the situation Thanks. PD: its strange, in x-com:ufo all works good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bomb Bloke Posted July 18, 2006 Share Posted July 18, 2006 Checking the FilePlanet download, I see the TFTD version has a different patch version then the UFO one - Since I know f0dders patch is also supposed to fix a music issue of some sort, perhaps extracting these updated versions to your game folder and running them instead will help?loaders.zip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks by the information, but not work Perhaps is the diferent version that you comment, the problem of all. I don't know. I will have to continue playing X-Com: UFO Are there another way to play x-com2?mmm, Dos simulator or something? I don't find this option in forum.

SHKB Posted August 21, 2006 Share Posted August 21, 2006 Hi, sorry to bring up an old thread but the problem was never solved and I've been having the same problem until now. I have an Audigy 2 sound card and it turns out that the midi drivers don't work with the CE versions, in control panel load up 'Sounds and Audio Devices' click the 'Audio' tab and change the default midi device to 'Microsoft GS Wavetable SW Synth' also tick 'Use only default devices'. I now have working music and I can finally play X-COM again ...now to get Apoc working Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bomb Bloke Posted August 29, 2006 Share Posted August 29, 2006 Ooh, changing the default midi device! I'll have to remember that one! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mouse Nightshirt Posted September 17, 2006 Share Posted September 17, 2006 Resurrection again: I'm having the same bother and nothing I do seems to work. Midi sounds work fine in Windows, but not ingame. I've tried all 4 midi devices I have, and only one allows midis to be played in Windows. I'm a bit lost here. I've tried everything above. Any further ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bomb Bloke Posted September 18, 2006 Share Posted September 18, 2006 So you can play the midi files used by the game, but the game won't play them. f0dder's patch doesn't fix it, you're sure your midi volume isn't muted, and the various devices don't work either. I'm stumped again. Only things I can think of involve upgrading DX/sound drivers. What OS are you using, by the way? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NKF Posted September 18, 2006 Share Posted September 18, 2006 What about having your midi player play the music while you're running the game? I cannot guarantee that this will fix your problem, but something should happen. - NKF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
