Hey.  I'd like to report a bug.  Whenever I tried to load up the gallery or attempt to enter the Hotel I get the following message:

"Game has encountered a bug.  Please report it.

Error: Failed to load: audio/bgm/Night%20Light%20-%20Gano%20-%20(gutter%20hub%20theme).ogg at Function.ResourceHandler.fetchWithRetry (AudioStreaming.js:246:27)

Press F5 to restart the game."

I did try pressing F5, but the game wouldn't restart.  I've also tried closing the application and relaunching; and also uninstalling and re-installing.  The bug still persists.  Any idea on what could be causing this?

Note: I've been having this since I purchased the game (I purchased before Content Pack 2 was released).  I'm sorry for reporting this so late, but I was under the impression a file was missing and the issue would be fixed with Content Packs 2 and 3, but I've ended up with egg on my face!

A few of the recent revisions had intermittent audio streaming issues due to one of my pre-loaders screwing up caching, but that was adjusted and fixed before this version went out. A more likely culprit is that RPGMaker doesn't like where you've put it. Avoid deep directories (a folder in a folder in a folder...), the system drive (where you have windows), external drives, and anywhere with unusual permissions set. It may also be worth checking www\audio\bgm to confirm that the file in question is indeed there (the %20s are just spaces). Sometimes overzealous antivirus likes to munch various files right out of the install, (although usually those are dlls, not audio files) and it's possible your unzip process failed at some point (although unlikely).

If you've done a fresh unzip, in a "safe" location, you're sure the file is there and you're still getting the error (especially in a really reproducible way, like every time you try to start the gallery) let me know.

HUZZAH!!!  It has worked!!!

I unzipped this in an external drive originally, so the first thing I did per your suggestion is check to make sure the file is there, and it was!  So with confirmation that the file was not missing, the only logical conclusion is what you made out as the ultimate cause behind this: RPGMaker no like deep, dark directories!  Instead, I unzipped it in the Downloads directory and it is now working as I'm able to enter the Gallery and go into the Hotel without issue!

Thanks a million and sorry if I missed the resolution to this on earlier forums!

Excellent! And no worries, I know there's a lot to dig though. I might put together a short "try this first" list at some point and put it at the top of the bug report threads, but for now it's easy enough to just pass on the tips to people when needed. Glad to help!
