Hey hey! I tried out the demo and ran immediately into a bug -- my game's music skips. Whatever track it's trying to play, it plays like two measures of it and then just starts over again, repeats continuously; happens both on the initial load screen and in-game and the bug persists between zones on all music. I'm on Win10. I've fiddled with all the config options, tried win 7/win 8 compatibility mode, admin mode. Even made a new login account for Windows to see if it was anything wonky with my own main Windows account but no dice. My roomie has the full game and it doesn't do the same thing on her machine (she still runs Win7) -- she totally gets the full tracks playing. Any clues or solution to toss my way? I couldn't find this issue mentioned anywhere so I guess I get to be the very lucky special unicorn with this one.

Oh that's interesting, you're the first to report this one! Have you tried running it through the 32 bit sound drivers? I'll mess around with it on my roommate's Win10 machine to see if I can figure it out!

edit: Just realized that first sentence might've sounded sarcastic, so I wanted to clarify I do in fact find rare bugs legitimately interesting 😅

Thanks! If there's anything else I can provide to you (like a dxdiag or whatever), just lmk. I'm not sure how to use 32 bit sound drivers though -- I'll poke around here and see if I can find out how.

Update: tried to install the 32 bit drivers for my system but it wouldn't let me (I guess since Win 10 is a 64 bit OS), so I'm clueless otherwise. Sorry. :( That said, I'll continue to play the demo and just have the music off -- alas!

Hey again! So I *think* I might have a potential fix - if you pop open the Slasher U folder and open Game.cfg (which should open as a text file), change where it says "SEandBGM=3" to "SEandBGM=2". Fingers crossed!!

Well THAT worked! I thought I had tried all those permutations but it looks like either I didn't...or the moons aligned. The music is now playing fully, with no skipping. Amazing! Thank you!

Yesss I'm so glad!!! Enjoy :D
