Having No Audio Devices Breaks the Game

If you open the game without any audio devices plugged in, it boots up straight into the error message "unable to open requested audio format with sdl_mixer.wasapi can't find requested audio endpoint: element not found" followed by a list of all the audio that it couldn't load(all the audio in the game). Essentially game can't run without outputting audio on start. It's also not ok to unplug it afterward, though I don't know if it further crashes the game or just kills the audio.

Reason being I can't even get the visuals to work, it's just a white screen. Might have something to do with my "Intel(R) HD Graphics display driver" crashing and recovering everytime I open the game. I'm admittedly running an old pc so I get it if it's just not compatible, but I'm hoping it's a bug and not a problem of outdated hardware. I know it's actually running since the audio is coming out, and it's a pretty banger theme song but beyond that no inputs or anything does something with noticeable auditory feedback.


Here's to hoping it's only a bug on start up that just needs a refresh rather than my pc being completely unable to render the game. Can't help more with the audio bug, since I can't actually check if it crashes the game or cuts out audio permanently, but it stopping the game from launching at all is a bit much for a nsfw game.

Hmm, I have never considered the case where "requested audio format with sdl_mixer" would actually fail, given that even crappy phones nowadays can play all the audios no problem. I do know that given what you said about "Intel(R) HD Graphics display driver" chances are you have a weak PC and/or weak/non-existent graphics card. 

It's always tough to run actual 3D games without newer PCs or without dedicated graphic cards and I'm not sure if there is much that can be done beyond "get a new PC"
