More out of curiosity than anything else, does changing the audio backend to sdl behave differently, as in this similar topic https://forums.factorio.com/viewtopic.php?p=566986#p566986 ? I have no practical way of troubleshooting theses issues at the moment so I would agree with Rseding, with anythi...

We discussed something similar a while ago and it came down to the problem of defining what is considered combat. Basically what ssilk said, the last thing we want is to play some epic combat music when there's a single biter nibbling on a wall somewhere. So it's a no for automatic combat music. You...

I would need to dig into it to try to find the actual problem, unfortunately I don't have a way to reproduce this problem on my own. It was just a try to see what happens. The audio backend is a library that is responsible for sending data to the audio interface/hardware. Factorio uses Allegro audio...

Is there any difference if you use SDL audio backend (Ctrl-Alt-Click settings => The rest => audio-backend and then restart the game. Or you can edit the config.ini, search for audio-backend and change that line to "audio-backend=sdl", no semicolon at the beginning)?

This has been fixed for next release.

Off the top of my head I'm no sure how a sound that starts playing gets interrupted unless you go out of audible range. If you have a save or a clip with this specific behaviour, I'd look into it more. In general, yes, with an attack wave you can easily hit the maximum sounds limit and there's nothi...

Ah, I see. As long as you figured it out it's all good.

If you post a clip of the issue you're having and your config, I can look further, but as far as I can tell the simulation volume setting is working correctly.
Just to be sure we're on the same page, the simulation volume refers to the main menu background simulations.

We can consider it.
Out of curiosity, could you elaborate why do you prefer it playing only once? Do you often find yourself in the main menu for a long time?

Thank you for the report. The issues with artillery wagon's working sound has been fixed internally already but is not scheduled for release at the moment. The cargo wagon does play its working_sound, however it's very quiet, I'd have to check if that was fixed already as well. If not, we'll do anot...

Thank you for the report, the main menu music playback is now fixed for 1.1.49.

Leaving this as a minor issue for 1.1. Will be revisited later.

Hello

I was unable to reproduce the crash, I tried 1.1.45 and 1.1.46. Moving to Pending.
