Title: Unable to load my game: DigitalSound could not be read
Post by: Pollux on Fri 05/07/2019 07:15:40
Hi there,

I am new here and I have two things.

First is about this forum. When you have incorrect answers in the quiz you have to fill before registrations, it recommends you to read FAQ, but you can't acces FAQ without having an account here. It's clearly a bug.

Now my AGS problem. When I am trying to load a game, it shows this

So I can't load it. Is there a solution ho to fix it or my work is lost?

Note: I totally cannot access my game.
Note: It says I should use newer version of AGS, but it's the newtest.

Thank you!
M.

You need AGS 3.4.3, this is where DigitalSound was added to default setup settings.
Which one are you using?

For anything forum/site related, please post in the section: https://www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk/forums/index.php?board=19.0
I don't know if site admin will notice otherwise.

Well it seems I have installed two versions

AGS Editor .NET (Build 3.4.1.12)
AGS Editor .NET (Build 3.4.1.15)

Can uploading a music in the game in one version and opening it in the other cause the error?:D

Simply saving game in a newer version will often make it impossible to open in older versions.

The "DigitalSound" property was added in 3.4.3: https://www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk/forums/index.php?topic=56887.0

It seems the 3.4.3 version is not really OK with sound neither.

This is a different problem though, it's related to runtime engine now.

Could you tell what sound drivers are selected in winsetup?

It's set like this:

I think I solved it tho - it seems to be caused by Avast Antivirus.

Avast doesn't like AGS games for some reason :)
