Custom music support is broken

[Sborraman VINDICATED]

With the last update the Cybergrind music folder no longer detects audio files of any formats.

I previously had the folder of mp3 tracks detected with no problem and now my previously added custom music is gone and when I try to select custom from the track select the game doesn't list any content.

Bravo Hakita, one of the updates of all times

[MMRBKane]

Same here.

[Energy Vampire]

Happening to me as well, so glad it's not just me being dumb

[ThunderStruck115]

Yeah, I had the same issue. It seems like any tracks that you currently have added in your playlist work fine, but when I try to add or switch, it doesn't recognize any of my music files.

For now, I'm stuck on Nero Forte by Slipknot

Same issue here. Came to discussions to make sure I wasn't alone with this issue. Hopefully it gets fixed really soon, I was hoping to vibe out in cybergrind without needing to open youtube in the background.

Strange. Like I said I previously had my custom playlist but with the last update it was obliterated into existence for some reason. Glad you still have the old music doe

copy the output and paste it into slot1.json, located in ULTRAKILL\Preferences\Playlists

We must spread the ancient scrolls far and wide.

Doesn't seem to work, I've put the output json into the playlist folder, ingame they are recognized but they don't play at all
