Rise of Nations: Extended Edition

Rise of Nations: Extended Edition

Tab-out = no audio bug...why wasnt this fixed before release?
After alt tabing there is no audio when goign abck to the game...
this also happens when one hits the windows key during the game.

Looks like this studios QA FAILED yet again....

Get over it. Every thread you've been in so far you are whinging about something. Get outside and take a deep breath... ♥♥♥♥ is bound to go wrong, nothing is flawless.

^^ I agree with this. Besides, if you just focused on playing the game without alt tabbing its a non issue. Like devastator, a lot of people have a stick so far up their butts that just pushes them to whine moan and complain.

I have the game, have played it with people across the globe, dont tab out, 0 problems.

I agree, making these post solves nothing, instead post what you are doing? For me it only happens when I click on buttons in the Library to upgrade. Why are you alt tabbing? Have you tried to bring up the Steam interface before alt tabbing? Have you paused the game? Have you done any troubleshooting besides posting to the forums? Obvs. This is not affecting everyone, what is your GPU, CPU, and OS?

I am not paid for this, :-)
it is just obvious that the QA team dropped the ball on such a simplistic issue.

yeah... it happened to me, and then i spent almost 2 hours playing in multiplayer... the game runs just fine from my opinion, other than that being the only flaw ive seen so far, this is like a dream come true, the graphics have been improved and the fact that multiplayer is functional with some lag is amazing... im just glad the game works, just dont alt tab if you wanna listen to the in game sounds.

I guess you never owned a quality product then, and you enjoy being fed crap...thats ok with me...go live your life like that child.

Games now days are released with a lot of problems. AAA games have a lot of bugs and they take their time to fix them. It isn't easy to fix bugs cause then you have to make sure that that fix doesn't create another bug. give them some time and they will fix it. If you don't want buggy game, don't buy it immediatly. wait like a month when they fixed a lot of bugs. I don't like this trend of releasing buggy games, but it is what video game companies are doing...

I am just glad I never bought the game, a friend of mine was kind enough to gift it to me...but anyhow I agree with you...people are gettign dumber, and have lower expectations nowadays, so devs see that, and take advantage of that, and instead of release a actualy workign game , they take their merry time to patch thigns months later....if at all...a a lot of people cant play ac3 because fo the framerate bug that ubisoft enver fixed , even years later...thats just one example ....its tiem people start suporting devs/voding with their wallets, pathtic devs should just go bancrupt, and those that actually work to achieve a nice product should get rewarded....simple.

"why wasnt this fixed before release?"

Because they didn't have to with people lining up to throw money at something they hadn't seen yet.

Don't forget..before this business practice started, game companies were able to and DID release games that actually functioned on the vast majority of systems meeting the requirements.

Well, clearly there is a problem with the sound, which is the real issue. "just don't tab out" isn't a good fix. Especially for me, where there simply is NO sound at all past the opening splash screens.

Bottom line; there is something seriously buggy with sound, and we shouldn't have to find work arounds to a game that was just a rerelease of an already existing game.
This has been fixed- see latest patch notes. No workaround needed. :p2chell:

Confirmed, the issue was fixed...now if only multilpayer worked ;-)

Even some 2 player matches (once I am lucky they load), end up with units stuttering once every couple seconds, also the oponents desync as well....
