[BUG] How to get main menu BGM to shuffle
I found out this accidentally so I thought it was good to tell anyone:

The way SF5 handles main menu music seems to have changed from previous version. Where previously you could choose a set number of tracks and have them play in order, the game now allows you to choose any number of tracks and to pick a new one at random each time you go back to the main menu.
The problem is, the "new" BGM music function doesn't seem to be working automatically for those who already had SF5 installed on their PC.

tl;dr
If you want BGM music to shuffle AND you already had SF5 installed before last update:
- close the game
- go into the %appdata%\Local\StreetFighterV\Saved\SaveGames\ folder
- delete GameSystemSave.sav file
- restart the game (the game will usually prompt you again to accept legal stuff and show targets infos but it's only a one timer)
- go into Options > Audio Settings > Menu BGM Settings > choose "all BGM" and set the second parameter to "disable"
- pick the themes you want in BGM list
Now each time you go back into the main menu it will load a random theme from the ones you've chosen! Yay!
You'll usually need to set some things back like the character voices but otherwise it's fine.

If you want to still have your old playlist, just don't do anything and you will keep the game as it was.
For those who freshly installed the game, there is probably no way to get the old playlist again unfortunately.


P.S. FYI, GameProgressSave.sav is where all your progress for story, survival or challenges is saved. If you delete that file everything will be reset to zero and you'll have to replay the first tutorial, but as soon as you log in once again all the FM, Exp, colours and characters you previously owned will automatically be restored (and you won't be able to redo things again to get more FM/Exp).
