Bows sound like guns/firearms

[Myrmidon]

Yes I know it's a common issue. Yes I've looked for other threads and found many on steam and reddit. Many are very old though, many are also just full of people 'loling about how hilarious it all is' and others seem to have pointless advice like "I don't have X installed, oh okay well the solution is to uninstall X and then arguments over why it's irrelevent".

I've tried workshop mods in the past. I have at present unfavourited and unsubscribed from everything on the workshop. Uninstalled the game and reinstalled it. What else can I do to fix this? There seems to be an equal number of threads saying 'Darth Mod' fixes this as there are that Darth Mod causes it. I've never installed Darth Mod.

Any help from vets of Shogun 2 would be very appreciated.

Kind regards

Darth mod is a compilation mod and one of the mods on it causes it.
The same mod features in many mod packs.
Unfavouriting doesn't remove some workshop mods.
Regardless the fix I know works is called sinfonia semplice, just google ''Shogun 2 Sinfonia Semplice'' and you should find a link to it, it is basically a mod that fixes the sound bug caused by other mods.

As far as I am aware it isn't on steam workshop so just google and mod it the old fashioned way.

Ah I see thanks for the info. I have come across this sinfonia semplice thing in other threads but again it's been everything from installing this, uninstall this, this is the culprit, this is the fix, install it only if you have X turned on, make sure you don't download it if you have Y turned etc. Confusing as hell. Gonna have a more indepth read now.

Appreciate your time dude.

I have this where certain archer units use cannon firing sounds. The way I got rid of this issue was downloading a mod off the workshop that replaced the cannon firing sound with just a blank file, so yeah cannons don't make any noise now, but I also don't go deaf everytime more than 5 archers fire.

Cannon sound killer. I Made that mod

And my ears love you immensely for it <3

make sure that if you have no mods enabled to disable or it can cause the sound as well

Any mod that edits units_land_tables can cause it. From recolor mods to additional unit mods, to overhauls, they have the potential to add that annoying cannon archer sound. Is there any way to repack the sound database without sinfonia? i used it before and it only shuffled the cannon sound to another random unit.

Yeah could shuffle it to something no one in their right mind would ever use like... Yari Samurai ;D
