Soundtrack Missing From the Game, Sold as Day One DLC

[°•♥•° MissBexyBaby °•♥•°]

When are we going to talk about the real issue here. In that Paradox thinks its ok to purposely strip a significant feature from the initial launch to sell it as DAY ONE DLC.

Once more, Paradox looking for every opportunity to rip off their loyal fanbase.

Unless this decision is reversed immediately and all Imperator Rome players receive the soundtrack as we should then I will not purchase a single other Paradox game even their published ones.

Same with the unit models. In EU 5 they will just sell the game code and you will have to compile it yourself.

The soundtrack should be included in the deluxe edition atleast. The deluxe actually has nothing in it.

It should be included in the base game, for ANY game. We should accept no less than this. It's time to stop letting cash hungry video game publishers rip us off

Just extract the soundtrack from the game's "Music" bank file in the "steamapps/Imperator/game/sounds/banks" folder using FMOD - problem solved.

First off all who ever buys a soundtrack DLC from a game, you already bought it, just get it out of your game files.

How exactly do you do that with FMOD Studio?

Apologies, I didn't mean to say that you use FMOD Studio to extract them - I used a tool called "FMOD Bank Tools", linked by a user named "xyloz" in the linked forum thread below.

Thanks!
I only get a music.txt empty file when I extract from music.bank.
Did you manage to extract the wav files?

If you aren't hearing music while in game, that's a bug.

Yeah, I did - I also managed to rebuild the music.bank with my own audio (hence how I was able to make my "Music Mod - Total War: ROME II Soundtrack" mod).

Basically, wherever you unpack the FMOD Bank Tools, you must put whatever bank file you want into the "bank" folder. Once that's done, you double click on the FMOD Bank Tools exe which will then open up a small window where you have the choice to either "Extract" or "Rebuild" - choose Extract. It will then extract whatever is inside the bank file into the "wav" folder in a new folder with the name of whatever bank file you're extracting from.

That's what I did and I get only an empty text file.
Music is working when I'm playing.
This is strange.

meh. I'd rather listen to Sabaton, Heliung, or literally any other music than what paradox makes you pay for

Lol, you do realize that that is just for listening to the music outside of the game, right? Its in the game, the soundtrack dlc is just for listening outside of the game, every other paradox title does this too, but usually its in the deluxe edition.

Plenty of games sell their soundtracks for listening to outside of the game.

Hey,

All our games have an OST DLC. It's just the in-game music in a format that you can use in music players.

There is a bug at the moment though that is causing some tracks to repeat more frequently than they should, making it seem like there isn't much music in the game, we're working on a fix.

Thanks,
