Issues fixed
Game launching with no audio
Launch the game as administrator[10] |
---|
Some users report audio not playing after game is launched under some circumstances, even with proper rights. For some users this can be fixed by running the game as an administrator, although for some it cannot. The game doesn't generally require being launched as administrator for full functionality, and on some systems the absence of audio might not even persist between sessions. |
