Issues fixed

Game crashes on startup

In order for the game to play music, the Windows Media Source Filter must be re-installed on newer versions of Windows
Install the Windows Media Source Filter codec[2]

Automatic Installation

  1. Download the music fix: DirectShow - Windows Media Filter - Vista Fix
  2. Extract the contents from the .zip file you just downloaded into a folder
  3. Right-click the ApplyPatch.bat and run it as administrator
  4. Launch the game and uncheck the "No Music" box to enable music

Notes

Your anti-virus might stop the file from executing, you may have to click "More info" and then "Run anyway"
If the text in the console window is red, then the patch failed copying a .dll file or registering dxmasf.dll
Install and register the Windows Media Source Filter codec[3]

Manual Installation

  1. Download the music fix: DirectShow - Windows Media Source Filter Fix v1.5
  2. Extract the contents from the .zip file you just downloaded
  3. Take ownership of the dxmasf.dll file in C:\Windows\SysWOW64 by changing the file permissions in the "Security" tab
  4. Delete the dxmasf.dll
  5. Copy drmclien.dll, strmdll.dll and dxmasf.dll from the .zip file to C:\Windows\SysWOW64
  6. Register dxmasf.dll with the DirectShow Filter Manager; DSFMgr.exe
  7. Music can be enabled in the "Configuration" menu before clicking "Play" to launch the game

Notes

This modification does not affect Windows Media Player file playback adversely


Alternative Fixes & Workarounds

Game Crashes on startup/randomly

Disable music in the game launcher[4]
  1. Launch Monopoly Tycoon
  2. Go to "Configuration".
  3. Tick the "No Music" box.
  4. Click "Play"

Notes

This does not provide a fix for the music and is only a workaround

Issues unresolved

Music skipping/looping issues on Windows 2000 and later

Disabling audio hardware acceleration in Windows XP makes the game's music choppy and intermittent
The music tracks in the background skip/stutter randomly
Sometimes the music cuts out suddenly and the game is left with only sounds, even when hardware acceleration is enabled.
