Sound disappears after playing

Post by geppy44 »

I've been playing Legend of Grimrock 2 since it came out and haven't had any problems with bugs or audio problems. I beat the game a few days ago and today I thought I would start another play through, but after playing the game for about 10 minutes all sound just disappears completely and I need to restart the game to get it to work again. Apart from the audio the game works completely fine. (The audio disappearing also includes the music in the main menu.)

Sounds like the notorious APU (Audio processing unit) overheating bug of the Grimrock engine. Download APU-Z and check the APU temperature, should stay below 180°C. Consider nitrogen cooling or reduce the sampling rate from 48KHz to 2kHz (just Nyquist for main audible frequency) !

PS: Joking aside, have not heard of that issue before... send a mail to the devs
