No Audio past starting cutscene

[midnight rain]

Just like the title says, there is no audio at all in the game for me after the first animatic cutscene, I have tried making a new save, making a new save and skipping the cutscene, verifying the game files, reinstalling the game and the other options that where suggested in another bug report. I currently don't have a save file anymore, but I can make a new one if required

Hello!

Here's a link to the thread where we tried to solve the audio issue - ⁠#1138636849066283008 message

At the very end of the thread there are step-by-step instructions on what to try.

I just tried the steps and can send you the dxdiag.txt in dm's if you want

I tried using the audio beta thing mentioned in that thread but it wasn't available for me.

My Fiancé did tell me to mention that I have an Elgato Wave 3 microphone which adds 8 different playback devices + the headphone slot
I have a corsair headset so I am using the ICUE software for this so my headset is functional.
I hope this extra info may be able to narrow down this issue :)

Alongside the audio issue I also got another oddity That being upon booting up the game for the first time and resetting my save from before the EA which I only once booted up and never made progress in I got the Elevating Cosmopolis and Power of the Sun Achievements (I have 33 minutes in the game whith most of them trying to troubleshoot the audio issue)

We're currently working on preparing a new build for tracking audio errors. As soon as it is ready and uploaded, I'll tell you how to switch to it.

For now - yes, dxdiag.txt might help.

And I'll go and google about Elgato mic and the ICUE thing, thanks for the info 🙂

As for the achievements - it is a known issue, we'll release a hotfix soon, it should fix that among other things.

Tried sending a dm with the txt file and got the error that I cant send dm's to you :c

Hi, we prepared a special build to identify the problem. But we need your help as we can't catch this bug on our side. This build will generate extra log files to give us more information on what's wrong with audio output.

Please follow this steps:

1. Find the game in library -> right click -> properties -> betas. Then type in this password: iamfuturetestaudio. You'll get access to the beta-branch called "audio_logs_extended". Please jump into it. The game will be updated. After you run it, you'll see version "1.0.0.002r-fmodtest" in main menu.
2. Start a new game and go through you appear on the roof and indicate that there's no sound in the game.
3. Exit the game and send us full "I Am Future" folder with saves and logs. To find it: Press “Win+R” and paste there this path: %UserProfile%\AppData\LocalLow\Mandragora\I Am Future
4. After that you can opt-out the beta to get updates for the game in the future

Will do either later today or tomorrow first thing!
