Re: You really need to play Eschatos

I keep getting the error message "Failed to initialize sound device" as soon as I press start on steam. The application refuses to work. I've tried uninstalling, reinstalling. I've disabled all sound devices, reinstalled sound drivers. Deleted the config file. It never ends. And it's the only game I have doing this. All my other steam shmups work fine. Can anyone help with this?

EDIT: I managed to get a pirated version to work. But it's quite sad. Dunno why I should pirate a game I've purchased! This is why I hate PC gaming so much, because of all this troubleshooting that comes with it.

EDIT2: running the pirated version of the game seems to have fixed the steam version!! I think I figured out the problem. The problem only occurs when I change the music version from "original" to "arranged". Dunno why this is happening, iirc i paid extra for the arranged sound!

I guess moral of the story. Piracy saves the day. lol

My Steam version works but the moment I select arranged music in the menu the game crashes :(

If anyone has a fix for this I would be very happy!

I have the same issue, I'm still trying to figure it out. Weird because it was working perfectly fine last week with arrange music.

Nice to see it is fixed, strangely the steam update info is kind of silent about it!

In normal mode, what are the icons that appear in the bottom-right corner?

edit: nvm I figured it out soon after posting - they indicate the area number.
