Failed to play audio file: problems with NAudio?

[YongZHU02]

I tried to start up this exciting game on Mac OS through Wine. With the following environment settings:

• Win10 32bit
• .NET 4.8
• XNA 4.0
• VC++ 2015-2022

It successfully ran for the first time (with audio) and I enjoyed it for a while. However, after the very first time I started it up, it failed to play the audio files every time.

I tried to uninstall the game and recreate the whole Wine environment many times, but this problem still existed.

I am not sure whether there's some other environment component that I forgot to install? (So far as I know, NAudio is related to .NET, but I already got it.) And not understand why it succeeded for the first time and failed in the following.

Thank you for spending time reading this issue!

Checking the log file, there was a warning as follows:

Try the following versions: .Net 3.5 vcredist 2010 XNA 3.1

These are the versions that shipped on my copy of the game. I hope that resolves the issue for you,

@VenteF Thank you for your suggestion!

 The game itself required the .NET above 4.8.



I finally solved this problem with the following:
 On Mac:


• Crossover 24.0.1

• Win10 64bit bottle

• .NET 4.8
• vcredist 2010/2017

• XNA 4.0

I hope my experience helps.
