[BUG] Long Sound Effect Delay

[MrComrade]

When I start up every/any game of TagPro, there is no music or sound effects for about 10-20 seconds. Then suddenly ill hear the countdown, "GO!", and all the sound effects so far, all at once. Then it works for a bit, then it happens again.

So basically I have a big sound delay problem, and have not found any threads that are quite like mine yet. I know it has to do with my laptop though, because my desktop runs it fine.

Thanks

What kind of computer is it and how old is it? What operating system are you using? Also - what browser are you using and does this happen in any browser you use?

[MrComrade]

I think the laptop is around 4-5 years old. It is a HP Pavillion g6 Notebook with Windows 10. It happens in every browser I use. (I have tried Chrome, Firefox and Edge; I use Firefox when I play TagPro)

It is a pretty crappy laptop, but figure TagPro is easy to run.

That's strange stuff. My guess is that it's a driver issue. Can you ensure you have the latest sound drivers installed for your laptop for Windows 10?

[MrComrade]

Not sure why I didn't think of that but I definitely can check.

[MrComrade]

My sound driver did need updated, and from what I can tell it helped. Music and sound effects do not lag anymore in game, which was the main issue. However, the music and sound effects (Countdown and "GO!") are still delayed at the start. I can deal with that if there is no other solution.

[MrComrade]

Scratch that comment above, still seem to have issues, had one game with delayed sound and another with no sound at all.

In a game that is having issues, can you check to see if you have any JS errors? CTRL+SHIFT+J will bring up the JS console, just copy/paste anything you see into here.

I am running Cam's Pixel Perfect texture pack, which I am assuming is causing all the particle texture errors.

Sorry, I'm out of ideas. I'm going to close this for now but update if you have any breakthroughs.
