Windows 10 - No music.
So I recently upgraded to Windows 10. EQ (after a few hiccups) seems to work fine, but I did notice something was missing. While all the other sounds in the game (ambient, regular noise, NPC noise, and environment sounds) seem to work, music doesn't play. No combat music, no vendor music, nothing. I've tried changing things in my .ini files, I've tried changing my options back and forth. No music.
At this point I'm kinda out of ideas. I've tried different sound card (Razer Megalodon, Creative Soundblaster X-Fi Titanium HD), but that doesn't seem to do it either. If anyone has any ideas, let me know.

Nah. Thought you had to set up an account and it was full of adware or something? Never had to use it before.

You do have to make an account but the free version has the fixes most people need, just use a dummy e-mail for the account and you'll be fine. If you doubt the validity of me claiming it, the quote from Rogean is actually from the getting started guide

I read Win 8 and 10 have rewritten the way MIDI works, and all of pre-PoP EQ's music is MIDI-based.
Try the instructions given in this thread: https://www.project1999.com/forums/s...ad.php?t=81207 My own addendum: Quote:

Other than the no music part, the BassMidi drivers seem to work fine on Windows 10. I'll try out this workaround though anyway.

Yeah, tried this workaround, didn't fix it. It's not the end of the world for me, it's just the music, but still, it's rather annoying. Hopefully someone figures it out. I'll keep trying some new tricks and see what happens. While I'm loathe to use WinEQ2, I might even give it a shot. Seems it's just Windows 10 being a dick to me.

As much as I dislike WinEQ2's sales model, it's a pretty good program and it resolves a lot of issues that the stock EQ client has.
Also check out these coupons if you plan on buying it: http://couponfollow.com/site/lavishsoft.com | ||

Only 2 or so zones play music for me on Win7, wish I could find the cause. I think only the zones with an .mp3 file are playing, midis arent.

I would try what I suggested above, and perhaps try seeing if there is something related to MIDI that you can adjust with your sound card drivers. Also remember that few zones in EQ had zone-wide music; it's mostly atmospheric music in certain places that you go.
