FAQ:
I no longer hear the SFX or see the New Area Discovered UI when discovering new locations, what's going on?
I'm not certain if this is a bug with saving / loading but sometimes loading the same saved game a couple times will prevent the "New Area Discovered" mechanic from triggering. A possible work around for this is to load a different save then loading that other save again. Sometimes restarting the game in combination with the above works.
Also, I think this is related to the zones in the world. For example, after loading my new player sewers save then when I exit the sewers early in the game, the next zone loads like brand new and I can trigger the New Area Discovered visual and sound as normal. This could also mean when you start entering / exiting zones and then discover a new location it might load as normal again.
Note: We are all learning how to work with Unreal in this game so I might oversee technical details which could result in this bug from happening.Can I make a request for a different sound?
I am not taking requests at this time, sorry!
How can I learn to swap sounds in Oblivion Remastered?
I made a tutorial on the forums, you can find it here. :-)
Cool! Do you got more mods?
