My latest game the sound keeps cutting in and out. I wasnt sure at first if it was my speakers or their connection so I tried headphones and same thing. So it must be some new game bug I'm encountering.
The only thing different in this game from others is the map has a lot of water. I started it random generated and there are distinct land bridges cutting up the map into clear sections. I was able to figure this out early on so I placed one unit on guard on each bridge and thus have secured a huge swath of the map exclusively. I think though the game is having a hard time with dealing with this as when I finally crossed over into the rest of the map I saw a lot of the various factions' units aimlessly waiting to cross the land bridges.
Further in it's more of the same with more land bridges and the npcs have done the same blocking them with outposts. So the whole map is mostly a huge traffic jam and I'm thinking maybe this is causing the sound issues? As it makes that distinct boom noise when you can't move somehwere?
