Do you have sound when you start the game bypassing the launcher (via exefile)?

It's a smoother launch to run the game via exefile, but whenever I do that, I have no sound. Anybody else with thie problem?

I could suspect that it has something to do with me using hardlinks to refer to the game on another drive, but both the resulting profile folders are identical and it still happens. I only had one time where I had sound after running exefile, and ironically that was after the game had crashed.

nope aok here.
note however that, depending on your arguments, you may end up with the user specific config files in some other location, meaning you may have to re-enable sound.

The thing is: Sound is activated, but nothing is audible.
(I now figured out that the launch location is irrelevant. I just used a different path.)

Although funnily now that I decided to write about it, it is working again.
(And if writing about a problem fixes it - I won't complain. Then this thread has served its purpose. At least for now.)
