Unspoken audio tracks in RM

Homeworld Remastered Collection Remastered Discussion
#1

@BitVenom I mentioned in an older forum post about some audio tracks displaying a text wall in-game for that specific track. Iā€™d also like to bring attention to some tracks just being completely missing from the game entirely.

Here are some examples (these are from HW1 RM, I donā€™t believe there are missing lines in HW2 RM):

  • Thereā€™s a missing line from Karan when the hyperspace completes in Chapel Perilous: Karan is supposed to say ā€œHyperspace Interruptedā€ before it moves to the cutscene.
  • In the Mission 10 cutscene, the timing is a bit off in the cutscene, which means that the last line is completely absent (ā€œIt is time to hunt the enemy as they have hunted us.ā€), which also removes the playerā€™s intent to destroy the station in the first place.

Iā€™m not sure if there are other instances (there are likely others that I canā€™t remember), but will the upcoming patch reinclude the missing lines?

Iā€™ve found an issue with dialogue missing during cutscenes. I just started playing RM and am a total newbie to the HW franchise in general.

During the cutscene before Great Wastelands (Part 2) there was only music. When I got to the game play I was completely confused because it sounded like I was in the middle of a task and had no idea what was happening. I clicked the ā€œRecallā€ menu and there was the dialogue which should have played during the cutscene. I tried playing again restarting the mission and the same thing happened.

Not same as your problems, OP, but similar. Curious to see if the patch will fix this, too.

@abdomega I would suggest your problem is similar, but not exactly the same. Could you upload a video to YouTube that shows the problem and link it here?

#4

@BitVenom Any update on this possible issue? I doubt itā€™ll get into the next patch, but hopefully itā€™s solved to restore the full experience.

For your particular ā€˜missed audioā€™, chances are pretty much slim in the upcoming update, unless GBX-devs decide they would do ā€˜clean-spreeā€™ changes to even some ā€˜minorā€™ glitches.

Reasons are the ā€˜Remasteredā€™ still in ā€˜slumberā€™ mode due to heavy bugs, and I read somewhere from a thread that a GBX-dev once mentioned ā€˜BIGā€™ changes for bugs, fixes, gameplay, and features [such as the now known highly-useless ā€˜formationsā€™].

Iā€™ve run into a similar issue during mission 6 Diamond Shoals. I got through the asteroids then nothing happened, no audio, no cutscene. It seems that, sometimes, whatever triggers the next phase of a mission gets screwed up.

Though, I was able to just replay the mission and it worked. :rolling_eyes:

#7

To add to this.

When you attack the Bentusi in mission 04 they will not say the line about you being ā€œfoolishā€.

There are missing audio tracks and microphone pops throughout both ā€œremastersā€. Makes me wonder whose job it was.

@drahkas & @iscin_zerachiel,

If we were asked for the overall chance equations:
Though mine [only mine] is still counts as 'chances are pretty slim"

What both of you guys thought about the upcoming update?
ā€˜Chancesā€™ are they will be fixed and restored already?

It happens in a range of HW1 Remastered missions, not unique to M06 and isnā€™t to do with tracks being missing.

Unless Iā€™m wrong, the line starts normally, but they get cut off very quickly by FI. Havenā€™t played HW1 RM in a very long time, so do not know off-hand if that happens.
