IDK what happened, but most of the BGM in the game doesn't play. Some of it does, but NPC music don't, nor do the field BGM...

    Recently for some reason, most BGM in the game just disappears. I don't hear basically any NPC music, any field music, the only music I hear are the login/character themes, the commerce theme and the commerce bandits theme, and RARELY other ones here and there.

    I think it has something to do with instruments, because sometimes it just fades out like it does when an instrument is playing.

    Anyone know how to fix this? I really like the BGM D:

    yes instruments will make a bgm quiet but there some music issues back when they took out the direct launcher. this thread has instructions on how you can fix it http://forums.mabinogi.nexon.net/discussion/3036/music-and-sound-issues-fix-incoming

    also if you do musical math dungeon that will stop your bgm music everywhere else until you restart mabi.

    From what we could gather the gameguard is deleting most of the BGM files on launch, if you want to regain them use the launcher (or steam) and repair the game / verify integrity.
    Once that's done select the BGM folder and change it to read-only. I suggest making a copy of it too before you relaunch the game. It should stay intact after that.

    I'm a little sad because I lost old BGMs like candysheep that aren't re-added by patching.

    also if you do musical math dungeon that will stop your bgm music everywhere else until you restart mabi.

    Regarding Musical Math, you can also fix that bgm issue by entering Musical Math again and exiting the dungeon. A bit easier than restarting mabi.
