Ambient music in Survival mode on the PS4 missing since Redux

[topherleighto]

I haven't heard ambient music in Survival mode for a long time, I think since the Redux update hit. Weirdly, the music does pop up during auroras, but that's the only time. I'd love to hear it again. Please help Hinterland.

Have you tried different experience modes or challenges?  I'm on PC, but I've noticed that on my Custom game blizzards no longer have that howling wind sound.  It's fine in the stock experience modes, and story mode, but for some reason this Custom game no longer plays blizzard sounds.

Yep, I've played games on Voyageur, Stalker, and Interloper and I've done most of the challenges and still no music. I still hear all the sound effects (like howling blizzards), just no music.

@topherleighto:

This has been mentioned by another player as well.  I don't recall specifically which console player was on, but they also have a problem with the soundtrack not playing in game... I'll echo what I mentioned in our discussion about hotfix 1.56:

I know it's not exactly the same, but I can at least offer a possible work around until it is fixed.

If you already have the sound track, you could always queue it up in what ever media player you have, set it to random, and play the game with it minimized in the background.  I know you mentioned you play on console... but this way you can still have the music playing ambiently while you play.

Again, I know it's not ideal... but at least you'd have the music back (sort of) in the mean time.

It was myself actually that had reported the same problem. It was also on Ps4 for me, aswell.  :P
