I’ve noticed for the last few months, the Asobo logo doesn’t show as expected, i.e., it doesn’t show at all but you hear the sound associated with it. It partially shows and freezes at various points.
Occasionally it displays as expected but more offen than not it doesn’t.
I have a PC and just wondering if anyone else has this issue. PC is high end and not running any background tasks prior to running the sim.
What would cause this? Is it anything to be concerned about? The Sim works as expected but it has been bugging me for a while now so I decided to ask.
When the Asobo screen comes up either one of three things happen (It happens randomly and I have no other programmes running), only the black box to login appears then disappears straight away and the game loads as normal. The black box appears then I get the login screen and have to hit enter keys to log me in. My login details and account details already entered, so it appears it is not doing it automatically. I get the Asobo screen and the game loads straight away without even seeing any login splash screen. I have no other accounts to conflict with this microsoft account. I am running an i7 on win10 home with no special hardware or software.
As this is happening at the same time as your query I am wondering if there is a problem in the login events which is causing this stuttering to happen. This also only started happening a few months ago. Before that it would log in automatically without any problems. I am permanently logged in to the game.
For me, the splash screens come up normally, but the sound disappeared many SUs ago. I realize it has absolutely nothing to do with the sim itself, but my question is was it removed intentionally, or is it a bug that Asobo can’t be bothered with?
The second logo to do with Blackshark AI is always displayed correctly for me. My concern was with the first logo for Asobo. Anyway, it’s not a biggy. I was ruling out corruption issues etc, if I was the only one experiencing it.
Disclaimer - you’re venturing into deeply hidden files that can turn your sim into a brick. DO NOT attempt alter any files unless you are absolutely certain of what you’re doing.
Thanks, however I believe the video is fine as it plays correctly on occasion. It’s sounds more like other processes during the startup process are getting in the way of allowing it to display as it should.
For me, again like others have said, it occurs randomly - the Asobo logo stutters during loading.
Less frequently, the BlackShark logo stutters. If the blackshark logo stutters, I usually have stuttering issues with the game itself and it indicates (to me) that there’s some persistent background process - or whatever - messing with things. I then totally reboot the system and the problem goes away and the sim behaves normally.
For me on PC, I’ve never had any issues with the logo sounds which have always been normal. Where I do have an issue with the sound is that the music volume is toggled during the loading screen after those logos. If I have music enabled, it briefly stops and then resumes during loading, which I initially thought was just it glitching out. But when I got sick of always hearing the same music and turned the volume slider for it to the minimum, I discovered that it’s actually inverting the volume briefly because instead, I get silence as I should but very briefly interrupted by ~ 1/2 a second of music midway through loading.
