No Ambient Sound??

[jabezscratch 159]

I am not hearing any ambient sound (wind, traffic, people, etc.).  The sound is working on my computer and, in the game, the music works and I hear clicking sounds on menus.  Is there ambient sound in the game??  (Yes, I checked the volume levels in game).

From what I read in the IGN review, there are ambient sounds. Supposedly, you just need a rather large city (don't know quite how large, and I'd like some conformation on this).

I never noticed that until you pointed it out, but my city has the same problem. It should have ambient noises and music, but it doesn't...

I'm not going to complain too much about the lack of ambient sound b/c I usually have music or Internet radio running in the background while playing SC4 and CXL but why no ambient sound? Seems like such a basic requirement for a city builder.

There were ambient sound and music in the beta of CXL.

Don't know why they didn't put it in the game.

Hi Guys,

No ambient sound in game at the moment but hopefully they will add at a later date. I thought I had a technical issue with sound early on so reported it to the support desk. This is the response I got

Cheers

Dear Nick,

first of all thanks for purchasing Cities XL.

The issue you are encountering is not a technical one, the environement sounds have not yet been implemented in game.

Feel free to come back to us for any other issue, doubt or simple remark you

want to point out.

So, basically, we all have payed full price for a half finished product... This is a disturbing new trend that most game publishers appear to be using these days.

Would you go see a movie at the theatres that was missing most of its plot or its sound effects at release, and then having to wait 3 months to see it again, this time in its complete form?

Sounds like an investment, but without guaranties.... I'll wait a few months to buy the game.

@plasticsim - when exacly were you in the cinema last time? sorry, just kidding,, but if you compare original SimCity 4 to Rush Hour, i hope that is what will happen to Cities XL too in near future..

There's still no ambient sound in the game. That's a bit of a bummer, makes the 500,000 inhabitant city somewhat dead

Necromancy is bad, m'kay?

This issue has been resolved by putting the sounds from Ambient to Sounds.

And how do you do that?

[strange-emily 0]

Just tried it out, it is not true. still no ambient sound only music
