problems with 1.5 launcher; games fail to start and no music

I got the 1.5 launcher installed over the 1.45. However, when I start the game I get NO MUSIC on the main menu screen and if I try a "play now" game it crashes. I'm assuming the crash has something to do with the sound files....any help would be appreciated.

Also, I recopied my launcher.exe and launcher.ini from a backup, Game runs fine but I don't have any music.

NM I got it reset by copying the backup launcher.dll.

Still don't know why the 1.5 launcher does not work however.

Launcher 1.5 has it's own MP3 ditty system, including main menu music. It will be silent if you don't add your own music.

That's right. It now loads .mp3 files from that location and automatically adds reverb in-game. No need to apologize. :) There's a lot to take in, especially since I haven't posted documentation yet.

I have a similar problem that menu music won't work. Launcher 1.5 ditty engine is enabled (in GUI) and mp3-file is in /launcher/media/sound/ditties/ALL/Menu folder. What could be wrong?

Do you mean main menu? That song should be in the "Interface" folder.

The "Menu" folder is used in game when you pause the game in the middle of play.
