info

No sound in game is caused by one or more of these problems:

  • You have a folder path that includes special characters (such as unicode or accent characters)
  • Assets failed to download
  • Pack interference

If your user account has any special characters (such as C:\Users\Tellinž):

Option #1:

  1. Create a new user account without any special characters
  2. Reinstall CheatBreaker

Option #2:

  1. Create a new folder C:\CheatBreaker
  2. Create two folders in this directory: Game, Downloads
  3. Change the Game Directory to C:\CheatBreaker\Game
  4. Change the Downloads Directory to C:\CheatBreaker\Downloads

If you are getting any messages about missing assets:

  1. Open the CheatBreaker launcher
  2. Select Settings
  3. Select Reset
  4. Select Reset Assets Cache and Reset Game Downloads
  5. Relaunch the game

If this issue is found to happen on and off by switching packs, then you have a corrupt pack that needs to be corrected
