Undael Posted June 11, 2019 Share Posted June 11, 2019 How to change ark theme ? (stucked in extinction theme) Hello, I come here after a hour of research, who gave nothing. Since i have extinction, when i'm playing on Ragnarok, The Island or The Center, i can't have the old theme (i want to hear because i'm nostalgic ?). I tried to switch in other map (i'm playing on ragnarok map for the moment), but nothing has changed). I need help, if someone know how to fix it, please! It is a bug, or it's normal ? I love the old theme... Thanks you in advance, Undael PS : When i'm loading ragnarok i have the old theme (loading music, but not the theme). Trying with scorched earth if it can solve. When i load scorched earth and return to the menu i have aberration screen but scorched earth music... weird Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm currently at work, but when I get home I can dig into the INI's as I think i've seen the last map played in there. You could just change it before launch to an older map name. Hello, thanks for your answer I don't usually look at the .ini files. You said "you could just change it before launch to an older map name", but where you can change that ?

It used to do that but since extinctions release it refuses to show or play any theme except extinctions. I hvnt played extinction in months and its still showing extinctions background and playing extinctions theme music. Ive only been playing island and center which should be the original.

Hello Onimusha759, I see we have the same problem... I didn't played extinction for a while (just with a friend in private server but at least 4 months), just Ragnarok now and can't stop this theme. It's frustrating Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TravisMichael Posted June 12, 2019 Share Posted June 12, 2019 I play on PS4 and when I play the non-story maps (The Center and Ragnarok) it plays the Aberration theme. When I play one one of the story maps ( Island, Scorched, Aberration, Extinction) it switches to the Extinction theme. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dv8ndie Posted June 12, 2019 Share Posted June 12, 2019 It would be nice if the game let you choose which theme you could see at startup. I played a game once, I think it was Civ4, that let you choose the DLC theme music as you started the game from a choice of any of the installed DLC themes. That would be a nice feature addition for the settings menu. I would choose Aberration, best theme song IMO. Random would be nice as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juparan Posted September 15, 2019 Share Posted September 15, 2019 Hope one day they allow us to change that ! i'm also missing the classic one, and i'm stuck with extinction theme too, no matter what. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HippyHippo4 Posted September 16, 2019 Share Posted September 16, 2019 Yes the same thing happens to me, i primarily play on Scorched Earth (but play on every other map) but it has the Aberration theme. Honestly it doesn't really bother me though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I just tested and something seems broken. If the LastPlayedMap is set to ScorchedEarth_P or Aberration_P, then the main menu will be Aberration and every other maps (Island, Rag, etc, etc.) default to Extinction menu.

Mine always changed depending on what they sold last. First it was normal default, then it was SE when SE was put out, then Abb when Abb was put out and then Ext and it hasnt changed since. Actually I do remember a time when it would change between SE and default but it hasn't changed at all since I think the release of Abb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It used to still work fine for all maps at the time I posted the post I linked above so it was broken in the past 5 months (probably with the addition of Valguero if I had to guess).

WhoStoleMyName Posted March 29, 2020 Share Posted March 29, 2020 Worked as intended, to promote Extinction they set it as default theme. Default theme has returned with the release of Genesis: Part 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
