I've heard reports from a few players that Mysterious Space would make TERRIBLE NOISES whenever it played any sound effect (but not music). Mysterious Space uses MonoGame to do graphics, controller input, and sound effects, but FMOD to play music... so this suggested to me that MonoGame was the problem here. in fact, I've had problems with MonoGame and audio before, which is why I'm using FMOD to play music in the first place!
the solution, then, seemed obvious: go all-in with FMOD, and never ask MonoGame to ever play a sound again. EVER.
and that's just what I've done with 0.8.6.3, another little bugfix release that will NOT break your save games!
(I'm also probably going to find something else to handle controller input at some point, as I'd like to support a wider range of controllers... but that's an update for another time.)
other noteable changes/fixes this release:
- all armors were resisting 50% collision damage, even if they claimed to resist more; this has been fixed
- scrap dropped by the Scrapping upgrade is no longer being left behind after being collected
- fixed a bug with the sandstorm sound effect, which would continue playing FOREVER if you ever entered folded space while it was playing >_> (can't blame this on MonoGame, sadly; this was entirely my fault)
- I snuck in a new ship upgrade, which must be unlocked, so... you'll have to find that on your own :P
- I tweaked the Heavy Head of Hydrus, which in my experience has always been a weak ship. rather than each Hull upgrade granting you 5 extra Hull, you now just get +5 Hull for each Upgrade chip collected, the moment you collect it. a minor buff, but a step in the right direction, I hope.

(I realize I've been going a little crazy with the updates the last few days... I can't explain it. I just... I keep wanting to work on Mysterious Space recently! I hope you don't mind :P)
thanks, as always, for playing!
good luck, pilot!
