Help/Support Music not playing in Real Racing 3

DrifterDan · June 1, 2017

Hello guys! So, I was a bit bored with the soundtrack of Real Racing 3 so I decided to change the existing mp3 files and replaced them with another song and renamed the file with the name of the original one so it would play in game. I switched the garage music titled "Transpacific" with DJ Gontran's "Chemistry" and it worked. The new song played in game when I went to my garage. But then when I tried the second time, this time switching the main menu music with another song, it didn't play the new song. In fact, EVERY piece of music in the game didn't play at all. Not during loading, not during racing, and not in the garage either. What did I do wrong?

Any chance the game also requires the music to be a certain length? Certain name sure i get that, length could be a factor maybe or data size aswell.

If it had required a certain length, then the music I replaced must fit the bill. I replaced it with Need For Speed Shift's Menu Ambience which goes on for ten minutes. Keep in mind that ALL music in-game hasn't played since I replaced the second MP3 file.
