Fixed (0.25) Music Bug

[Sola]

After i stayed some time with the game minimized, but with music on while in one pokecenter, the music just stopped. The game still runs normally, but without music. To make it back i had to go out or turn off and turn on the music.

Everytime i alt+tab now, the music stops.

This is not a bug but rather a methode of the XNA framework to reduce RAM/CPU usage by disposing stuff while the window is minimized. This contains to not udpate the intern mediaplayer class.
To enable the music again, you would have to make the game to start the music at some point again because I know about this and every time the music gets started it sets looping to true again.
I cannot do anything about this.

Ok thought

Everytime i alt+tab now, the music stops.

I don't really know how you guys do these alt + tab things so that programs crash I tried it like 100 times in a row and music + the game itself worked perfectly...

The crash happened again once. I really don`t know why, i was just stopped in some random spot. The music one happened only after the game stop it because of the reason you gave up there.

nilllzz it happend again, the music one. I think it is happening when I atl+tab the game while it is in the middle on the loop, when the music stops before it restart to play

 

[nilllzz]

since it crashes, can you give me the crash log it generates?

 

[Sola]

it was in the last update and after that my log file was cleared. If it happens again I post it. But it was the same as other times, the same message, but it didn`t generated that big file that crashes do now.

I pressed Alt+tab a good couples of times, this is the second time that my game crash by the same bug

 

[nilllzz]

That's always Win7 (I am running 8) maybe it has something to do with that.
I just checked everything in the crashing method and there is nothing wrong.
The bug is about an object that is not initialized. SO I just made a few If statements for each object in this method that could cause a object reference not set to an instance bug.
