Used to run the Steam version nicely.
With previous versions of Wesp5's UP, both Basic & PLUS.

Purchased round 2010-11 for what used to be budget wise for me.
She's got her issues, but everything's up to date as best I can recall.

With the age and limits of the rig the I was quite pleased to find GoG-Wesp5 UP
version ran remarkably better than it did on Steam! Basic or PLUS in many resolutions
and such.

With one excruciatingly tragic snag: FEEDING!
In 9/10 situations in Santa Monica the audio almost instantly stutters and the
cinematic cinematic grinds to a halt & freezes the game.

Everything else is ok with the PC. I can still ALT-Tab out to the desktop.

My only recourse is to hit the ESC key a few times and wait. The game keeps running.
immersion wrecking to the point of exasperation.

Wondering if it's an IRQ issue since it's audio & video, drivers or a combo?

My other question is concerning the latest version of Companion Mod with this
GoG version, either Basic or preferably PLUS.

Lastly is there a way to extract, copy-paste or download from the source the different music,
ambient hub audio from the UP .exe file? Basically to mix & match from Basic, PLUS
or even other mods?

Example: I really like the recovered menu music but I prefer the the Asylum bands or hate the ones
from Asp or Glaze?

Think that'll do for now.

Try disabling environmental audio or play around a bit with the sound variables in the config file. The Companion Mod is not compatible to the Game Mod Loader setup of the UP, but if you install the UP first and then the mod over the main folder files it should work. Just check the sounds/music folders in both the main and UP directory. But don't use the MS mediaplayer to listen to the files, the game will crash afterwards.

If no one's said it enough recently... Thank you! Thank you on behalf of all the fans who've followed your work on VtMB across the years and the many forums. As far as I can recall you have always been there... PlanetVampire, Steam, etc.

Had a casual conversation with a friend about immersion, music, and other subtleties in games that we liked and well you can guess the rest...

Hope all is well with you and yours and you continue with the Good Work.
