Error with Direct Song In-Game Music

It shows the yellow exclamation mark like this.




I did go to that website but it tells me to look at the instructions above. There were no instructions above. Or they werent very specific with it. Heres the link to the page:

Either im retarded and i cant find it. Or its just not there. I think there are people out there with the same issue and im pretty sure theres a thread like this but i cant find it. Thanks.

This error comes up if the DirectSong dll fails to initialize, or if GW can't find the dll at all. Like the site says, this happens when you move the DirectSong utility. There's a utility on their site that you can run to update your registry, if that's the problem.

Is this a new error, or did you just install DirectSong?

install direct song? ill just guess that you mean install the new music, yeah i dowloaded the music from the website and then added the key my account. this was from the CE edition of factions.

Re-run the music pack downloader from DirectSong.
Also can you play the music in windows media player as standalone?

I also have this probelm. I downlaoded 2 Music GW Bonus Music pack from DS, put them in the correct directory, but when I try to play the files windows media player comes up with an error. I also get the error on the settings menu like the above poster.

i can play it in windows media player, it just wont play in-game. which sucks.

bump, no one can redirect me to anything?

Question (towards both of you):

When you ran the installer, did you change the location of where it wanted to download the files?

@Markrids - It sounds like you are having WMP issues and the music DRM isn't correct.

Try this:

Install the most current version of Windows Media Player for your version of windows:
http://www.microsoft.com/windows/win...a/default.mspx

Note: The BETA of Windows Media Player 11 (Version 11.0.5358.4827) for Windows XP appears to work fine with DirectSong music and GW integration.

After you have the most current Windows Media Player installed, download and install the following patch from Microsoft.

Windows Media Player 9 and Windows 98/98SE/Me
http://download.microsoft.com/downlo...2-x86-intl.exe

Windows Media Player 9 and Windows 2000
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...F-E9DFFAC6731E

Windows Media Player 10 and Windows XP
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...8-1FD6E7827CD8

Windows Media Player 11 and Windows XP
None Required at this time

@Rex - It sounds like you have all the DRM issues squared away (you can play it) but it may be that it can't find the files. Delete all the direct song files then re-run all the music packs. Change where it installs the files too (such as the GW folder). This will NOT take one of your permanet licenses.
