Music looped after respawning

Fix status

0.12.1 fixes repeated game-music loops primarily triggered by respawning after the Umbral Sands update.

What to do now

Update and restart the client, then reproduce with default audio settings before changing files.

Close Dragonwilds and update the Steam client.
If the world is dedicated, stop, back up and update the server too.
Confirm the complete client and server version numbers match.
Reload the affected area or interface and retest the exact trigger once.

If the symptom still appears

Do not assume the same cause survived the patch. Record the current version, world type, host/client role, location and exact action that reproduces “music looped after respawning”. A new report with those details is more useful than applying an old workaround or deleting a save.
