Lagging in Sky/Arrapago Reef? I have the solution!

[Swishiee]

Alright. So some of you may know that because of how weird my computer is, it lags in Arrapago Reef and Sky. I've tried everything. I've gotten a new sound card updated drivers, tried configuring sound through DirectX, and nothing has worked. But while doing a cutscene for one of the new missions, I figured out what the problem is.

While I thought it might have been the ambient sounds for whatever reason, it turns out I was way off. During the cutscene, it started playing music for Arrapago Reef. It hit me right then and there. It's the music for both areas that's making me lag. I know it's a rare case, but I have heard of it happening to others (SE knew what I needed to do right away to stop me from lagging (lolnosound)).

So I'm going to find the right sound files and try to change them to something else, or just remove them and see if it'll still work. I'll post what files are causing me trouble when I find them.

you can not just remove them but you can just put in blank files in there space

When one of two things happens. 1) I get money and finish my computer. 2) I move out of my apartment and back here.

I can fix my Sky problem pretty easily. But I'm having a really hard time with Arrapago. The .bgw files fot ToAU are a different BGW format, so I can't convert them with that Japanese program, or even listen to them in POL Utils. Anyone know of a song list for the files, or a program that will convert them?

how about just replace it with another areas music. Movalpolos theme in Arrapago go!

Hehe I'd do that (am going to), but I can't even listen to the music to hear which one is which. Thanks a ton Kyr for the list!

I had the exact same problem in sky (haven't been to the Reef since moving to PC from PS2). Mind if i ask what sound card you have?
