Please explain your issue is in as much detail as possible.
Save file attached. Video demonstrating the issue at 0:07 attached https://photos.app.goo.gl/uBV9N2sYh63x4v2f8 . The sound Stellaris\sound\firstcontact\ui\assets\fc_ui_reveal_yourself_button_01.wav triggers repeatedly with no obvious cause.

A pre-FTL society was previously wiped out by an event plague in their Bronze Age while being observed by my empire. If the sound is associated with revealing yourself to a pre-FTL, then that may have been the trigger, even though my empire was never revealed to the pre-FTL society prior to them being wiped out.

Steps to reproduce the issue.
Unknown at this time, since this is an iron man save, I can't go back to replicate the issue.

(nevermind, colonizing the planet didn't fix it)

I see the same problem where the sound just plays for no apparent reason at all at random times. Perhaps there's some sort of problem where when any empire (including AI empires) runs action_reveal_presence, the sound plays for all players (inappropriately), but that's just a guess as I'm not familiar enough with the datafile grammar to say for certain.

Thanks for tracking down which sound file that was, though; I was wondering what was going on with this playing all the time out of the blue (and what it could possibly be about)...

I'm also encountering this. Very annoying.

Yes I noticed this too, that is extremely annoying. I thought it had to do with enabled Cloaking modules on my science ships, but that is not the case. I hotfixed it by renaming the .wav file.

 

[Phoenix C64]

i actually stopped playing. it is extremely annoying, pops up every few seconds!

gonna try delete/rename that WAV and see if at least i can play the game

 

[Bobibobibu]

Hello!

Thank you for the report!

We are aware of the issue, it has already been added to our bug database.

Same issue, moving the sound file to another directory stops the sound from playing (at all), guess it's a work around of sorts until the issue has been resolved.

I have a very silimar issue. I had no problem whatsoever on Gemini 3.8.4 (282d). Then I bought the three DLCs I was missing from Steam - Toxoids, First Contact and Galactic Paragons. That's when I started having the voice line from the First Contact Launch Trailer Video ("The visitors came seeking not friends or allies but subjects") playing in a constant loop in the background. This start right at the initial loading screen (so right after exiting the launcher), continues throughout the main menu and the savegame loading screen and persists throughout the game session.
I tried disabling and unsubscribing from all mods ( I only had "New Civilisations" installed...), disabling all expansions (yes, this occurs with the "naked" base game as well), sadly to no avail. Same goes for restarting the PC and uninstalling / reinstalling the game.

EDIT: Nvmnd, I figured it out. Turns out Steam's new overlay was opening the DLC Store Page in the background every time I started the Game AND autoplaying the launch trailer for First Contact AND looping.

If you ever managed to fix it, how?

Did you try the last sentence of the post you quoted, and if so what happened?

This isn't related to the original post though.
