    Hello!

    Can anything be done about the incredibly loud and at its core very annoying persistent sound effect ticking away whenever the ultra powerful spell Tempus Fugit is activted? It's arguably the most useful spell in the game for a Fighter/Mage, but I find myself almost never using it because of the pesky noise it generates. I'd love to see it gone (or at least turned down by a lot!).

    Thanks!

    My computer comes with a volume control.
    As a matter of fact, so does Arcanum.

    Yeah, but volume control affects ALL of the game sounds.

    krille probably finds only Tempus Fugit sound effect annoying (similar to the loud flapping wings of the familiar) and likes all other Arcanum sounds, right? :D

    Actually, he has a good point. Tempus Fugit is a massive pain in the ears (had ya going there). If someone can work out how to turn it down without turning EVERYTHING down, I'd be most appreciative.

    OK, to all the people who find sounds like this annoying, here's a small noise reducing patch. It replaces the following sounds with blank files.
    -Elemental Stat Boosts (ST,CN, DX, BE)
    -Tempus Fujit
    -Krag/Familiar fidget

    Just put the file into your Arcanum folder. Since it uses blank .wav files instead of modifying sound lists, it should be compatible with any version of the game.

    I hate to disappoint you, but just recently we had a debate about that file and it seems no one has it anymore. It is most propably lost forever.
