[2023] Surviving Mars - The main menu's music is still playing after starting the new game

When I started a new colony on my iMac just now, the music changed to Revelation Radio automatically even before the rocket landed.

I can't explain why you alone (apparently) are experiencing this.


All I can think of to suggest is a full clean reinstall of the game:

- move any valued save games elsewhere; they are under
~/Library/Application Support/Surviving Mars/{large number}/
- "uninstall" in Steam-Surviving Mars
- manually delete both the ~/Library/Application Support/Steam/SteamApps/common/Surviving Mars AND ~/Library/Application Support/Surviving Mars/ folders
- re-install game in Steam, run a Steam Verify when done.
- start the game with no mods active and test

In particular you need to make sure there are no files or folders left under either the Steam SM or Application Support SM locations, before installing again.

Good luck!  

Well, if it's not unique to you but also not ubiquitous, there must be some other factor in play. Hard to guess what it might be!

Was that example above also on MacOS, BTW?  

Can you test your copy of the game on any other computer you might have access to, whether MacOS or Windows?
