On the campaign map, most of the music that used to be present and played regularly is never used for some reason. Instead of expected female vocals, there's only this sort of ambient war drum. The same music is still present and used for the same factions in Warhammer 2 Mortal Empires map.

For the purpose of investigation, I acquired another, older copy of a game from "alternative" sources and the music is still there and plays the moment I load a new campaign.

Apparently, it broke sometime during 2021 or 2022, not exactly sure.


This is how it behaves (timestamp 18:27):



And this is how it should behave (timestamp 21:50):



The issue has been previously discussed/reported by other used:

I reverted to 2018 game version of the game via Steam Command Console and can confirm that the music is back. So something broke in it in the 2021 update.

Digging through the data files, it seems that the only music playing is the one that is supposed to play only for Beastmen.

If it helps in any way, in my unpacked files (from the pre-2021 game version) the event associated with the music is called as follows:
Global_Music_Play (Game_Mode=campaign) (Campaign_Music_State=Normal) [Music_C_Tracks=Beastmen_Full] {d}

Wem file 322660123.wem


Don't get me wrong, it's a good music. But hearing it as the only one for all races gets old quickly.
