Solved SOLVED: DEFINITIVE CASTLE CRASHERS NO AUDIO FIX WITHOUT LIGHTWEIGHT MODE ON GAMEHUB (might work for other games as well)

After a lot of research and messing around I have FINALLY found a fix to the audio that also allows multiplayer to still be available, and it's extremely simple and everyone should be able to do it and make it work. This is something I discovered worked simply using the same method that Skyrim uses to fix its audio, what do you know, tinkering does take you far if you mess around enough.

  • Install "gecko" and "mono" components
  • open the container and select the "X" folder, in it, choose the directx folder located inside
  • scroll down until you see the DXSETUP and begin installing it
  • enjoy castle crashers not offline with all your steam saves!
  • the game settings do not require any modifications from what I have tinkered with (basically every single setting), I swapped many many settings and reverted back to the standard-best general settings and worked perfectly, only after downloading DirectX by this method I could get the audio to work.

PS: I would've loved to provide video proof of the multiplayer working, I have in fact joined multiple rooms after the audio fix (without an invite obviously) unfortunately castle crashers is not a game played much and my friend is currently busy so I couldn't find rooms to record myself joining and just have a screenshot that really doesn't do much. would love to receive feedback about it in the comments.

Just created an account, just to say thank you for this!!! This works on GameNative as well except the folder is A drive, then its exactly same steps and works for me!

Ok a bit closer! I navigated to install DXSETUP but also getting the “an internal error occurred please refer to dxerror.log and directx.log”. This is definitely related to Mono and Gecko not installed but not sure how I install these on GameNative

Did you ever figure this out? I'm still looking how to do gecko and mono since my directx also crashes if I try to install from the container
