item 3070 ** EDIT **

Hello Summoners! ^_^v

The Bilgewater Event has come to an end, and thusly the music has sailed off into the sunset. The Theme Music option will still say Bilgewater until the next patch, but it will play Classic SR Music.

If you want to listen to Updated SRU music, please remember to switch your Theme Music from Bilgewater to Updated. :)

If you have any issues, please comment!

** /EDIT **item 3070

Ahoy, Summoners!

We have temporarily added the ability to toggle between Updated Summoner's Rift music and Bilgewater music on SRU.

This option has temporarily replaced the ability to enable "Classic" music.

Summoner's Rift Games will currently default to using "Updated" music, however you can switch it to Bilgewater music by navigating to the Sound section in the Options menu, and selecting the Theme Music as "Bilgewater".

  • You may have some difficulty enabling the Bilgewater Theme to due a current bug with the HUD. To enable it easily, you will need to open the drop down, hover over it with your cursor, and use the Mouse Wheel (middle button/scroll button) to scroll down and select the Bilgewater option.

There are some bugs you may notice with the music currently. Notably:

  • When switching from Bilgewater Music to Updated Music, the Updated Music may play over itself twice. This bug actually existed with the Classic music option too, but we did not uncover it until recently due to the low frequency of players switching between music. We are investigating a fix for that to be deployed in 5.15 :) This won't occur with the Bilgewater track, only with the Updated track.
  • You may notice the Victory/Defeat music is still Bilgewater music, even though you have set your option to Updated music. This should only occur at the End of Game Victory/Defeat banner.

If you have any questions or feedback, feel free to comment!

EDIT: Just as a note, you will only experience the toggle in Matchmade games on Summoner's Rift. The Bilgewater music is not activated for Custom SR games, or games on any other Maps (besides Butcher's Bridge).

How about an option to change between the new announcer (Gangplank) and the old announcer? I'd prefer not being in the mood, even if it is the new update, and prefer the usual style, along with the fact that I do not play ARAM/Normals much, and it doesn't fit in with the fact that ranked is the normal UI. Would prefer if there was that option too. Along with UI, but that is probably not possible.

This better be permanent Stephiroth. I've got Gangplank on speed dial, or speed carrier pigeon or whatever they use in Bilgewater.

Lol why is this in the "Report a Bug" section?

Nice addition though (I myself won't bother. I like the music).

Any reason to remove the pirate music and announcer after the event?

I don't see why, now that we can pick the music.

MissFortune When you switch to bilgewater it plays the classic theme... :P also is the bilgewater theme going to be available after the event? I really dig it and would love to keep listening to it even when everything wraps up ;_;

YES! I wish we could keep this permanently...

Does that extend to the announcer? I kinda want my Blakinola announcer to work again.. :(

Cool. I hope the same can be done with the HUD.

Might want to unpin this now, for obvious reasons.

Vistha Kai7/28/2015, 7:14:28 PM1 votes

So, how about not replacing Classic and instead giving it its own temporary option?

Spaghetti code OP?

Would really like to have the classic music back as well :(

How much memory does preloading 2 songs take?

Hi Stephiroth, I really like the Bilgewater music myself so I tried to switch it back on in my options as the game defaulted to the regular theme when I tried to play today. When I went in my sound options and followed your instructions, the only thing I was able to select was a theme called "Updated" with no option to select Bilgewater. This is a bit disappointing since I'd like to experience the event for as long as I can. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks :)

oh good! I thought it was a bug. I was getting a little sad that I couldn't play Waterloo Miss Fortune and feel like a real pirate doing so. :P

Bug with Mac Clients. There is only updated Summoner's Rift Music no Bilgewater music (and I really like the music too T_T)

Càmmy8/10/2015, 3:48:03 AM1 votes

I pray you leave all 3 option available later on as the bilgewater music gets me in the mood to play hard core, as the classic, and new Sr music doesn't quite set the tone. Also I would like the option for GankPlanks Announcement voice as a option as well.

Hello, I have a question

Is it possible to leave the Bilgewater music as a third toggle option? I've been wondering for days why I couldn't put it back on even if I had the option to, until I stumbled upon this thread

I think it's a shame because the music was very awesome (even more when playing GP)

Is there really no way to have the 3 options? Classic SR is basically and outdated version of Updated song, and Bilgewater was very great to motivate and play

Now I know I can put it on Youtube as background music, but it won't change to the flow of the game :(
