My sounds have been working fine until the latest update for freak fortress.
It keeps spamming "failed to create decoder for MP3 [.....mp3] on the client console.

This causes client to eventually crash with memory limitations.

Any idea what is going on? The sounds are downloading fine to client and plays fine too.
The sounds are installed in tf/sound.

Please help!

Solution: Tell your players to delete sound.cache from sound and download/sound folders.

It's not a matter of which boss, it seems to be plugin specific. I don't get this issue on any other plugins/servers using mp3 sounds.

Perhaps the files are not getting precached?
Pardon me if I'm incorrect, but this didn't happen before.

Is there any server solution to do this for clients automatically ?
