Issues unresolved

Menu music randomly plays incorrectly after transitioning from title screen

This occurs if you press start on the title screen at a certain time when the title screen music plays, which makes the game load the menu track, but transitions incorrectly thus corrupting the playback. There is currently no known explanation as to why this occurs. The only workaround is to wait around 2 seconds before pressing start or to quickly cycle through or reload the menu.
