Star Citizen salvaging audio won't stop looping
Tracked since 23 Aug 2026 · Last researched 23 Aug 2026
Problem
Salvaging-part audio won't stop looping, even after you power down the ship.
This is the continuous salvaging-audio loop, not general audio stutter, missing audio, or another salvage failure.
Applies to Alpha 4.9.x LIVE · Current
Best current action
Restart the game to clear the salvaging audio loop
Restart Star Citizen when salvaging-part audio keeps looping after you power down the ship. When you return, check whether the loop has stopped.
This is the only current action listed for this exact audio loop.
What to do
- Exit Star Citizen fully.
- Start Star Citizen again.
- Return to the session and check whether the salvaging audio loop has stopped.
Restarting ends the current session and may lose unsaved local session progress. How reliably it clears the loop is not independently established.
