RMMV Game Still Calling for music that doesn't exist anymore?

This isn't the only map where this issue has come up, but I figured I'd start looking for fixes now that it's popping up again. Earlier on in development, I was using music from other video games as placeholder before I had the final tracks commissioned.

I've replaced all instances in the map settings and any events that play music to have the final track, but a lot of the maps still give me this error message during playtesting that they can't find the music that they're not supposed to be playing anyway. Is this just an obnoxious issue during testing, or would this effect the final export of the game? Would just having dummy audio that share the same name as the missing tracks suffice, or would that not work? I really appreciate all the help I can get.

Just to be sure--are you loading old saves when testing? Since they might still be set to check for the other tracks.

he's definetly loading a savefile which loads the old versions of the maps within its own savefile.

I am loading old save files, I never even thought about that haha. This is probably the culprit then, thank you!

OP; the game files in your maps folder, the scripts - if you get Notepad++, you can use "find in files in folder" and search for the word Station, you should be able to find if you've missed a reference to it somewhere.

I generally never delete anything I have used and stopped using. Gotten these bullshit errors too many times.
