Sound Bugs - Still a problem?

Post by splatters »

So, I'd like to know how many of you still get the sound bugs and if so, does it bother you? IIRC it was said to have been fixed at some version.

As for me, they are almost a constant annoyance and they appear usually multiple times in a round, looping cannons, turrets, chopper and land vehicle engine sounds etc. In the most previous version I've noticed a new kind of sound bug too, coaxial gun of an armoured vehicle firing infinately. Most people I play with report hearing the sound bug too and one can hear the question "is that a sound bug or the real thing" countless times in a round. I don't remember a map where I don't get any sound bugs.

I quess I've learned to live with it, since it's something that I have little or no control over. Although sometimes it can really disturb the gameplay and break the immersion if the sound bug is very loud or goes on through the whole round.. :|

What are your takes on this? Is this something that the DEVs are currently working on?

Yeah I still get sound bugs.
I thought I heard a constant sound bug during skirmish matches, but I think it is a constant mortar firing sound for gameplay effect.
Best line yet...

There are no constant mortar firing sounds that I've heard of in PR. :) nor any other ambient combat sounds.

Sometimes, but mostly there's no soundbugs for me. Ghost hueys flying over Muttrah (especially the suburbs) is the most popular soundbug in my top.

I seem to get them a lot, mostly helo's. I've also figured out a way to get rid of the sound, for me anyways. Go towards the sound, to the center, and for me it seems to disappear

I don't know, maybe the sound bug used to disappear in previous versions when you went to the center of it but it doesn't appear to do that to me in this version, as you can see/hear:

*currently uploading*

The AAV sound in SE if you can distinguish was a sound bug too, apparently.

You can imagine how much that sound bug hinders your ability to hear incoming light enemy vehicles and other important cues. But, as I said before I've learned to live with it and relocated like any reasonable sapper would do :mrgreen:

sadly it is still happening -_- not as much and it seems like its Vehicle orented . . . like on kokan you hear te Bradly sound bug ALOT . . . the Kiowas not as much but the Black hawk is once in a while . . . there should be some sort of All sound Mute and Reaply feature where the entire game gets muted for .01 seconds and all the sounds get turned back on to reset any sound bugs even if the sound bug isnt happening
