Hi guys, i want to say that i had multiple sound bugs since last release, and not so much in the .86 (1.4 patch) but incremented from 0.8

I don't know if it is just me, but it happens to me in all servers i play.... generally with choppers, other times with APCs

It's really annoying because you can't hear well the enemy movements.

check your view distance in your GFX settings is set to 100%.

Thanks for the tip OhRhinoPro. Anything else that can be done?

Yeah, I always seem to get a heli sound bug while on muttrah.

It´s much better then last versions but sound bug is still there and my view distance is 100%.

Dont remember the last time i havnt heard the sound bug on Karbala.

Anybody has an idea what causes this bug? Do people without Creative Labs soundcard get it too?

Its because chopper sound are further than view distance. But I have not noticed a difference between the versions.

I could be wrong but I think that in the newest versions the chopper amplitude has been reduced, which means less sound bugs occur. (I think this because I used to be able to hear the choppers very easily when they were stationairy on the carrier wherever i was on the map)

Last version, Barracude used to be god-awful for me, but I havn't noticed it much any more. I mostly get cobra firing sounds now on Muttrah. It's different for everyone I guess.

With regards to the OP - Sound bugs are much more common in .87 than in .86 - I get them with ANY vehicle on almost every map. I've had them with tanks, jets, littlebirds, hueys, cobras, WMIKs, HMMWVs - you name it

Graphics are all on high, VD is 100%.

others I game with have noticed they are much more common in the latest patch too.

I only ever get the soundbug on Ramiel, and once I had it on Kashan, in the training gamemode. I mean its a problem, but its one I can live with when it does occur. Its not like a CTD or something.

Ive noticed an increase in sounds bugs also and also notice random incendiary (#9) sounds. Anyone else get this?

Its about the same... didnt really make a change for me...

How come this doesnt happen in vannila?

Set and match?

With any luck the soundbug will be gone in 0.9.

Nop. Normally is an incendiary taking old my newly built FOB.

Ok not really.

Would be great news Maybe it's my imagination but I think that the soundbug can also disappear when the heli responsible for it appears in the area again. But if it gets destroyed somewhere else, the soundbug stays.

I think the sound bug of the past version is fixed in my experiance i no longer hear a chopper spooling up from the other side of a 4km map.. The sound bug thats getting confused with the old chopper sound bug is when your walking along in the map and you can hear a APC or TANK or even a chopper. You cannot see one and no one is reporting one. So you follow the sound and find your self stood in the middle of the sound effect. move away and its like the sound bugged veichal is right next to you but all you get is sound on a loop. Some times happens when the veichal is destroyed it disapers but the sound is still there.

Is that what the OP is refering to?

I dont hear a sound bug as much as I use to in previous versions

But it is not player side, its more like server side.

If you hear the sound, ask your teammates if they hear it, and they will
