What happens when the bug occurs? Enemy player appears suddenly having not made any audible footstep sounds, despite having run full speed. Usually you don't hear them until after they start shooting, which is often too late. It makes combat unsatisfying, and random -- reducing the tactical depth of the gameplay.
What should be happening instead? Should be able to clearly hear enemy footsteps approaching, from every direction, prioritised in the sound mix as a matter of importance
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Use audiophile grade headphones, expensive DAC, headphone amplifier, clean out your ears and then realise it makes no difference, you still can't hear enemy footsteps reliably if there are other sounds playing.
