Totally understandable but you’ve got to understand how aggravating it is , this and all the other bugs that I report and get no response to or just told it’s on my end - left me feeling a bit bitter with the game today tbh.

I play on console and every single person I’ve spoken to that plays on console agrees there’s an audio issue with footsteps - and also no one has any issues with other games and their devices.

And the other thing is the problem has got way worse after the launch of season 2. The patch towards the end of season 1 seemed to fix the problem for everyone I spoke to but all the old bugs are back except for the distorted audio - that is literally the only bug that hasn’t returned .

Maybe your right and it’s mostly user error or hardware fault on pc but for console players I’m almost certain it’s on the games end 9/10 times.

Maybe I also shouldn’t comment on a post whilst still raging from the exact problem the topic dictates haha.

Because you didn't get a response doesn't mean it wasn't listened to or received. When the legendary hunt event launched and they added the ability to make custom button layouts on console, I submitted a bug where my keybinds were messed up. After some more testing in game (I could only test in actual matches and not in training mode) I found out that the game switched back and forth between your custom layout, and default layout when you enter a deathbox loot table menu, as well as when you opened the healing or ordnance wheel.

I made multiple updates and edits to my bug report where I clarified what was happens and how the team at respawn can replicate the problem.

I never got a response to my report on the forums, and there were likely some others who reported it later on. Yet this issue was resolved later. So they EA community manager staff definitely read it, probably replicated the issue themselves, and communicated the issue to respawn and it was fixed pretty quickly.
