Fix footstep sounds.

So, could you guys please take a step back from new content and just take some time to just fix your guys foot steps. I can't hear anything at times. Honestly I get it you guys need to make money but you have plenty of money. All it takes is just the whole company you guys got and just fix the whole thing. Nobody cares about new characters, maps, etc. Just fix the footsteps. I got Astros A50s updated everything and even changed my settings and still no footsteps sounds sometimes. How you guys gonna have ranked but buggy foot steps. Do better as a company please.

    @Joemanji The main issue is that the sound engine seems to only allow a certain amount of sounds to be played at once, and thus won't play footsteps and a few other sounds as its constantly at its max.

    @Joemanji if you are on pc,  then youngtree tells me Steelseries Sonar software is wonderful at improving the footstep audio. It comes with apex presets.

    @Joemanji if you are in a party and have people talking you will hear the talking but not the footsteps there is no other way around it. Even Nrg Sweet gets fooled by it I saw a video where his teammate was almost yelling in the mic about something then Sweet got rushed on and he blamed the "no audio" but problem really was the "noisy teammate".

    @id_waki only if you can put your sound through a laptop or pc, from say a TV.

    There's no audio jacks on xbox or Ps, 

    so another way may be: 

    Ps/xbox to hdmi splitter, 

    Hdmi to normal video output, 

    And a hdmi to audio jack adaptor to laptop/pc

    To normal sound output headphones/speakers

    Might work

    There may also be optical sound output options but i don't know much about that yet

    I have a good idea for a fix..... seeing as how teammate footsteps work absolutely perfect all the time from above to below, side to side.

    And seeing as how enemy footsteps are broken to all hell below, above behind for about 10 seasons at least....

    Can we just somehow swap our teammate footsteps for enemy footsteps???

    Problem solved  : )
