Footsteps are still silent sometimes

So congrats on still not fixing it. Been broken since before season 2 and yet here we are. I can people walk right up on me and no sound

Wear some headphones and quit complaining increasing bass also increases footstep audio

@FaIIenAngeI777 Headphones won’t fix it, there is something wrong with the audioM time to time. I’d venture to say its lag related.

But there are definitely times you can’t hear foot steps.

    Im not saying you are wrong, but I havent experienced too much problems with the sound. And I also know that a lot of people that I play with on a regular basis also have a problem hearing stuff when standing next to me, stuff that I hear perfectly.

    So the question is if they have this "bug" and I dont, or if it comes down to a difference in the quality of headphones, EQ settings (Ive customized my EQ for better clarity), or simply just difference in perception/focus.  I guess the ability to perceive sound and for your brain to "sort" them as important information must be as different for different players as the ability to spot enemies. I bet you can relate to the fact that you usually are much better at spotting enemies when spectating a teammate, simply because your brain can focus 100% on that, instead of playing the game.
