Footsteps

Why is the sound for foot steps so inconsistent? Can this please get fixed? There are times i can hear enemy footsteps over teammate footsteps, over gunfire, 50+ meters away and then there are times they are a literal ghost making zero noise. It has gotten me a bunch of kills and has also gotten me killed a bunch as well.

    BF5 is an entirely different Engine, Not hearing specific sounds in games can be for a number of reasons the limited through-put of those shoddy USB sound dongles is one, The extra 7.1 surround software introducing a Null effect by doing the same thing 2x which many game engines already have BINAURAL 3D sound output, But people get caught up in the gimicks of it all ticking that special box or slider or drop menu wow much many wow.

    AMAZING REAL LIFE RGB GAMING HEADSET 7.1 SUPER SURROUND SOUND BLAH BLAH THC THX ETC ETC ETC enabled blahhhhhhhh

    Cpu can also be a limiting factor with sound processing and the sound drops because of running out of processing time. 

    Check your sound output Format you might be flooding the device and it could be dropping certain sounds.


    lmao, you're not serious are you?

    it's almost sycophantic to even try to claim that the issue isn't with the game itself but with people using surround sound USB dongles or not having enough CPU cycles? like are you even serious right now? hello? 

    if you can't see that then you're already beyond reason especially when respawn has publicly stated they're aware of the issue and are working on it

    @MyCanklesHurt been going downhill for a while. lost a big part of the community anyway. cant see how season two would recover whats already gone. they had a chance to capitalize on the initial hype but they chose to leave the game alone and do nothing. 2 million downloads in an hr and $92 million in revenue during the first month would've had any logical devs coming through imperfections with a fine tooth come...but they choose to NOT immediately fix issues. so imo it will likely be a ghost game LONG before a season 3 is an actual thought

    wouldve at least bought s2 battle pass...but im not buying more stat trackers and quips soooo yeah...not buying s2 bp either...also not spending $20 for a weapon skin...

    @apexistrash08 ita a shame really apex could have been a good BR game but EA and respawn will see to it that it never improves.

    @MyCanklesHurt it really is...had tons of fun in the first week or two. then the bugs and server issues and imbalances if gameplay came to light. had a chance to be a REALLY good game with a REALLY large and diverse player base but slow actions and pigheadedness by the devs have at least quartered the player base. core game mechanics were great and brought alot of players from other games over. but now the features that made apex different have been scooped and implemented by other games. dont misunderstand me...being different is not what made the game appealing. the movement style and gun play style are by no means revolutionary as it can be found in several other games like warframe and titanfall to name off the top...but apex was out for 2 weeks when epic said "hey! people like being able to respawn teammates"...guess what...the next week it was in fortnite...epic saw a interact command for ziplines...1 week later it was in fortnite...epic saw the balloons that allow for redeploy...guess what...1 week later their were gysers that redeploy. everything that made respawn different is no longer unique to apex. they experience massive growth REALLY quick and responded terribly. it doesnt take 2 months to fix a bug. this is evident by how quickly bugs get patched in fortnite. now im not saying they have to follow fortnites update regime with content but they should have at least followed thier patch policy.

    there was so much potential to grow this game to unseen heights. the addition of different game modes such as solo/duo/quads/tdm/rumble/capture/ranked/king of the hill and a slew of others could have kept large portions of the now missing player base and expanded them even further. and before some idiot says "you know how long it takes to code a game mode?" here ya go...epic releases at least 3 LTM PER WEEK!!!! the heart of the matter is that the devs stupidly missed the best opportunity to make this game the best it could be. 

    can it still be good provided ideology changes? YES

    will it ever be what it could have been under proper management? NOT A CHANCE
