You said you fixed audio. You lied.
Now audio is even messier than before. Sometimes you just can't hear some stuff, like when you or the enemy shoots, picking stuff, pinging and other things. If before audio was trash, i don't know ho...
Forum Discussion
@MandatoryIDtag Most of the audio concerns at the moment are purely centered around Horizon. She makes noise virtually gone with abilities going and such. If she Q around a team the audio will be freaky for a few seconds even can silence gunshots completely.
@DoYaSeeMe Some communication would be nice.
The playerbases frustration regarding the audio is certainly warranted though, we're told in the patch notes we're receiving audio improvements and overall they're significantly worse than before.
If like @E9ine_AC suggests and these problems are mostly related to horizon though....hopefully that should make it somewhat easier to fix.
I did manage to get my hands on a Devotion last night that appeared to have been fitted with a 'silent firing' hop-up.
@EdwardDLuffy was a horizon nearby?
Both times I've fully lost weapon audio for me and the enemy has been near her active tactical.
- @MandatoryIDtag Actually, yes! If I remember there was a Horizon Ult going off close. Perhaps it sucks in sound as well :D
I enjoy playing Horizon and even though I've only played her five times I have 13 kills with her. I take her if someone else takes Rev. I threw her Ult at a Mirage dance party yesterday and it sucked in all the holos.
Also a TM Rampart got annoyed when I took a cell from a loot bin she had opened and punched me and then pinged 'I need shields' (she didn't - it was drop). I just dropped the tactical under her and she was up, up and away ...
- @MandatoryIDtag The issues I encountered on audio side were rarely Horizon related. I'd say it's something related to the large number of sounds that are currently in game, their more advanced modulation, the allocated memory, the resources required to process them, their priority / state system. I have a feeling that high end PCs have less problems, almost none when game is played on LAN (in house testing, tournaments) but it's not like they can throw the low end devices out of the window, and we certainly can't play the game on LAN, unless we can print enough money to host a tournament at a venue every day.
@DoYaSeeMe Maybe dude, you're the tech boffin out the two of us here so your thoughts are probably more plausible....but its sure one hell of a coincidence if these issues are kicking in when horizons round.
Either way I hope it doesn't take too long to resolve!
- @MandatoryIDtag Well, I'm like 80% set on "it's going to take a while".
