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
@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.
@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".
@DoYaSeeMe Yeah.....100%
I was just trying to be optimistic haha.
@MandatoryIDtagActually, it seems that I wasn't that far off with my guessing. Here's what the devs say on Reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/apexlegends/comments/jpb4w3/were_the_team_who_brought_you_horizon_olympus_and/gbe4kae/?context=3
@DoYaSeeMe There it is! Communication!
It's really not that hard....and goes a long way to improving player opinion of the developers.
@CroL0co Yeaah its not great. There is a complete overload of audio in that mode though, so its just the same issues we see in the standard mode but condensed to one small spot.
Between every player having 3 grenades, the mirage music and 9 sets of gunfire it was never gonna be clean audio lol.
