Summarize your bug Mode: Squad Conquest (was not listed); Map: Hamada; Summary: During gameplay, after exiting a vehicle, the game audio playback glitched out going silent, but then reproducing gunshots with extreme reverberation and high sound levels at the same time. Also, ambient sounds seemed reversed and reverberated, occasionally playing long screams and haunting sounds, similar to "ghosts" or "demons". Audio is also clipped/distorted, probably due to high line levels. Happened only once, so far.
How often does the bug occur? Rarely (0% - 9%)
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? I have no clues on how to reproduce it instead of playing Squad Conquest on Hamada and fidgeting with vehicles.
What happens when the bug occurs? Audio playback glitches out in a spectacular fashion.
What should be happening instead? Normal gameplay. No audio bugs.
I've made a Reddit post about this bug. In it, you'll find video evidence of the audio glitch:
I've seen at least one person that reproduced most of the variables: 1- Squad Conquest; 2- Hamada; 3- Glitch happened after exiting a vehicle (in his case he left the vehicle as it was being destroyed by incoming enemy tank rounds).
