Returning back here after Patch #5. Still no mention of this in the patch notes and surprise surprise, the issue is still present.
In the meantime, I have tried upgrading my pc. I am now running the game on a brand new, almost empty SSD and my RAM has been upped to 32gb.
Audio still cuts in and out.
It is rather evident it is a CPU related issue, but since reducing the number of CPUs used solves the audio problem (absolutely destroying the game fluidity in return), it does not make any sense to me.
What makes even less sense is the absolute lack of acknowledgement from the developers.
I will repeat myself until nausea, but I bought this game in pre-order and I still cannot play it. Friends with less powerful hardware have finished it with no issue. My steam counter is up to 20 hours of pure troubleshooting.
The community managers here have vanished into thin air, and the patch notes say a typo has been fixed in game.
Meanwhile, me and many other players are still waiting to actually PLAY a title we paid considerably.
This is ridiculous.
what i find hilarious is i installed the new indiana game, maxed settings on 4k, it runs with no issue on my system frame rate was only around 40 fps, but i knew i was over pushing what my hardware can do, i just wanted to see. I cant even run veilguard in 1080p lowest settings without the sound crackling non stop.
