SGX Reload audio doesn't work consistently

When using the 41RND Magazine for the SGX, the audio for the (empty) reload animation doesn't work consistently. 

After a little testing, I found it only happens after being ADS for some time during shooting.

  • The reload animation sometimes doesn't play. Cuz of this, I've found myself in situations where I need to reload and think my gun isn't reloading due to the animation not playing, oh, the reload audio also gets real quiet when this happens. This is real distracting, especially when I wanna focus on my environment whilst reloading, and can't because it looks like the reload isn't happening and I'm stuck wondering if the game just didn't register the reload or what's going on. Worst case scenario so far, I was doing the empty mag reload, and since the animation wasn't playin out, I clicked R again and again, accidentally triggering another reload, which is real annoyin, cuz if I hadn't I maybe would have had a better chance against the guy who decided to push the corner.

     one of the empty reload animations on the SGX is completely mute. the one where the character hits the inside bolt release has no sound.

    Hey, folks

    Thanks for posting the details on this one. Update 1.2.3.0 included a number of weapon, audio, animation, and gameplay improvements, so it's helpful to know you're still seeing inconsistent behavior, specifically with the SGX and the 41-round magazine. Between your report and the other comments about missing reload sounds, quieter reload audio, and animations not always appearing correctly, it sounds like a few players may be seeing something similar.

    Have you noticed whether this only happens with the 41-round magazine, or does it occur with other magazine options as well? Also, have you tried testing it with different attachments, audio presets, or after repairing/verifying the game files to see if the behavior changes at all?

    I tested it with the other magazines and it only happens with the 41rnd magazine

    I'll keep testing with your different suggestions.

    The issue occurs on all audio mixes (War Tapes VAL, War Tapes, Default Mix, High Dynamics, Nightmode), and with minimal attachments and/or all attachments(Only while having the 41rnd magazine equipped)

    I also just got done verifying files, and the issue is still there.

    NUCLEARKREAPER-7​ I looked around on this to see what's what, but I did send it to the team. 

    Just gathering other threads; these steps seem to have helped others, so they may be worth a look.

    • Verify/repair the game files
    • Test the SGX with a different magazine and compare it to the 41-round magazine, as reports so far suggest the issue may be isolated to the 41-round option.
    • Try a different audio output device (headset, speakers, USB audio device, etc.) to see if the behavior changes.
    • Temporarily disable any surround sound, spatial audio, Dolby Atmos, Windows Sonic, or similar audio enhancements.
    • If the game is installed on an HDD, try moving it to an SSD.
    • If using the HD Texture Pack, try temporarily removing it and testing again.
    • Note whether the issue only occurs after being ADS for a period of time, or if it can occur immediately after spawning.
    • Check whether the reload audio is missing or extremely quiet, or whether the reload animation is also affected when the issue occurs.
