connorwarman 60 Posted August 10, 2014 Whats up with ArmA 3's vanilla sounds? Since the Alpha I have noticed a consistent trend in sound issues in game. Whether its some sounds completely overlapping others, guns/vehicles not making any noise at all after a few hundred meters. How come that chopper is firing its main cannon 300M above me and I cant hear it? Why am I taking fire but can figure out where from because the gun sounds are so low? Its a serious issue that myself and my community has observed over the course of ArmA 3's lifetime. It something I consistently notice that really ruins most of the game for me. My situation awareness gets completely borked every mission because the game cant seem to handle more than a few noises going off at one time. Does anyone know why BIS has neglected this issue? Am I crazy/dumb? Is it just me/my community? Thanks! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
miketim 20 Posted August 10, 2014 Yeah some of the sounds in arma 3 can be odd, especially with distances and such. Wait for JSRS: Dragonfyre to come out, use that and then wait for Advanced Combat Sound Environment to come out, and then use that instead. I think sound mods are going to be the only way in the future, but I am hanging on without any for now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We shouldn't have to wait for mods, why is it that BIS cant fix their base game? Its just very disappointing as a long time player.

enex 11 Posted August 10, 2014 Well for one speed of sound is fixed. "Yesterday's dev update also brought word of a fix to 'speed of sound' simulation. It's a relatively complex under-the-hood change to the ordering of samples, which caused an issue where some samples were played in 2D, rather than 3D with attenuation. One useful example of what's changed is an issue where you could hear reloading across the island after the shooting, but the shooting sound came later than reloading sound. This problem should now be addressed. As promised last week, more updates should emerge from the re-purposed Audio department in the near future!" Source: http://dev.arma3.com/post/sitrep-00068 More: "Last week, we managed to add sounds to opening and closing doors in game. The work is still in progress - all doors currently have the same sound - but we're looking to add different samples for distinctive types of door. Although it's a fairly minor feature, it's something that's been omitted for many years. Furthermore, this (relatively) safe/simple work has been a good learning experience for our new audio designers, who are still getting to grips with the engine. With this in mind, Audio Lead Jan Dušek has started work on a blog that outlines the recent changes in his department and communicates his vision of the future of audio development in Arma 3."

Bee8190 10 Posted August 11, 2014 Thats good to hear, but the door noises seem a bit unnecessary, when compared with the other issues at least. As mentioned in the post above the new sound engineer is exploring the engine so while seemingly unnecessary, I for one am more than happy to give BI more time providing they get it *right at the end.
