Sounds get lost over net

Recommended Posts

I assume this is not a software/hardware issue, it's about the netcode.

There were multiple occasions when i recognised i couldn't hear a man walking nearby. And i did notice that issue only because i was waiting and trying to hear his breath or footsteps, or because i got suddenly dead. Sometimes i do hear them, but sometimes i don't.

For example, yesterday i got into the building. I was watching my sector and i assumed that my rear was relatively safe, because i would hear it if someone would be moving close enough behind me.

What a surprise it was to me, when my teammate suddenly ran through my position, nearly shoulder-to-shoulder! I _started_ hearing him only when he was bypassing me already.

Several days before: i got killed, but there were NO gunshots or footsteps. And while i was falling down, i saw - but not heard - an adversary coming from the bush at the distance of ~5 meters behind me. Just 1-2 seconds after, when he stood upon my cooling body, his hard breath suddenly appeared, and i saw his M4, no suppressor...

Now i know that in Arma i just can't rely upon my ears, totally.

Now all this looks like lags. My bandwidth for the game is 64kbps. I sometimes see men/vehicles get jerky. But they don't disappear totally, as the sounds do.
