[im reposting this exact bug report every match i have to deal with this bug until its fixed]
Sometimes there is no audio cue when you get hit by someone. If you are affected by this bug, it applies to all enemy heroes hitting you. It also applies to any damage ability they use. If they hit you, you just dont hear it. The only way to know is if you look at your health bar. dying seems to reset everything back to “working” but the bug can return later in the same match/round. (dying helps 90% of the time)
(its only the getting hit audio that disappears)
One example: soldier is shooting you from the right. There is 0 audio indicating he is shooting you. Unless you look at your hp bar, you LITERALLY have no clue youre getting shot at. This doesnt only apply to primary fire. If he would helix you in your face, the only indication you have in this case is the small knockback.
Another example: Junkerqueen. When she hits you with her knife, you get a bleeding effect. Usually, you can hear the bleeding happening (that little tssk tssk sound.) if you are affected by this bug, you dont even hear this sound at all.
If this bug is happening to you, you DONT HEAR ANY INCOMING DAMAGE regardless of what ability or weapon your opponent is using. it even happens with echo’s sticky bombs directly on your screen. that audio is also just not there. I also have a clip of wrecking ball mines not having audio of all things.
This bug can happen while playing any hero, and can happen to any enemy hero. So far its completely random when it happens, usually goes away when dying.
I have multiple clips for “proof”
Audio is an important part in this game and this bug is hindering my experience A LOT for the past 2 years.
Ive tried every single troubleshooting step you can think of. Ive replaced EVERY SINGLE PIECE OF HARDWARE that you can replace. i have a fresh windows install. Im 100% sure its a bug and not an issue on my end.
this needs to be fixed. im done.
