Many people like yourself have experienced the āno footstepsā Reaper issue, hereās one such video of the problem:
In the killcam he even says āHi!ā from point blank behind Widow before killing her, and you donāt even hear it.
Itās funny because in their original GDC video the Overwatch sound designers stated specifically that Reapers flank killing out of nowhere was a huge problem and that they designed the sound system specifically to address the issueā¦ Guess somethingās gone wrong in the system.
Thanks so much for sharing your videos! How strange, so the audio is lost in-game but when replayed in highlight the sound FX come back, how bizarre. I have level 3 so Iāll repost these so itās easier for others to playback:
For a while Iāve been playing Mcree a lot and when Iām in the training room with the bots the head shot sound sometime happens sometimes you only see the mark that indicated that you hit the target but not sound cue whatsoever. Is the same when collecting health packs and in game is almost a nightmare because you barely hear enemies approaching before you can react and that is the best case when you do.
Iāve uninstall and reinstalled every software and follow all the troubleshoot info giving by blizzard
Thanks a lot for catching and posting these, Muf, really helps to keep this issue bumped. Iāve added these to the (growing) master list of such threads in my second post and contacted the authors of those threads to share their experiences or videos here if possible. Hopefully the continued push against this issue will make it a higher priority for the devs.
When iām in a game I can hear all of the other game sound effects fine but the voice chat doesnāt register. I have tested my mic and looked at my settings but the issue still persists. If I canāt communicate with my team then iām going to end up losing a lot of games
same i have sound issue too cant hear enemy footsteps or their ultimateās lots of sound missing from close range attacks and so on its a big issue blizzard need to fix it aspā¦
