So I have the problem that some of my sound effects seem to be not playing the hit register sound is especially noticeable rn mostly it’s gone but sometimes it still plays.
When playing Sombra there is the same issue with the hack confirmation sound sometimes it plays but most of the time it doesn’t. A similar issue also happens with Translocator whenever it destroys itself (Whenever that is from using or manually destroying it the animation and sound of it getting destroyed only happens sometimes completely at random here is a video of the hit register sound and Hacking confirmation sound:
Solution found:
The either the role queue beta update or my reinstalling of the PTR into the normal OW folder caused the setting limit client and server send rate to enable which caused both problems above + also why my ping was so bad the last few weeks Imgur: The magic of the Internet
I just wanted to note that I have been having similar issues (I posted it here last week). It was driving me insane, but your solution (changing the those limiting settings) worked for me as well. It must have been the role queue beta update that did it for whatever reason.
Thanks!
I’ve noticed this also take effect on more cosmetic things like voicelines and visual effects. Why have restricted sending for something important like ability ques and hit marks? at least make it client-side if there isn’t a response from the server to play the sounds
