fix not hearing gunfire

[qww 287]

we need to be able to hear gunshots, i cant think of anything more important to get fixed in the game! not zombies, not lag, not anything,

 

every day one person hears a gunshot when other one doesnt, even from super close, when im in a group. today it made a situation unplayable so badly that i had to make this post.

 

im a happy alpha tester usually, defending the alpha status etc, while i must admit this is making me wana take a break from dayz, especially if its something thats not seen as important enough to get fixed quickly

A couple days ago my friend and I were playing on first person as usual and suddenly we couldn't hear each others gunshots even from 10 meters away (only impact sounds when shot in vicinity). Changing servers, rebooting or even reinstalling the whole game didn't help. But as soon as we entered the flush -command it went away. We can't be the only ones with this problem so we decided to post it here.

So guys, if you and your friends can't always hear the same gunshots, you better try Flush by pressing Shift + "-" and then type flush.

Hope this helps.

I actually thought it was "only me" tbh. When I play with a buddy of mine, he almost always would hear a gunshots and I wouldn't. I thought it was just because he had the volume higher... I knew that couldn't have been it.

They realize there are bugs. That's why they warned about them in the store's page  :)

[Daemonkid 493]

You just type it right after hitting the correct key combination. No prompt or anything just shift + - then type flush

read (and understand)  the last sentence of my original post, then stop posting on this topic, because you clearly have nothing useful to add here

For all the people who are whining about bugs, you shouldn't have bought the game. These topics should be locked  ;)

 

You are complaining about a single bug. Get over it and move on. Also, report it to the feedback tracker. Didn't your parents teach you not to embarrass yourself on the internet?

[Loopest 60]

A ) I'm not defending, I'm only speaking of the warning in giant, bold, underlined letters on the game's page.

 

B ) There's a difference between defending and repeating for your ignorant little mind.

 

C ) Just move on. People aren't going to ever listen to your bitching & moaning on these forums.

Dude, first of all...

 

I love how 2 forum admins agreed with my posts :)

 

"Discussing how bugs affect the game" is what the feedback tracker is for. 

 

Anyone else getting really tired of this whining?

in my op, i said

 

                                "im a happy alpha tester usually, defending the alpha status"

 

what part of that did you not understand, becaue you seem to have ignored that part of the post(aswell as teh actual topic of the post), and then seem overjoyed when you get the approval of "the admins".

 

 

the game is a shooter, you cant hear gunshots, i think its an important thing to fix, more important than lag, you see it as whining, but you clearly dont even understand what this post is about, or teh angle its coming from,

 

you added nothing., just attacking the post, without getting it.

 

 

edit: also, dotn make out that we cant discuss bugs here, because we can, this is general discussion, we can chat about the game we are testing

If it's important to fix, report it. That's all you can do...

the topic is not about reporting the bug, the bug is known,. you have made about 8 posts on this thread, all of them have nothing to do with the op, and have not been helpful or useful, in any way at all.

Then why did 2 forum admins like my posts? 

[meiz22 17]

If you try that flush command type thingo, make sure you are somewhere safe because when i tried it (just seeing what it did) it put me on a loadscreen for 20-30 seconds.

 

Edit: Damn loopest, he got a solution in the first reply, your arguing is one of the main things keeping the tread up now., mods would have locked when they liked your post if this thread was soo bad.

You need to learn to not damn double post.

Also on a related note I have yet to experience this but it is a gameplay bug which effects firefights, not a main aspect of the game such as the engine, optimization, etc. so therefore i do not feel it should be that high priority, maybe a hotfix or something though.

Yes. I agree.

While I agree that it is an important step that needs to be made, I don't necessarily feel its any more important that some of the other issues we are having. I think the idea is to hopefully completely redo the entire sound engine, which I imagine will take some time. I'd LOVE for the sounds to be as complex and a dynamic as some of the mods for the ARMA games, because you are right about it being critical to the gameplay. I tend to stay far away from people, and would love to hear a loud crack in the distance as a group shoots down a player or zombie, and be able to guess how far away they might be.

 

I think taking a break from the game might not actually be a bad idea. With the recent hold on patches for stable the game has become more stagnant, the glaring bugs building up our percepted severity and making people wonder what is even going on. However, if you've played experimental, you'll understand why I am personally very excited about what the future might hold for the game, and re inspired as to the potential. Taking a break until some of these changes and even more make their way in could be a great idea.
