One1_ManArmy 5 Posted October 17, 2014 Hi all I'm relatively new to DayZ, in fact new to the PC experience entirely. Strap yourselves in for a story/ question about the game. After buying and downloading DayZ, and putting now roughly something like 24hrs into the game, I've noticed random sound files/ FX playing randomly. These include zombie noises, players eating, a snapping sound that sounds like a bullet going past my head, reloading sound, opening a soda can, and drinking sounds. At first, I was scared, hiding in buildings and in bushes for ages as I thought I could here another player reloading/ drinking oust next to me, ready to shot me given the chance. But now after some experience with these sound glitches I grew complacent. Hearing these sounds no longer trigger fear and I just ignore them entirely. That was until the other day. At Gorka in the hospital, I'm crouched and sorting my inventory when I hear the usual sound of a player eating. Disregarding it as usual I run out, only to find a player in the room next to me eating powdered milk. In a panic, I ran, no ammo or melee weapon I felt like an easy target. This other player managed to cancel his action and pull out a gun (not sure what it was) and shot me in the back. I'm just wondering if anyone else experiences these random sound effects that only should occur when another player is doing an action near you. It is annoying in cities as I'm never quiet sure. I realise its an alpha, but I've seen no one else comment about it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sleeves 98 Posted October 17, 2014 This happens a lot. Every noise you hear is happening to someone on the server. The difference between a noise happening across the server and one near you is the length of the audio.For instance, a zombie yelp. The audio will be cut short when a zombie spots a person across the map. The full audio file will play when a zombie spots you or someone near you. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I used to think the same... BUT before 0.47/0.48 or 0.49 (not sure anymore) there was no sound bug for the WHOLE eating "animation", it was always just parts of it (same for drinking).Now, you can hear WHOLE eating/drinking animations (pretty rare though), even though no one is close to you.

Dude forget cities, go play on a night server and go alone to the NWAF and camp there.I was close to calling the psychiatry if they could look after me for the next two weeks after that :D Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
escobert 112 Posted October 17, 2014 Yeah I've heard full eating/drinking animations and straight up gun shots that sounded like they were coming right for me. the zombie noises are always there and the drinking/eating used to get cut off more often. But the gun shots scared the shit out of me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sleeves 98 Posted October 17, 2014 I wonder if the empty bow firing bug still works. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
