Crying Noises

[CJ_14 105]

It's a bug, there's a cannibal or two on the server and you're hearing the sound they make. It glitches, just like you hear phantom pop cans, ammo sorting and the like. It's creepy as hell, especially when you're playing at night. It happened to me and I thought a cannibal was stalking me through night time Novo, but after about a half hour of hearing it, always at the same volume I figured it out. Still, when I hear it for the first time, I take caution's side and assume it's real. After the third or fourth time hearing it, while moving at the same volume and no sighting of the person it's safe to assume it's a glitch.

 

Yeah, now I just don't pay much attention when it happens...and happens a lot lately, people are crazy out there man...

LOL My first game I went into a shack.. Lucky me I'm hungry and I found 2 raw steaks!

Begin eating and quickly realize it says 'eating human steak' Gahhhhh!!!! Couldn't cancel action cause I didn't know how and voila accidental cannibal... Facepalm

Or perhaps you should consider it is your own character emitting those noises? The "same volume" kinda supports that theory. As I stated, unlike the ambient sounds bugs, it doesn't cut off, you don't hear half of that sample, like you only hear half of the ammo sorting samples, half of drinking or opening sodas, half of the eating etc etc, you hear the full sample, up close, and it is a relatively long sample. And always at the same volume, like it is always the same volume when your character eats, reloads, grunts, or does everything else.

Yeah, but is not:

 

1) I've never ate a human steak

2) Is a confirmed bug

3) This bug has nothing to do with the other sound bugs

4) It's already on the FBT

I've never ate human steak either and also experienced this. I never claimed you had to eat human meat to experience this, quite the contrary. Your failure to recognise this, makes me suspect you have failed in general reading skills concerning my post. However I am not going to hold it against you and I will continue writing this as if you had a point: I'm sorry but you have to provide some actual links for the 2-4 claims in your posts. I've searched the bug tracker and haven't been able to find any confirmation of your claims, but as well all now it is a clunky bit of software, so I may have done it wrong.

Please confirm with links.

I experienced this for the first time last night on an entirely empty server (well, when I joined there were another three or four on it, but they all left and the noises continued). I've never eaten human meat, or had anything to do with cannibalism. Really hope this doesn't mean I'm stuck with making this sound for ever...

 

And, yes, the explosions happen because if some blows up a petrol station it will blow again when ever someone else joins (and perhaps leaves) the server.

It is, it happens everytime someone joins a server

 

Is that what it is? We thought it was someone entering your 'network bubble' but we wernt sure.

I have heard this too and I like the feature, just like I am not so opposed to the random sounds.  Homo sapiens are social animals, so the more we are secluded from others and the more we KoS. maybe, the more we should hear these random sounds and cry and laugh hysterically, Kuru or not.  What got me was bells, I heard the bells in the clock tower in Chernogorsk tolling at midnight.  If I had heard the laugh too, oh man, I would have logged out IMMEDIATELY and gone to bed and put my head under the covers....

 

I'd like random payphones to just start ringing too, just like they do in the film The Omega Man.
