Audio Stuttering - Temp Fix

[Fayenwolf]

Credit to user Lovelace in a previous thread for the fix...

Download the FFVIIHook mod from NexusMods: https://www.nexusmods.com/finalfantasy7remake/mods/74

Follow the installation instructions.

Once installed, launch the game and press ~ (tilde key) to open the dev console.

Type:
au.SetAudioChannelCount 1
au.SetAudioChannelCount 0

This may remove the sounds that are causing the issue, so you'll have missing sound effects such as footsteps or fire crackling. Most sounds return after a level reset or load, but at the very least it is a temporary fix for the atrocious audio stuttering after the first mission and the squad is regrouping in Midgar.

So your telling me, this is the same garbage version as Epic? they had 6 months to fix the stuttering, some garbage textures and they didnt? oh thats explain the price of the game then.

I feel your frustration. The best success SE has had on PC with games was FFXIV: A Realm Reborn, FFXV, and FFXII: The Zodiac Age. Most other ports/titles have had bugs and issues rampant. I have faith that SE after a time will fix the bugs with enough player inquiry/complaint. They did the same with FFXIV, damn near re-building the entire game, and with FFXV's bugs on PC. I give Square more leeway than lets say, EA, Bioware, Blizzard and 343. They are a better publisher than the aforementioned that's for sure, partly being they are a majority Japanese company, with different values than the west when it comes to business and ethics.

Here's to SE patching this eventually.

Not a permanent fix, but a "better" one that's for sure. Here's your points. I'm a man of my word. Thanks again fren!
