Smashing glass sound and barrel lids closing when logging in near car or base.

[storkmalork]

as the title says this sound bug scares the BeJesus outta me every time I log in near my car or base with barrels, it's been happening for way too long, over a year, I've been trying to get used to it but really, I cannot understand why it hasn't been addressed by the Devs, I know for sure it's not just me as my Compadre's on the server have had the same bug. Why hasn't this been fixed?

Ya.. happens if your carrying a barrel to, every 10 seconds or so you hear it close or open... annoying to say the least.

locks now have the same thing, if its in your hands it makes a click sound every once in a while that make me think I've change the code

[angriff]

Ya I get locks closing and tent zipping up. I jumped the first couple of times. Happens about 30 to 60 seconds after logging in for me. It is likely a low level bug report as it is innocuous and a minor inconvenience that is unless the sound is picked up by other players when you log in.

I know it's not that big a deal in the scheme of things, but if you're distracted and forget it's about to happen it can make your heart jump into your mouth when it goes off, especially if you have your headphones turned up at a high level for footsteps etc, it's like a bomb going off next to your ear and then you find it's time to change your pants!
It appeared mysteriously over 12 months ago and no one seems to be concerned about it.

I watched a video where someone locks the door in a building in the middle of the night while his buddy goes makes them a splint. Suddenly there is gunfire flashes and bangs in the windows. The buddy runs back in and kills a couple of guys that spawned back into the locked building.

Not sure I would want it but maybe you should announce you spawning in with some sort of bubble to keep you safe while you sync in for a few seconds or at least keep you from shooting up the place for 15 seconds.

I’d guess it’s just a syncing thing going on between server and client. It’s a bit freaky I’ll admit, but not a major concern. The game is likely loading the barrels open and the game is closing them or vice versa, making the noise when it happens since your client likely is just changing the state the same way you do. There will likely be a patch for it soon, but tied into one of the major patches. I’d recommend checking an official forum and posting it there if it isn’t already, though I’m sure they’re aware of this by now.

I remember some time ago, before 1.10 i think, i found a car in working condition on official, drove it to a nearby forest and hid there and logged off as i was waiting for my buddy to have time to get in the game and walk to that spot. I would log in once a day to check on the car, and in 30-60 seconds after i would log in it would make a sound like someone shot through a window, i would ♥♥♥♥ bricks, hide behind the car and log out. That happened many many times, i was like wtf why would a sniper camp this position like all day but also be such a bad shot. Then i started thinking it was happening due to car being parked in the woods and on an incline, that being parked on rough terrain and an incline was damaging the car due to how cars are in DayZ. I also then had a similar situation where i logged off near another car and when i logged back on it also made this sound and i ♥♥♥♥ my pants again, took cover and logged off. It was relatively close to the first spot and both spots were in view of a high communications tower and i thought "man, that damn sniper on the tower is really getting on my nerves"

Classic, that made me laugh so hard reading that, I could see you crouched down beside the car shaking in you boots, but that's the effect this thing has on you, you think you're being sniped and duck for cover, even when you know it's coming it still manages to get you.

An open barrel collecting rain seems to almost always make the lid sound every several seconds. Just one lid sound even if there are 10 barrels sitting there.

[storkmalork]

for anyone with a large base it's a nightmare, first you here the lids of barrels closing, then the sound of tents zipping up, then the clicking of locks and finally the smashing of glass if you have cars parked inside. Gets me every time.

[h0m3br3w55]

noise pollution is an under-noticed bug in DayZ but at the same time keeps one on their toes...

[filthy_beast]

The persistent sound of barrel lids closing makes it problematic to use them in my hidden stash, because anyone passing by could hear it, tipping them off that they are close to a stash in a location no one would otherwise imagine as a likely place to look.

[etwas]

the broken glass from a car sound when logging in is there since over a year. since barrels catch water they make the open/close lid sound while it rains. and yes - this is how people discover your base. quite lame devs didnt care yet to fix a simple audio sound which is really annoying.

Oh, so thats how people found my improvised shelter and my garden, after i dragged a barrel to the place!!

I'm going to do a few experiments on this regarding the barrels. When you fill a canteen or bottle from a barrel it does that lid sound the whole time while out in the open - but I had a barrel in a military tent and was emptying the water in it to store clothes without them getting wet and there was no lid sound. I hadn't given it much thought until being reminded by this thread.

A related topic is who can actually hear all these sound bugs - some may be detected only by the participant, such as the filling of a container from a barrel. But, yeah, this bug could ruin your day/week/month in pvp situations.
