FIX THE EFFING SOUND
Love the updates - but fix the effing sound already. I love this game - want to play it again - but you effed up the footstep sound - could really care less about wolf spawn rate - just fix the sound. Game currently unplayable with SUPER LOUD FOOTSTEPS ALL THE TIME regardless of how low I set the sound.
THANKS.
CAPS FOR EFFECT BECAUSE YELLING SUCKS - KINDA LIKE REALLY LOUD FOOTSTEPS ALL THE TIME..
peace and love..
just..
ugh.. so frustrating if I have to wait two months to play this game again..

Why would you have to wait two months? We update regularly.

In fact, we just updated 15 minutes ago. Your issue is likely resolved. Please check and let us know!

You guys are awesome - I admit it - but this update did not fix the footstep sound issue. Here's the deal - I set the sound to 1% volume - and the footsteps are still really loud.
I'm not the only one that is experiencing this - I know that you guys updated the sound files in the last content update - it's just somehow the sound controls don't control the footsteps at all.

I'm OK with this if I can turn footsteps off altogether and leave the other sounds on..
OR
have footsteps scale down using the in-game volume controls.
I'm happy to submit a log, specs, whatever you need to help your dev team.
-Respectfully - and - seriously - thank you --
I'm so ready to play again...

No - I can play it with the sound off, but it really is not that much fun.. with the new aggro from the wildlife it is pretty necessary to hear when you aggro - AND I have to say - I love the sound in TLD - all of it - searching the lockers, bags, footsteps - it really compliments the art so well..
I'm not trying to say that the game is not playable - it just is for me - because I rely on the sound in addition to the visuals - sorry if I said it wrong before.

In your game directory go to:
tld_data > streamingassets > audio > generatedsoundbanks > windows

Should find footsteps .bnk and .txt there, just remove them from that folder to disable footsteps, recommend keeping them somewhere safe incase you want to restore.
