1.5 generator sound masking still not working

[Nikan]

I'm still having issues with the sound masking not working properly with generators and some other items. Was this supposed to get fixed in the 1.5 release?

I've never encountered this and I have to wonder, are you and the others suffering from this "bug" aware that generators only produce intermittent sound masking? Also, during the start up of the mask it is weaker and a sufficently loud shot can still be heard through it.

I even get this intermittant error with the railway gun while standing on the bridge. Hard to miss that one.

Can you make sure you are starting the mission fresh and not from an old save please?

If it's still happening then, please drop us a ticket at rebellion.co.uk/support so we can look into it further.

Same problem here, just started playing, on second map soundmasking bugged out, not really feel like playing this game with this bug.

I'm experiencing this too. First two missions were fine, in third one the bug appeared. I bought the game less than week ago. In another thread someone said that this bug may be related to quicksaving/loading. I'm quicksaving and quickloading a lot, so maybe that's the case.

This is a game-breaking bug. Lack of sound-masking makes stealth impossible, which kinda defeats the purpose of a SNIPING game. Without sound-masking we will all have to re-live the COD-like nightmare that was SEv2.

SE4 is otherwise one of the best games I've played in my life. It really sucks to see it ruined by such a small issue. Please, Rebellion, fix it.

I recently bought Sniper Elite 4 and installed from Steam. On normal difficulty generator sound masking worked fine in missions 1 and 2, just like it did for all of Sniper Elite III, however in the 3rd mission, the dockyards one, I see the sound masking symbol just once after initiating it, and then no more. The docks are pretty tedious to try and do without sound masking. Also suppression ammo does not seem to work in the docks either.

I see this was reported way back in July, is there a fix?

Sound masking is pretty buggy when loading saves, unfortunately. I don't expect a fix.

I pass all missions on full stealth without soundmasking and it's not all about sniping, sometimes make it personal, or like me, melee kill everyone ;D

I dont think I have ever used a generator for soundmasking...but they do make a good diversion or a good lure to bring them creeping into my well laid traps :)
TBH though...I had assumed that the reason soundmasking rarely worked was because I am playing on authentic.

Hmm, this reminds me. I had forgotten that the soundmasking was buggy in single-player. I experienced this too, however nearly a year ago. And I played stealth-type play, trying to remain undetected.

Sound masking still buggy, after over a year.

But the game is called "Sniper Elite" :-) The sound surpressed ammo is also a good way around. Pretty strange though this is unfixable.

Yeah…actually not a problem. Waaaaah.

Get skills.

[Jurassic Fart 1]

Ain't happenin. Play more.

[zSe3nByGh0S7z]

I don't even use the soundmasking devices, lol. Just use supressed ammo.
