Machine gun noise everywere

[gamer3213000]

Okay it started out just around one block. But as the game has gone on I have constant machine gun noise that is "following me" as I move around "downtown". Its really really not fun. Anyone had this? Anyone know of a command for this type of bug, may be a "reset" for back ground noise or something???? I'm affraid its gonna end up being all over the game map sometime, ug. Thanks, Travis

There a bug that attaches itself to turrets that get destroyed from time to time as well as auto weapons. Logging out and back in should reset the sound... hopefully.

The sound could be the one from the workbench bug. Search for that for some answers. I think that going around your settlement and interacting with the workbenches cures it.

There are several possible causes some mentioned already as well as the occasionally if you gave your follower a mini-gun or used one yourself that will sometimes cause that sound to get stuck playing.

IF that is the cause one possible fix would be to (trade that gun from the follower if they have it) ditch it somewhere if the sound is attached to it then the sound should stay behind.

If this bug happens in a settlement with one of your turret then you need to relog. If you leave that settlement the stuck sound will cause payrus script to crash and it will corrupt your data in your pipboy. Then your happiness will plummet due to missing beds, food, crops, defense, etc.

I know it can sound stupid and paranoid, but your happiness can plummet in 5-10 minutes from this and it will literally takes hours of play time for the happiness damage to recover.

Oh the settlement happiness corrects itself. It just takes forever.

At least now you know when it happens you can prevent the issue.

The technical part is something to do with when you get far enough and the sound turns off it crashes the scripting running for the settlement. This is also why you avoid radios playing in the settlement as well. This reduces the pipboy data corruption by a huge amount.

Ah, good to know:)

BTW, is it sad or wrong that I am still playing this when "in the mood" vs the 76 cause I have heard nothing but bad things about it. Figured I was better off playing one I liked even if "old" vs something new that I would not like?????

Hey, 76 is a PVP focused multiplayer game where Fallout 4 is single player only. Huge difference, so, no, it's not wrong or sad. It has to do with what you're interested in at the moment. Your money, your game, you play what you want to play and to hell with the rest of the world.

LOL. No, Fallout 76 allows multiplayer and PVP. You can literally play hours without being in the same area as someone else on the server. In other words do not allow the multiplayer or PVP scare you away from it. It aint like WoW when you go out and there is liek always a dozen people in an zone.
