Geese make no noise anymore?

[SuperRhino]

I don't know what happened in the new patch, but I can't hear geese calls in the air anymore. I restarted my game and I still can't hear them, I can hear other animals just fine but not geese. I have never had this issue with geese before and used to hear them just fine, now they make no noise. Anyone else having this issue?

[SuperRhino]

ok, so geese DO make noise, you just have to be REALLY close to them... what? Is this what "Adjusted geese volumes" meant in patch notes? If so, please change it back! Geese sound volume was fine the way it was, now I can't hear a goose unless it is right on top of me! Which takes all the fun out of goose hunting. They are loud and vocal creatures and should be loud in the game. I'm also not seeing anywhere near as many geese now as I used to, only 2 flocks in one days worth of hunting, which is ridiculous. I think I will quit goose hunting until their volume is fixed back to how it was before.

I have this same issue. Before the patch I could hear geese from far out. Now I don't hear them until they are directly overhead and it seems that the geese just seem to blow by me now rather than coming down. I am using decoys and blind. This really ruins goose hunting, you should be able to hear them far out much like it was previously before the patch.

I thought they'd adjusted the goose noise by reducing the number of geese. Must have been the bird flu.

I had an entire day in Hirschfelden, and didn’t hear them. Mainly west of Mullerwald. Wasn’t hunting geese, but I was expecting to hear them, at a reduced noise level. The next day I tried to go to my geese field spot with 20 + decoys. As I was walking towards the field, I heard them for about 5 seconds, and then I suddenly stopped hearing them. Didn’t see them either.

Perhaps the sound, as it used to be, could be played or not depending on whether you have the geese caller with you when you are hunting. Otherwise they could be silent.

Did people complain about the geese making too much noise? I personnally loved the geese flying over head and calling, sounds like home to me. I would really like them to put geese back to how they were, or give people the option to turn it back the way it was. It's like geese are super silent now and you can't hear them unless they are right beside you... that's not realistic at all. It was fine the way it was before.

Not hearing geese when goose hunting makes me not want to hunt geese at all. It took the fun right out of it.

[Pickled Penguin]

I agree fully Jao. I haven't hunted geese since this patch now due to the fact that I have NO idea where they are coming from now or if there are even any close. They've pretty much subjected us to calling constantly and hoping you see birds come in. A big part of goose hunting should be audible. You should be able to hear geese well before you can even see them. I find this a bit ridiculous and the devs really killed the DLC for me. I really hope they can change it back to how it was before, I'm losing interest in this game due to the amount of flaws and bugs now.

The geese were loud as hell earlier, so a lot of people, including me complained about it. And they passed by every minute too.

I'm glad they adjusted the geese, but I must admit that they're a tad too low now. Gotta keep my eyes on the sky not to miss a flock.

They were not too loud, they sounded great. Have you ever heard geese in the wild? They are loud and you can hear them from 100's of yards away flying. All you people complaining about geese got the devs to ruin the game for the rest of us who liked it just the way it was, now goose hunting is bland and uninteresting. I don't enjoy sitting in a blind hitting my goose call hoping to see geese, I want to hear them just like real hunting. Even when I do see them... I still can't hear them, they have to literally be within 50 yards for me to hear them. That is ridiculous.

Devs need to change it back to how it was and give people an option to toggle off goose sounds in the game if they don't want to hear geese.
