The audible click/chime sound

[NickTwist]

I do not hear this chime/click sound in my game. I already got to my second generation making all the tools etc - but as hard as I try to listen I do not hear it. I hear the music - all the jungle sound. Anyone else not hearing it?

I have this same issue, but it's specifically in combat.

I've tried turning the music all the way and the effects all the way up but it's still too hard to hear by my old bad ears.

Isn't that related to the difficulty setting?

I opted for the easiest mode with maximum HUD and tutorials so I was expecting the audio cues to be extremely audible (on an aside, while video games are a visual medium, it's in the title, it isn't very accessible to those who might be hearing impaired to not provide a visual indicator as well).

Oh, then idk. I got mine clue sounds even though I chose the medium diff.

Its very frustrating - I can not even kill the snake. Kind of a game killer for me - I am sad.
(note I tried EVERYTHING to hear it - and EVERY game level. On some YouTube vids I hear it in them. I verified my file - nothing).

Even the keyboard setting for the game are a little wanky - Hold then release while using another key to aim is very alien to most games - it should be aim then press button.

Have you evolved recently? I noticed that after several generations there's some kind of a bug that makes the tribe not do certain things, like not drinking or eating when leader does, or ignoring the danger even with sticks and bones equipped. Maybe try evolving and see if that fixes it?

Tonight I learned that I was just doing it wrong.
You have to pick your direction and press and the hold the action button way faster than I was. In fact I feel like I need to be pressing the movement button before combat initiates.
I got beat up many times before I finally figured it out. If you are able to load up your weapon in time there is a chime to let you know when to release the action button.

But my issues resolution doesn't resolve the original posters issue.

Have you tried to turn the music down a bit? i have the music only on 50% or so
and do you wear headphones while playing? (makes it easier to hear)

Hi, did you find any solutions for this problem?. I have same. I can't hear the tick sound in combat (snake, tiger, warthog). Hence, I cant counterattack them as the game guided.

I have trouble with the chime in attack mode also. I think it's because often the attack is unexpected and I don't really have time to prepare for it. If I'm stalking a boar and know it's coming, it's a little easier to hear.

The chime on some actions, like sharpening a stick, is really clear.

[Joonyah]

First thing I'd recommend is turning the music Off. The chime is an odd frequency that gets lost easily.

There is a visual aspect to this cue as well. During a counterattack, your hominid will be in motion while he prepares the blow. When he stops moving, *that's the cue*. The time does vary and it's usually related to how well-positioned you are when the attack comes.

I've played this game for many hours with no audio. It makes it more difficult, but not that much harder. Crafting(sticks and tools especially) is harder than fighting. And there are times when the cue is only audio based. But for the most part in those cases, there's no penalty for missing the cue(example: khat paste). The biggest exception to this is crafting rock tools. The good news there is that the time doesn't vary, it's always about 2 seconds.

Hope that helps.

The only time I hear a chime is when lifting rocks. I have music off.

Could it be that you have to gain certain skill levels before the game makes it a bit easier for you with an audio cue ?

[Freely]

Yep, I too had to turn the music off as the 'tick' sound is so quiet you can miss it. The chime for lift-able rocks is different.

Time does vary due to the different rock you are using.

What I cant get over is how totally stupid the other AI apes are. Just had one die from the cold.

I'm finding that the AI apes are getting smarter as I evolve. I just had a group of clan members kill a panther all on their own without me even attacking. If you give them the right tools they usually know what to do with them.

I suspect if you had an ape die from the cold he must have been very close to death already. If you have a clan member bleeding and don't take care of it they can go pretty quick.
