Stuttering, desynced audio and effects appearing wrong

[Dr McJesus]

Hey,

So for some reason the game, in both cutscenes and gameplay, constantly stutters. This causes the audio to desync; in the opening cutscene by about twenty seconds by the end of it! Also, for some reason some of the effects, like the glow around vince and voodo powers, aren't appearing correctly around models; instead appearing to the left of them.

Thanks in advance for any help you can provide :)

Hi -- We've had a few reports about audio streaming issues, especially in the cutscenes. Can you share details about your system? It would help us narrow down what might be causing the problem.

[Dr McJesus]

Thanks for the prompt reply :)

Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-3570K CPU @ 3.40GHz
RAM: 8GB
Graphics: AMD Radeon R9 200
OS: Windows 7 64-bit

Let me know if there's anything else you need!

I've noticed that pausing the game during cutscenes will cause the audio to lose sync as well.

Thanks for the details and info -- And sorry about any annoyance or inconvenience this is causing. We're working on a fix for the audio streaming issues we've been hearing about from some players. We should be testing a fix in the next day or two.

Thank you! :)

Also, any insight into the effects appearing incorrectly as I also mentioned? I can get some screenshots if that would help

[BeepGames]

Screenshots would be awesome. We've made some progress on the audio side but the effects issue is a new one to us!

[Dr McJesus]

Hi, so I've been unable to replicate the effect bug now that I actually have to take a screenshot of it :P It happened once but the effect was so detached from the voodoo power I couldn't actually look at it with the camera nor a screenshot and now it's working as normal. I guess it's fixed itself for now, but if it happens again I'll gladly grab a few screenshots.

Actually, just found one I took yesterday - hopefully this link works :)

The audio is still an issue for me :(

[BeepGames]

Is the audio stuttering issue still happening for folks here? We updated some of our audio code recently and were wondering if there has been any improvement.

[Dr McJesus]

Hey :)

So I don't think it's the audio that's the problem, I think it's the stuttering of the game that's causing it to lag behind the audio. At least, that's what appears to be happening for me.

[Dr McJesus]

Hi :)

So I'm still encountering the stuttering even after the recent update

[BeepGames]

Thanks for letting us know! The audio sync/stutter that persists on some rigs is still under investigation. Sorry for any inconvenience.

[Dr McJesus]

Thanks so much for continuing to do your best guys, I hope you figure out the problem soon! :)
