Sound issue: no footsteps?

[garfish85]

I was perfectly still and behind cover in the boss liar and suddenly BOOM, headshot from close range (behind me). I was focusing my attention on sounds because we were fighting the boss when the boss icon became red, so the environmet was quiet enough to hear any possible movements around me. Plus I was playing with randoms, so nobody was talking or making noises. My headphones are fine, my ears as well, so I cannot explain how this happened. Is there any bug with sounds currently? I noticed in general that sounds are not as accurate as before but now not hearing footsteps sound is new to me.

I think it was the game too. The enemy hunter was MMR 3 and had 0.93 K/D. Honestly with a hack like that (if it even exists) he should have different stats, so it was a sound bug most likely. I mean, anything is possible but I can't prove it was a hack or something.

No, more like the cheaters know they'll get banned if they're MMR is too high. I've been killed by absolute wall hackers with bad K/DA most of these people cheat because they're awful at games. They're basically bots without the cheats and can't compete against people who can play games.

I've also killed plenty of these cheaters as well so I know they're trash at the game. I've killed people with no footsteps. I had sick double kill on a pair teleporters and I lost that clip when reinstalled windows on my other computer... It was funny as well I threw a sticky bomb onto the banish just as it was about to finish and I heard them running around and then footsteps stopped and all of sudden both bounties got picked up at the same time. no way they could of got there from where the footsteps came from and then the sticky blew up and killed them both...

These cheaters die alot even with the cheats..

No, just the people who cheat me can you prove that I complain that EVERYONE who kills me is a cheater... Or am I just complaining about the people who kill me who are cheating???

You cheaters always expose yourself instantly when you go in with your character assassination and fallacious arguments....

Clowns...

I'd be mad too if I had a negative KD like you.

well if your KD is achieved by cheats, guess what, you have NO KD at all :DDDD so keep on deluding yourselves :]

[Chaotic #Crytek sucks]

I dont get why its always cheaters, the simplest anwser is just buggy ♥♥♥♥ happening with the perfect cryenige... You can sometimes tsee world objects like elevators or metal doors making zero sound while you just sit there and watch them open or move. it is just bs on cryteks part

Look, there's the guy that unironically thinks Shroud is cheating and made a video "proving" it. Might have something to do with the fact he's stuck at 2-3*.

Yeah that video where shroud misses all those shots in aim labs then basically says " aiming up is hard".. LMAO... The dude was set to get 75K - 80k in grid shot which is what I get when I casually do grid shot. My high score being close to 90k.

I've proven that shroud was making up excuses because he isn't a god at fps games.. He cheats.

That aim labs of Shroud should have been memed to death with some AI DSP snippets of him saying "♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ game design making me aim that high"

Remember guys shroud misses shots in aim labs because aiming up is too hard.......

You know you're dealing with an embedded society of cheaters when he gets a free pass like that..

If I did that during aim labs I would get eviscerated by people online.. Without even having a rep of being a fps god... So how can it even be remotely acceptable when they're are supposed to be god tier ability...

Check your windows sound setting, may be there is something active to „improve“ you sound.

Hunt doesn’t seem to work well with those, or at least I prefer it in regular stereo for better accuracy.

[Evillo]

check file integrity, if that does not work sinply reinstall the game, I had it happen with footsteps not audible wile they were walking in water and checking files did not solve the issue

[Amos Moses]

I've had this happen. Some compounds soundscapes are completely borked, most notably pitching crematorium. Usually it's the underground compounds with stone walls that don't translate sound well, but I think most compounds have a place or two in them where the game just doesn't know what to do with the sound.

On a side note, I witnessed with my own eyes a player teleport the other day. Not shadow jump, they just straight up appeared next to their downed teammate in an open field. Was probably lag related, but still...

[Heartless]

There do seem to be instances where ppl, running full speed/walking/crouchwalking on mud or wood, will just stop making noise. It doesnt happen often and when it does its not everyones footsteps.(can still hear my own, teammates, their teammates)

[Daos]

the sound in this game is buggy as hell and has not been fixed like part of you team hearing crows/ horse and the other hear nothing i have even had this with explosions.

also one time i was in a house down stairs and i heard foot steps right above me but iv cleared upstairs and i know the team is in boss building but the sound was playing right above my head despite they are 20-30m away.
i use to think of this game had good sound but now, no to many sound bugs and people making no sound sometimes is messed up.
or we just have more cheaters then i would not be surprised. nothing like getting shot at 200m in a fog map though bushes. love the (anti) sorry (easy) cheat.

In some situations the no footsteps or misplaced footsteps where you the steps close to you when they somewhere else seems like a bug. But I've had this happen so many times in situations where it seems far too coincidental to be a bug. I believe it's either a cheat or some kind of animation cancel or exploit that messes up where the sound is.

In my experience with cheaters and you take that however you want... But in my experience cheaters often tip their hat and they are always so quick to tell you that footsteps are server sided and can't be manipulated. For most people this information wouldn't be readily known.. It would be probable but these people speak with knowledge they know it's server sided... A cheater with experience with how cheats work in a game or what can be manipulated in a game would know if something was server sided.. So I would suspect that maybe it's completely true the activation of footsteps being activated on or off is in fact server sided... But what about the position of the footsteps? A hacker might not be able to turn footsteps off but maybe they can alter the position of where those footsteps are coming from..

Just a thought.
