Tank sounds and ambient noises have gone missing in the new patch

[ShampooX]

Hello Devs.  A number of us tankers have noticed that since the Mosquito update many of the tank sounds have gone missing.  For example, when in the gunner position, the sounds of the turret traversing, the ammo loading and the ambient outside noises are all totally silent.  You can hear the engine start up and then all the noises seem to come back but as soon as the engine is shut off the sounds goes away.  In the commander hatch for example, with the engine shut off, you no longer hear the wind, the dogs, or the sounds of distant planes, tanks or gunfire.  Only planes that are right on top of you can be heard, and then the engine noise abruptly cuts out once the plane gets only a short distance away.  I tried to take a video of it, but upon playback, all the missing sounds were in the video......so thats no help.  You  just have to play it and see.  It's been reported on the MP servers and SP as well.  Seems to be happening to everyone so I don't think it's my system.  Thanks.

The sounds are there for me, but they are very quiet.

Same issue here. Logged onto the Finnish server. I could not hear the startup sounds of my t34. Once the engine was started the sounds were there. Opened commander's hatch. Heard a plane flying over, it was loud so it must have been close, but suddenly it stopped. Shut tank off and it was so quiet I thought I had gone deaf. Restarted tank and all the sounds started up. Shut engine off and dead silence. Please fix this.

well just an update.  logged on to FVP late tonight and had full tank sounds for about the first 5 minutes.  Then back to "deaf" status.

This is my exact experience as well.  Major sound problem with the new patch.

 

Also I’ve noticed with the engine off you can no longer hear the pzIV traverse the turret laterally (horizontally), but for some reason I can hear it when I move it vertically. It makes a slightly different sound.

 

But my experience with the planes flying over - one moment there is no noise then the next minute it’s right above me - is really killing the immersion.

 

Definitely needs another hot fix to restore the sound issues back to how they were before.

Today's rev c hotfix resolved the sound volume issues for me.

Thanks again to the Dev’s for fixing this so quickly.  The sound seems even better than before! Might be my imagination but thanks again all the same.

 

Great Work!
