sound effects on permanent repeat

(AssortedStuff) #1

Not a new bug but have been experiencing this lately.
From time to time a sound effect gets ‘stuck’ on permanent repeat. Usually from another merc, not mine.
It plays constantly, non stop. Sometimes it stops after a while, but sometimes it stays until the end of the match.

The sounds I can remember from the top of my head (because I haven’t been writing these down):

  • the defibrillator sound (electric ‘fizzle’)
  • spinning up of Rhino’s machine gun
  • the sound of the EV’s machine gun firing (this one happened just now hence why I’m posting this)

After all these patches, this is an issue which not has been fixed. It’s a fairly annoying one as well, but I think other issues have way higher priority at the moment.

I notice this is more likely to occur if you die whilst the sound is playing, is this the case for you guys also, or have you found any other causes?

this. when I get killed and the sound is played, the sounds get stuck.

Can confirm this.

I’ve had the ‘defib crackle’ a few times. My theory is that its when a medic tries to revive me but I’ve been gibbed during the revive. The sound does eventually stop.

it also happens if you watch a medic from 1st person, and they try to revive somebody else.
