Stormwalker Posted July 21, 2022 Posted July 21, 2022 I am still more excited for the sound stacking fix than everything else put together, because it means I will actually be able to join teams again! This is not to say I am not pretty excited about some of the other stuff, because there is some very cool stuff here. But the sound stacking fix is game-changing for me. 1 1

My good computer decided to die, so I'm running on a 2012 Dell laptop. Something about wine not dealing well horks sound to a horrific degree where I need to just turn off the volume. I don't like playing without sound.

Isn't there a mod for that yet? oO seems like it would be easy to just copy a silent ogg file over and over ... and over... and... omg there are so many sound files. In my case, I like the game sounds anyway, so I prefer to have the sound on. The problem for me is the sudden volume spikes from the sound stacking problem set off some aural sensitivity issues which makes teaming (where this iis a constantly repeated event since there are always AoE's being thrown around)... kind of difficult. But since it's fixed in Page 4, I won't NEED to try to play without sound anymore, nor will I have to make up polite excuses why I can't accept that team invite someone threw my way. Can't go live soon enough.
Herotu Posted July 21, 2022 Posted July 21, 2022 IMHO of all the aspects of the game, the audio has aged the worst. Some of the audio is fine, but things like teletrans (teleport), demons, looping fire toggle, looping spines toggle, etc just have to be re-educated changed. The latter two are high on my to-mod list. ..It only takes one Beanbag fan saying that they JRANGER it for the devs to revert it.

Trike Posted August 2, 2022 Posted August 2, 2022 On 7/21/2022 at 6:48 PM, Krimson said: I play without sound all the time and only turn it up when there is glowies. I ripped all the music from the game a decade ago, so I can listen to that when I want. I also play mostly soundless. I don’t find that the audio adds much to the game in most instances, although I have always appreciated the fact that footfalls vary depending on the surface, a detail few games include. The various sound glitches while teaming can be aggravating, and as others have said, some sounds are just unpleasant. So hearing those constantly, and often overlapping with multiple toons with the same powers, can lead to migraines.
