Ambient sound issue - after the new patch

Post » Wed Mar 30, 2011 12:24 am

After the new patch installed I've start to encounter weird sound bugs.

Here's the bug:

When I walk in Mojave I hear outdoor sound ambients (crickets, winds, thunders etc.) Everything's OK...but now it is the interesting part. When I enter a shelter/cottage/hotel etc, I still hear the outdoor ambient sounds (crickets mostly). But this issue happens randomly...

I really don't know what to say, but I swear I've never had this bug till the new patch has arrived.

If anyone have any ideas, please respond at once :)

I've also started getting this occasionally since the last patch. Not sure what's going on exactly. It's especially notable sometimes when those little "violin music stingers" that you sometimes hear out in the wastes play in interior levels.

Not sure what's causing it. Most of the time it's not an issue, but occasionally the soundscape in interiors can sound really "crowded" and annoying due to how much sound is playing at once.

Thank God I'm not the only with this issue...luckly is I backup the game files every week on a flash disk and now I'm running on the old patch (disabled auto update steam)...

The most annoying thing is that in the sewers I was hearin' wasteland outdoor sounds...

I realy dunno what can cause such a strange bug. I've tryied to look with the FNVedit but no succes. Let's hope the next patch will fix this :)

I did hear some crickets in a cave while playin last night. Didnt think anything of it (thought it might be a mod i am using). I think nevada skies sort of does this for thunder/rain and wind(?) anyway.
The crickets thing didnt bother me. I wonder if some outside night only sounds are leaking into the interiors or maybe weather too not sure. Are you using any mods zomb_killer?

Yeah... I have currently enabled 70+ mods, and I thought the mods were causin' this bug. I've disabled most of em and kept only DeadMoney.esm and HonestHearts.esm. Still the issue occur. I've replaced the exe with the old one (pre last patch) and the issue was gone...

And about the crickets don't bother me too, but in a casino to hear crickets is a bit strange. BTW, the ambients sound in Camp McCarran dosen't work either...only wind plays inside the airport.

I really don't know what the last patch broke in the game's audio system but the issue seems a bit serious to me...Hope Obsidian Entertainment/Bethesda Softworks will take in consideration this and fix it in the next patch...

I've heard Obsidian and Bethesda are working on fix for Honest Hearts/New Patch.

Hope they will fix the ambient sound issue.
