If you're experiencing this issue. Please reply to this thread with the following information.

  • which platform are you playing on? (Xbox Series S, X, PS5, PC, etc)
  • When did this issue occur first (before or after yesterday's update)?
    If on consoles: Are you using fidelty or performance mode?
  • What were you doing in the game when this issue started? Anything you noticed that could have triggered it?
  • Is this happening every match, just for some matches or x matches in a row? If recurring, are you using specific cyberlimbs? weapons?
    *** Please provide video footage if you can**. You can upload videos here directly or share links.

Sounds exactly like the too many people firing in one place big, but continuously.

it would happen to me in the main town of little kiev if there was a ton of fighting it would start to crackle and sound really stuttery but never happened on if i was out of the town and no fighting was happening

If this occurs every game, could you also share which weapons and limbs you're using.

@empty bobcat can you let me upload a 3 min video somewhere? It's a good example of it mate

Are you using fidelity/graphics or performance mode?

On PS5, it is the same distortion that earlier was only in caves in Saltie or indoors. Now every game after a while. On Performance, PS5 Pro

PS5 and PS5 Pro

Happened to me and my 2 friends yesterday several times.
We used leapers, ghost, recon, runners, paralyzer (no ripper or bouncebomber in our loadouts).
Happened 99% of the time when we got into fights and 1 time while i was inside a cave near salty doing the "find a hex mission" (it got so bad that my game froze there and i had to turn the console off and join back into the game). I doubt other players were close but can't tell for sure.
Happened almost if not in every game (i reduced volume to a bare minimum after it happened in 4-5 games in a row)

All using fidelity

Edit: it doesn't let me upload a clip here for some reason

Edit: i remember we had little sound issues sometimes (very rare) before the update but only under heavy fire but the speaker still sounded fine. Not robotic like now!

After update
I have noticed that it happens mostly end game in the jungle area and salty .
I tried to record it but unfortunately it doesn’t come thru on recording.
Also huge ping and fps drops when it happens
Played most of the morning yesterday and never had it until the end circle was in salty or jungle

I cut it down but this happens continuously throughout the game in any engagement and it does get worse, in terms of how it sounds.

  • tends to happen late game and other situations when many players are within a short radius.

Whilst they are at fixing the audio issues, ask them to fix the footsteps still occurring after you kill the enemy 👍

Please notice that it is not just a sound problem, as you can see in the video it is also a problem with frame lag.

It's the runners making the audio crack!

Seems like it mainly happens when other people are near and it gets worse when in a gun fight. Thats unplayable

It’s every time we are near a bunch of players fighting . Is it the buzz killer ? Because when I deploy it doesn’t come out or visible

Same high volume cracking is when flying through zone in aircraft in start of game. PS5 Pro

My suggestion is revert the update back please 🙏! There is no way we can play with it like this . It’s not happening on pc so even if we try to play we can’t hear them coming it’s insane how bad this is

exactly this for me too, most noticeably later in the game

I think it might be something to do with too many runners in the same area

#

Xbox series X it usually happens in the last few circles when the audio is most important. It sounds like a 1000 bombers going off and sgt cobra skips with overwhelming loud noises. This all started happening after the update. It happens every single game even after trying to completely reboot the game/system.

#

I'm going to attempt a reinstall and see if that works.

  • Happened in Saltie the first time during the final circles, second time happened near the extractor near the highway in little Keiv
  • happened in 2 random matches, using different limbs and weapons both times.

#

All games are effected and seems to start as soon as enemy player fires a weapon near you then the sounds glitches and caused lagging as well.

It goes in and out and seems to be connected to player to player contact. As soon as your squad engages another the sounds glitches.

Roll back the last update it’s as simple as that then fix it on your end so we can keep playing.

#

There is no doubt it's the update I agree it just need to be rolled back it's just not playable like this and tho it's an early access people are still paying money for this game and at this stage if this audio issue is on going your looking at 2-3 days of missed XP and that's going to leave a bad taste in people's mouths

• Xbox X

• After update

• Fidelity mode

• Limbs Leaps, paralyzer, Rippers.

• Happened on every game at the same locations.

• Sound and lagg (fps drop) started at Stork City more at the center of the places. You could notice sound getting un-sync or whatever u wanna call it. If u were far off from center of the map it seemed to be more like normal.
When moving to little Kyiv it's getting mad. And even closer to the extraction point it was GOING nuts... like the sound is completely off u couldn't hear other players were they where going u just hear crazy sound and some fps drop or whatever it was.

• What i did when this was happening was that I killed tons of players and we got winning matches. And we laughed how crazy the whole thing was and probably messed up for many solo random players.🤣

This wasn't something specific that triggered it.
Specific areas just had worse sound and all and when u moved closer to it was going crazy.

Near the end battle. Audio just went cracking.
Using Fidelity, VRR, 40 FPS, FSR 3.0
Issue appeared after the recent update.

#

Xbox series X, Performance mode. Running recon, tripMine, leapers.
Happening pretty much every match and anywhere on the map. Only started happening after the update.
I only ever jump in PUG squads, So I am mainly move around the map solo, collecting loot to respawn them, as they are often just dead or have no idea 🤷
It happens whether you are in a gunfight or are near a gun fight and not involved.
Does not happen for every gun fight, what I have noticed, is that it seems to happen more towards the end of the game, and also that they are PC clans that are engaged in the gunfire. I cannot be 100% sure on this, as it is always in the heat of the battle.

In the update, did you add any patches to enhance the sound capabilities of the PC crowd? If so, then, maybe this upgrade does not quite balance with the cross play mechanics as they stand 🍻

  • PS5, Performance, leapers, para, phos.
  • Audio has always been a bit off - if I use night mode it weirdly helps some with the footsteps.
  • after this patch I noticed the sound glitches when there are a lot of runners in the same area
  • seems to be consistent towards the end of the game when the circle brings people in tighter together
  • if you check my crash report last night, the game crashed once if not twice right after the sound glitch. I sent the report in.
  • The clips in this thread are consistent with what I am hearing as well

Hope that helps!

If it’s any help it’s been happening every so often ever since I started playing 2 months ago on any game that you get around 5/6 players shooting at eachother in a confined area. The sound has always been very static in that aspect, but now it’s just continuous no matter what you do it seems.

Before it was when there was a larger number of players shooting at the same time in a smaller area like I said. But now it doesn’t seem to matter how far away you are, the sound just becomes unbearable

# empty bobcat If you're experiencing this issue. Please reply to this thread with the followin...

-Xbox Series X

-Issue started primarily after yesterday's patch but intermittently before.

-I've used both modes but primarily performance mode.

-fighting, engagements, drone teardrop bounties, any kind of movement or action in the entire Saltie area of the map and half of stork city. Just entering the area would destroy the audio and cause screen tear and lag. (After yesterday's patch).

-Every Match so far after yesterdays patch is subject to the issue.

  • This is the only clip I had from last night in the affected area. It's not long but you can hear the Audio bugging and this is mild compared to how bad it really has been.

Sacking this game off if we can't get a simple fix for this as there is zero communication from their team.

# desert flax Sacking this game off if we can't get a simple fix for this as there is zero com...

Just play something else for a bit man. I’ve sat on the Home Screen on my phone for the past two days lmao. Feel a little lost not being able to play.

But totally agree with the communication. I don’t understand why there’s a discord and they fail to put up an announcement to say they’re aware of it and plan to get it sorted in said amount of time.

Even if it wasn’t sorted in that time, at least we’ve been made aware of something we already know about and feel like it’s been acknowledged and worked on asap

Had many games with @vague notch today and audio didn’t do it. Unless we went into little Kyiv and salty . The words little Kyiv on the map is where it starts to happen . My ping and our other teammates was 120 and we couldn’t even fly at one point . Running in place . Game crashed in third place .

Seems to happen the closer you get to salty. Gets worse as there is more action, guns and explosions. Today was the first day it got so bad the game crashed

I think the trigger is the new explosive rebound arm, when several people throw the explosive in a nearby area is usually when the audio breaks, it could be that something in the update conflicts with the arm

This audio bug happens when I get into a fight, it’s been mainly happening at salty.

I’m on PlayStation and it happens multiple times almost every game.

I had audio issues before the patch on my PC using my USB headphones. I sent a report back on January 7th or so. Not sure if these issues are related but PC is having issues too. It's still ongoing if I use my USB port. If I switch to an audio jack input it works fine. I tried uploading a video but the sound doesn't pick up for some reason. Just constant crackling even in the intro and menus.

After Update
Seems to be near the end game mostly. Very bad when is close radius of enemies similar to when the game first dropped. Also Ocio seems okay but have the map from stork down to salty is unplayable almost studder and it isn’t just audio either. It will lag cut out and kill your ears causing you to die 9 cases out of 10

Patches and hotfixes need to be tested before releasing. This patch in particular needs to be rolled back completely. The issues they fixed were minor and the issues that were caused as a result of the patch are Major. Devs are in danger of losing a large portion of the community due to game breaking issues caused from trying to fix small in-consequential issues.

#

Priorities.

If a patch that fixes the sound on a limb that hardly anyone uses ends up breaking the game for everybody it's a problem. Which is why patches and hotfixes need to be tested before release.

They at risking of losing us all I started playing COD again which is trash and I left it months ago for OTG and. Or it’s not playable. Worst part is I just renewed my battle pass.

#

😂 I’m 9 levels away from finishing it and it’s broken.

reef bobcat
#

COD runs worse than this game. I suggest you do not feed the cod machine anymore money. Even if OTG is broken Activision been lazy and complacent for years at this point. They know it's a money grab so they get lazier and lazier. OTG has huge potential. I just hope they are smarter and more tactful with their patches in the future.

  • Performance Mode
  • Happens when grid ring is close. I got it early game below high road between marshlands and Kiev extraction station at ROUND 2.
  • Worst cases require Ring Close and multiple players around (happens everywhere in late ring closes with heated fights)
  • Sound is exactly the normal grid circle sound when near but distortion / robotic and every sound, shots, voices, etc get “filtered” by that ring distortion making a chain ⛓️‍💥 flow bad to the ear.

Tried playing on all 3 platforms but it only happened on Xbox.
Xbox series X.
First time was last night 2/2/25
Kept happening towards endgame or when going near the circle rooftop in Little Kyiv.
Happened every couple games.
Noticed it happening it more when runner legs were being spammed.
After the audio started freaking out it also caused massive lag and FPS dropping too. If the Audio Glitch started it would last the rest of the game and progressively get worse.

Hey devs ! 1 issue seems seems to be a blowout or overload of audio when 1 or more person orders a loadout in the same direct vicinity . This seems to especially happen is the last few circles . It's like a static overload happening on top of all the games audio it literally stops u from hearing any in game sound fx . Cheers guys

#

Xbox , after update, during gunfight or near gunfights in high traffic areas. During every match.

#

Its not the audio that bothers me , i think the audio is just the easiest most noticable symptom of a larger problem. Audio goes first, then lag, visual tearing, all the way up to i got kicked from the game and had to reload into the same match. The game is overwhelmed by something and the audio is just the first symptom. Its the freezing, slow motion, disjointed frames , and being half inside walls or floors that are the worst

Audio is becoming desyncd off frame drop. Then audio is just broken it’s giving me a migraine playing lmfao I did 2 games went from stork to ocio was an amazing game not a single weird audio noise but as soon as my map starts rotating me into k town it’s a wrap. I’m rocking Tacoma/terikon/recon/para/RR’s once the audio bug happens you physically feel your game struggling to process it all. I’m on series x

Screen tearing ramps up, and players get disconnected from the stress of it. Kind of insane how loud it gets

Playing on xbox, I've tried both modes. Occurs every match. Happens usually around the final circle, when a lot of players are concentrated in the same area, like when too many players are near me. I feel like it's been happening before or around the time of the update but I'm not sure. It's happened to my teammates regardless of limbs.

Everyone, try staying out of the Little Kyiv area. Everytime we go anywhere near there is when the audio glitch starts and when it starts it stays there for the rest of the round.
