Closed - Different weapon sounds

[Gearhart 1st MRB]

This is not really an issue which is why I didn't fill out a form but randomly the mg42 or the 30 cal. sound different as if it has a different sound file. But I have never used different sound files with this computer or skins on this computer. I only use Insane's custom hud+gui.

Just seeing if anyone knows why this is happening. They will sound different then revert to the original sound.

Verify cache or try a fresh install. DOD:S is a small game, I'm sure that won't take long.

To verify, when you claim it to "randomly change", this does not mean it is changing sounds mid-fire, but on a location-to-location or map-to-map basis, correct?

If so, this has to do with how the source engine plays sounds. It happens with other weapons as well in certain locations. Depending on the composition and layout of different maps, the sound for gunfire is modified. The exact details, I do not know, but for example, a 30 cal. firing in a tunnel sounds differently in-game than a 30 cal. firing in an open street. Gunfire heard from across the map sounds very different than gunfire right next to you. There are multiple different examples of where this can be seen, though you can be sure that this is an intentional feature.

If not, verifying your game cache would be a good place to start.

i first noticed it on jagd someone was ramboing with it and it sounded like a custom sound file rather than the original and you could clearly tell the difference between the original and the sound i was hearing.

i quit playing the game for a bit then i rejoined and the gun was normal.

this has happened a few times before in the past continues thru a whole map but i dont recall if it fixed its self afterwards

Have you been on Camp Pendleton lately? That map has custom MG sounds but they normally revert when you go back to stock maps.
