Hello,

today I have noticed that I can' hear the machine gun sounds at all when I am playing with external mp3 music. I started debugging and found out that the machine gun sounds are actually quieter than my own foot steps! Where is the logic in that? Furthermore, when I zoom out (what I usually do when fighting to make sure I wont run into something) it gets even worse. This new feature is really annoying, because when I turn up the volume to a decent level when playing zoomed out, I occasionally have to zoom in to check something and then all sounds are way too loud! Very annoying! Anyone else? What can I do to solve this?

I can swear that this issue was not present in 0.16!

I can confirm that I tested every individual sound option slider, and none had an audible effect on the submachine gun sound. Maybe could there be a slider for weapons sounds ?
I'm going to move this topic into suggestions subforum : I don't think it's an actual technical issue you're experiencing : it seems to be by design.
[Koub] Topic moved to Ideas and Suggestions.

Isn't "Ideas and Suggestions" another term for /dev/null? Am I the only one who find the obviously new sound system annoying?

Ideas and Suggestions is not > /dev/null.
And I don't remember reading anyone complaining about machinegun low sound.
There has been some discussion on :
- laser turrets sound (viewtopic.php?f=5&t=65984)
- overall sound design : viewtopic.php?f=6&t=66945
but couldn't find anything on the machine gun (and don't remember reading anything either).
