Oh, Been like this since Release. - was quite surprised no-one else picked it up sooner.

 

[rhaak]

Yep, still the same bug, still no fix :-(

 

[rhaak]

And it has been posted before: https://forum.paradoxplaza.com/forum/index.php?threads/battletech-no-mechwarrior-chatter.1093202/

And still no reaction from the devs.....,

 

[rhaak]

This is a really annoying bug and I hope it will get fixed.

See ? This bug report is just being ignored....

There's rarely an immediate response to bug reports unless more information is needed or there's an existing workaround.

*Sticks head in* no replys yet... See you in a week lad's.

I don't want an immediate reply, but some reply about progress on this bug would be great. Surely this bug can't be that hard to track down..

That's what I meant. There's almost never a response like that. There's usually nothing said until it gets patched.

More communication would be awesome, but that's just not how they've handled bugs since launch.

The Dev are no doubt aware of this since this thread exists, but that doesn't mean they will respond. Please don't bump.

After I restarted a mission that ended badly for me, i no longer have mechwarrior chatter or even some of the voice overs. I even think that the sound effects are missing in a few, normally heard, times.

200+ hours in the game & this is the first time that a problem was not resolved by simply restarting the game or even my computer.

Are you running sound in a configuration other than default stereo (like surround sound as mention in the OP)? If not this would be a different issue, and probably deserves its own thread.

Everything is in its default config as it has been since I started playing the game. I will move this conversation to a new thread as you suggest.

Well, perhaps my situation falls under the category of "operator malfunction."

As I began following the forums video about the complicated uninstall of BT, I discovered that my Logitech 5.1 speaker system had the "matrix" mode engaged on the volume controller.

This mode is meant to "create 5.1 surround sound from 2 channel sources." When engaged, the "matrix" mode shuts down or shuts out all mechwarrior chatter.

While in game, I played with this mode and noted that chatter was restored when the mode was off.

For three damn days I have researched & messed with this problem only solve it with the touch of a button...literally. *oh the shame*

 

[rhaak]

Nice for you. Problem is, this is the only game where I have this problem. All other games work fine with my 5.1 setup.

I noticed Quill18 also has this problem: this is from his stream last monday: https://clips.twitch.tv/MoistAffluentChimpanzeeKeepo

Same problem here with a 7.1 config, but sometimes I can hear some specific chatters. No other workaround that go on stereo?
