Hello,
I recently started playing Siege again and I face a bug I never had before.
Every other time I stop using a drone foot steps and gun sounds are missing. A temporary fix is to go the volume settings and changing it.
After that the sound will be okay but using drone could lead to the bug accuring again.
Also sometimes the sound of someone shooting wont disappear until the round ends. For the rest of the round I will then hear rapid fire.
Does anyone else have this bugs or a solution ? This happens to me multiple times in a match and it´s really annoying.

Thank you in advandce :)

Hello!

I'm not familiar with this issue, however I'm sure we can resolve it with some troubleshooting.

Here are some steps to try -

1. Delete your game settings file (C:\Users\CurrentUser\Documents\My Games\Rainbow Six - Siege\[UPID]\) then .

If that doesn't work...

2. Follow the steps in this support article.

Please note that the second step will reset your Situations progress, loadouts and in-game settings so it's important you first back up the file.

I hope that helps!

Still I am thankfull for your quick response.
Hey deshplayer_h,

Thank you for getting back to us, I'm sorry to hear those steps didn't resolve the issue for you

Can you please tell us more as to when this starts happening? Such as;
- Does it happen more in a certain game mode?
- Is there ever a trigger (eg. after drone phase, after a certain event)?
- What audio output devices have you tried so far (speakers, headsets)?

Thank you!

After more playing I noticed a consistent which lead to one of the bugs appearing. The “rapid fire” bug mostly happens when shoots are fired in periods which I called “transitions”. A “transition” would be going from a drone/camera to pov or dying and switching from my pov to that of mate. Should someone shoot while such a “transition” happens it´s verly likely to bug out until the round ends.
Another strange occurens was a bug that caused the “distorted sound” while using a drone not to vanish, it´s rather the opposite it would replace all sounds in my game. This bug appears when my drone gets shot in the last moments of the drone phase and only is fixable by another drone getting shot while I am using it.
I am going to delete and reinstall the game on the weekend and write another post if this fixed my problems. Should this not help I have no clue what I can do other than reinstalling windows what would be a real bummer.
Hey deshplayer_h,

Thank you for getting back to us with those extra details, sorry for the delay in getting back to you!

Following your previous post, did a full game or windows reinstall lead to any changes?

The team are already investigating similar reports, however the more details we can gather the better

Thank you!
