PlaySound netmessage volume issue
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

Seems that the volume parameter for the "PlaySound" netmessage can be set to something extremely high and will override users arma 3 volume. This will cause players sound to be broken until the game is restarted. A maximum limit for volume should be put on the playsound netmessage.

@Bohemia @Dwarden @oukej Guys, this is literally destroying communities. Hackers are going around breaking the games sound on every server and its killing the player count on some communities. Please bohemia, do something right for once!
