One player's sounds disappearing to others in MP
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

This happened to us yesterday when playing a custom MP-mission, and this is the only time it has happened to me;
One of our players' sounds disappeared to the rest of us. He kept firing his rifle etc., he could hear it himself, but the rest of us didn't hear a thing even when standing one meter from him (no silencers or anything used). We did hear the bullet hitting the ground though, but no shot.

I am not sure if the bug came in the middle of the round or if it was from the beginning, coz we didn't do any shooting at the start of the round.

No idea how to reproduce. It seemed to just happen at random.

We noticed this when playing last night, it happened after one of two things.
1:changing any gear
2:Dying

In both instances we could correct it by going to a crate and picking up and NLAW and dropping it again.
We also noted that weapons/attachments viewed on other players would change, for example.
my friend Dave goes into a crate, takes an EBR and no one can hear Dave shoot but him. Other players also saw Dave's original weapon NOT the EBR. Dave picks up and NLAW and suddenly everything updates and we see his EBR etc and we can hear him again.
