So i can see this is almost two years old now and the issue is still happening. is there going to be a fix?

I get this as well when I use APEX chars in missions.

This issue still exists up to the day of this posting...

Yes indeed this is still an issue, AgentRev do you have a fix?

This is still here, go in game and and hit esc then click config/sounds and move the effects slider all the way to the left, all sounds go away EXCEPT wind & other ambient sounds such as birds etc. all of which stay at the same loudest volume possible. Please fix it's truly unbearable, and please don't try to tell me I can disable the ambient sounds this is not a fix for shoddy coding...

Yea, now the launcher seems to be even more problematic than before... I just went to clear up some disk space and I see this redundancy of files 14GB worth... bis maybe add a launcher-less feature and a var that says "wow, they don't want our crappy launcher? OK, here we'll go on as we have for years without it, launch game."...

Clients connecting to my wasteland server have been affected by this since the update, from my observations it seems like it's happening to clients with an intel cpu/chipset moreso than clients with AMD cpu's & chipsets. I myself use AMD cpu & chipset and do not see or have the issue reported, but many are and it drives clients away.

Having the same Issue running A3 wasteland and extdb. this is not an A3 wasteland issue this is a BIS broke something within the last update issue.
