When I log in a character, everything is fine. When I switch to an alt however, I lose all weapon sound effects and NPC sound. Have to log out of game with the alt and log back in before I regain sound effects. Have talked to other league mates and they are having the same issues.
I hope they fix it soon, I’m holding off on checking out the new episode until they do. Having the sound cut off during a cutscene is going to kill the mood a bit. It might kill me too, if there’s any attacks or mechanics with audio cues.
Trust me, losing the audio makes the final boss of the elite duo a lot harder. Lex has an orbital strike attack that essentially one shots you, and having no audio combined with the fact the FX indicator on the ground is a very similar colour to the actual floor is a deadly combination.
You should be fine as long as you log out of the game completely to switch characters. It’s really annoying, but that at least fixes the issue for me.
Tanking with my Rage character is really annoying now. I always base my attacks on the sounds in order to avoid rage crash, now I'm playing trying to guess when to use my powers.
