Most Races Lip Sync Not Working

    So, I came back to EQ2 from a long hiatus from the game (10+ years) due to the hype from Varsoon TLE and a few other friends deciding to come back with me.

    Something I noticed right off the bat is that the lip sync from voice overs for almost all the races in the game doesn't work. It affects both genders of the race. Here is the list I have discovered:

    Dwarf
    Halfling
    High Elf
    Wood Elf
    Fae
    Barbarian
    Erudite
    Human
    Half Elf
    Gnome
    Arasai
    Dark Elf
    Ogre

    The below list seems to work:

    Froglok
    Kerran
    Iksar
    Sarnak
    Troll
    Ratonga

    Races not tested:
    Vah Shir
    Aerakyn
    Freeblood

    I find it interesting that Ogre doesn't work but Troll does. Also, many of the monstrous, or non humanoid, races seem to work.

    you's discovered a subtle foundational problem,...! superb attention to detail!
    der be's sooooo much potential for EQs, even in regards to Machinama, me's hopes the foundations be lookied into's.
    der be's WAYS more potential in EQ, with all its varied lands, abilities, etc. makeys RvB pale in comparison.

    I am not certain what you mean by foundational problems, but I heard that there might have been a bone rework in the game and I wonder if it broke the lip sync to VOs.

    So to be sure, when you are doing emotes, there's no voice and the mouths aren't moving? Or are you talking about talking to npcs who have voice over?

    OK I see it, yeah, my ratonga speaks and mouth moves, dwarves don't. Now I can look into it.

    Yes, in the above list I have posted, these are the ones that I found that did not sync at all.

    Also, ttobey, this is BOTH situations. NPCs, emotes, EVERYTHING with a voice over. The above posted list did not have any animating mouths.

    Iksar seems not to work on Varsoon.
  15. Zyllos Member


    Really? I tested it on my machine and Iksar seemed to work fine.

    QA will go through them all.
