Sound bug makes killer borderline unplayable
Just had a game on Midwich. Passed by several gens on the opposite side of a wall that got done only moments later that made ZERO noise when I was patrolling. This in turn caused me to face check every single gen which wasted a ton of time. Don't even get me started on survivors making zero sound.
It's not just the map or the ambience either; I've been able to hear generators through the same walls before and even through walls/floors on other maps such as the Game. Sound will either work or it won't; it seems to be quite random at this point.
Are we going to have to wait months for this to get fixed? It makes ######### severely unfair on the killer's end because you are denied a ton of info that you need. If I can't hear the generators I assume they either aren't being worked on or aren't even on at all, which is info that this bug completely voids. So this leads to face checking every gen which will cause you to just lose very precious time better spent elsewhere, since survivors could be working on gens on the other side of the map without you knowing until the gens pop, and by that point it's already too late.

If this bug was in reverse. No sound for survivors. It would have been patched by now.

It's very possible, but I won't deny that there are some survivor bugs which also severely impact their gameplay as well. However in this case sound is as important, if not MORE important than visuals for the killer. I'm really hoping it's not low on their priority list of things to fix.

As a Spirit main, I picked up on the sound bugs right away, and it baffles me because they make a killer that revolves around sound, but they don't address sound bugs. Especially the fact that BHVR is well aware that sound is crucial for killers!
Facts! BHVR is quick to fix bugs that invoices survivors!

Some people will say the devs treat both sides equally. I call bullshit. I remember DS was broken one patch and it got fixed in like 4 days. I'm still waiting on the bug fixes for nurse since her rework almost a year ago.

Sound issues are getting worse and worse. What are they doing.

I cannot stress how many chases I’ve just completely lost as a killer because the survivor stopped making noise. Hearing is 100% more important than sight since there’s all the line of sight blockers and good survivors know how to use them. It’s been extremely frustrating the last week.

I haven't noticed any sound issues on the Switch. How do we have the best version of the game? 😛
