Audio popping issue

[Timidity]

It really doesn't completely fix the sound, I do not know if a single person said the sound was fully fixed with immerse trash. The only thing that mostly mattered to me, the fix, was that combat was actually playable having had reduced the stutter with it by a lot. By all means i'll say once more, it ain't a fix buddy.

I love how all the selfish folks tell others to not upgrade to a modern CPU and motherboard with socket type that would support it. They clearly have an agenda. There is a high chance they don't have the cash to buy proper hardware, and it's in their best interest for people to suffer with them for as long as it takes for devs to actually notice. If you wanna stay miserable and continue relying on checking this thread every day in case someone finds a wonderful fix - that you will test out, just to get disappointed - then be my guest.
I myself, would recommend you bite the bullet so you don't have to spend God knows how long trying to resolve an issue in a vidya. Your time is more valuable than this, trust me. Good luck everyone.

I really won't have cash to buy new gear for quite some time, and even if I had, why would I waste it only for the sake of FFXIV, while all other games I care about still play well for me. What this game isn't worth of is all that money, my time I think I'm spending it well.
It seems you're high on cash so it doesn't seem to matter to you that SE screwed the game although the benchmark told us it was gonna play well.
Then well, just buy your new gear and go live your life (and if you buy it and it doesn't solve the issue as clearly it's not "old gear" fault, then buy it again until it works, it doesn't seem to matter to you), and leave us alone to be "miserable" all we want.

Spending money won't fix the problem, there are many reporting issues with modern boards, if you have a msi board overclocking helps.

Generally i stay stutter free until massive aoe and... all credits scenes...

Anyway, just playing after the patch right now, and it didn't change a thing. I just wish I knew more about cursing in English just to tell SE exactly what I wish to tell them right now.

[XenophineEX]

what sort of curses and too which situations would you like them to apply?

I have a Ryzen 5 5600x(which is 1 year old) and I still have this issue, albeit its not nearly as bad as others. Mine only occurs in the ambient sound, so setting it to 0 is a temporary solution.
Only occurs since 6.0.1. So something went clearly wrong with the sound engine when even I with an up to date PC has problems.

you fix positional audio by putting it at 100% on character and not bound to camera focus btw

at 0% it would be the opposite.

Turns out - for me - the update did nothing.

They haven't even addressed the issue at all in the Patchnotes or the Lodestone updates on the Launcher. They simply said in 6.01 they fixed it and they're going with that narrative. (If they believe hard enough maybe we'll just pretend it's fixed too??)

Since that's a thing, I will now post a new Bug-Report. I've filed on ingame too. If they're still investigating the original one, why isn't the issue on the 'Known Issues' list then?


I am done with the game for the forseeable future. I'll do my best to get the 2 months of upcoming gametime I paid for back, but from what I've read SE is very stingy with that sort of thing. Even though it's on their end and even though it's been over a month.

But I will stay active in this Forum, I will post Bug-Reports bi-weekly or so until it's fixed.

If it's on such a wide variety of PC's and even on Platform there is very little reason in upgrading your PC just to fix ONE game. The odds are: It's not your PCs fault.

This has been the most disappointing Game-(Expansion)-Release for me since the dawn of time. And I was excited for No Mans Sky.

My PC corresponds to recommended technical specifications for this game.
Starting with 6.0, you've introduced changes to audio engine that made game function improperly.
Your technical support fails to provide the solution, as well as you ignore the issue altogether as it is not listed in known issues list of latest changelog.
I find that I was sold a faulty product, your business practices questionable and demand a refund for Shadowbringers expansion.
