*Pop*: Goodbye sound and hello invisible enemies.

Post » Wed May 18, 2011 11:18 pm

Hello all.

I've been experiencing this irritating situation very frequently the last few days. Between maps, after I've hit "ready" but before spawn, I know I'm going to have to reconnect to the server. How?
It fails to ready me up when someone quits the cutscene and I'll enter the game by clicking manually. I know that in less than 30 seconds, I'm going to hear a little *pop* sound and then nothing. No sound at all. Oh, and my opponents are all invisible.

If the game readies me during the cutscene, it's all good. If not, I have to restart. This is starting to get very frustrating, anyone had the same issue?
Apologies if my above description is unclear, it is awkward to explain exactly how this happens.

i find the ready up kinda buggy. sometimes it counts down twice. sometimes i press to skip the intros yet im still in the 2nd wave....

i also get invisible enemies and sound drops. the pops happen sometimes too. what soundcard do you have? are you using EAX?

I had invisible enemies once or twice since the last patch. DIdn't know it's connected to the ready-up feature, though.

I'm using my onboard ASUS, that's all I know.
Hm-hmm. Glad to know I'm not the only one though.

It appears ALOT of people are having these problems with sound dissapearing and invisible enemies. Me too, and its irritating.

Ive also sometimes seen a teammate go invisible but usually the name tag still hangs above him so it doesnt bother as much.

If the scoreboards have trouble loading AI players, there is going to be a problem. It never fails; I get the pop sound followed by complete silence and then I notice my entire team firing at enemies I cant even see.
