Elrey.5472 Posted February 28, 2022 Share Posted February 28, 2022 Does it affect only the first one, or all cinematics? I had this bug on first one and I don't want to continue to not miss the story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoagie.3724 Posted February 28, 2022 Author Share Posted February 28, 2022 For me, it was fine on the first scene but subsequent scenes the voiceover was cut off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nitsirk.2357 Posted February 28, 2022 Share Posted February 28, 2022 It was only the first one for me, the rest so far has worked fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luthan.5236 Posted February 28, 2022 Share Posted February 28, 2022 (edited) For me only one half of a line at the beginning was missing - if you are talking about the cutscene that appears right after starting the EoD story from the button in the story journal. My guess (since I hadn't fully waited for the download to finish but started after it was "playable" but already progressed a bit further after that point in the launcher): "Playable" doesn't need the voice over. (Considers subtitles enough and therefore also doesn't make you wait while ingame ... and just directly starts the cutscene without trying to download more first.)

Nitsirk.2357 Posted February 28, 2022 Share Posted February 28, 2022 I had downloaded the entire patch before starting the game. Still had the voice issue. Land line fiber, heh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please also fix the story disconnect at the end of the Aetherblade mission when we strand on the shore. It disconnects me everytime, I cannot proceed to Cantha. 😞 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

obastable.5231 Posted February 28, 2022 Share Posted February 28, 2022 On the audio settings tab there's a slider for audio quality - "Fastest" being one extreme and "Highest Quality" being the other. This does affect dialogue, and if it's all the way on "fastest" you'll miss pieces all over the place, including cut scenes and quest dialogue. I don't know if that's intentional or oversight but if you want to always hear all the quest and cut scene dialogue that slider has to be all the way over to "highest quality". Personally I think it's a design oversight for the slider to cut out quest and cutscene dialogue but if the systems don't allow for them to be separated or controlled by their own setting then it is what it is.

hoagie.3724 Posted February 28, 2022 Author Share Posted February 28, 2022 Not the problem in this case as my slider is set to Highest Quality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, there is definitely a bug - I didn't experience it (my audio cut out during one scene and I remembered to flip my slider over - no more issues for me), but my partner did on their play through & they had already made sure their audio was enabled to highest quality.

Epyon.7436 Posted February 28, 2022 Share Posted February 28, 2022 The bug persists until Kaineng, stopped my game time today until this is fixed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Natanoid.9648 Posted March 1, 2022 Share Posted March 1, 2022 Hey guys, just to let everyone know, this is a bug related to 7.1 surround sound, in my case, I have a hyperx cloud stinger and I just deactivated the 7.1 mode on the Ngenuity software and everything works fine. I remember having this bug playing forza horizon 4 and 5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donari.5237 Posted March 1, 2022 Share Posted March 1, 2022 I'm just on simple stereo sound and I had a lot of Spoiler Taimi 's lines cutting out in the first cinematic. I didn't notice it happening after that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Natanoid.9648 Posted March 1, 2022 Share Posted March 1, 2022 Indeed, on the first cinematic the problem is different. But on the rest of the story, if you dont hear the voices, just turn off the 7.1 mode. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoagie.3724 Posted March 1, 2022 Author Share Posted March 1, 2022 I do not have 7.1 sound so still a bug. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adzekul.3104 Posted March 1, 2022 Share Posted March 1, 2022 I started the story this morning (8:45 CET -- Germany) after the patch last night. The voice-over still breaks in 2 places. Thought you might want to know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kelly.7019 Posted March 1, 2022 Share Posted March 1, 2022 Currently on "Fallout" and I've been noticing that the dialogue doesn't always play/ can be heard. In the first couple chapters "Convergence" & "Old Friends" I noticed with the 2nd half of sentences the audio cut out. Even after logging completely out of the game and back in, doesn't fix this. It's another minor issue to take a look at. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moonsugar.4793 Posted March 5, 2022 Share Posted March 5, 2022 Been happening to me since day one of the xpac. I've tried changing the audio settings but nothing fixes it. I've had to swing my camera around to hear NPCs that are present - have to angle it in front of them. If they are speaking over the "com" like in the story they are barely heard or not at all. At times I've missed whole segments of dialogue because I was busy moving around or distracted by events so I can't stop to read or discern what's being said. I'm at a loss. Am very disappointed.
