Why the fuck is my hatchback louder than a helicopter!?

[cheesyrooster 20]

like seriously wtf. 

[Pledge 2293]

It's not actually louder from the outside, just seems like it to the drivers.

[cheesyrooster 20]

it is louder before I couldn't hear an idle hatchback from 150m. can't even walk around any towns without earplugs fully inserted. I have been shot in the ass 3 times because I didn't hear engagement.

May I suggest you turn your "Effects" volume down and increase "VON" (In game voice).

That way you'll be able to hear other far better!

 

For my personal settings, I have "Effects" down to about 10-20%.

Do sound effects not affect gunfire?  Not sure why I should sacrifice the ability to hear footsteps/gunfire just because some scat wants to hear a hatchback sneaking up on them at a pro

It does, but gunfire is very distinct compared to a low hum from a Hatchback.

[cheesyrooster 20]

so essentially I am making them sound the way they did previously. with the exception of not being able to hear gunfire or footsteps as well from a distance.  why not just not fuck with something that isn't broken.

They do.

Louder vehicles came in a Bohemia update, not sure if there is anything Olympus could even do about it.

Honestly, just put your earplugs in all the way in Kavala, take them out when you need to hear. If you can't hear anything with earplugs in, might be time to turn your volume down a bit.

Pretty sure Direct Chat volume relies on efffect volume, not sure though.

Imagine complaining when you can just turn the engine off. 4Head

VON will only affect vehicle and group chat.  Direct chat is controlled by the effects slider cause Arma.

I agree though the sound of engines is incredibly annoying,  I've resorted to deleting vehicles that people leave on ^_^

The offroad pick up trucks are even worse.

in this game, direct chat counts as "effects". Earplugs however, turn down all the other effects and leaves the direct chat volume up. VON is only for group chat and vehicle chat and so on
