There’s a bug in Arc Raiders that’s causing the sound to drop out for some players—here’s how to fix it

Engaging with Arc Raiders has been a delightful experience, surpassing initial expectations. The game features a serene environment populated by robots, which has captivated the player despite initial apprehensions about skills in PvP shooters. However, there are significant audio issues, with persistent sound hiccups that disrupt gameplay, particularly problematic for a game that relies on audio cues. A potential solution suggested by the gaming community is to try playing the game on Steam to restore the immersive sound experience.

You’ll need to be careful moving around the forests of Hell Let Loose: Vietnam, as its trees will help players identify potential threats: ‘It can be very hard to understand where you’re dying from’

Realism is a key focus for the upcoming release of Hell Let Loose: Vietnam, presenting challenges similar to those faced by soldiers during the Vietnam War. The game's dense jungle environment significantly affects visibility, making it difficult for players to identify threats. The development team is committed to authenticity, with attention to detail in both visuals and sound, including historically accurate ambient noises. The transition from World War II to Vietnam is expected to influence gameplay dynamics, potentially enhancing the combat experience and distinguishing it from previous iterations of the game.
