Xbox Series X Audio Popping Still

Ngl this gives the 47 the run for money lol

 

You're right there!

Don't worry about the audio problems, just so long as some of the lifts are working priorities and all.

 

It would be funny, if not for the fact that improved audio (for xbox) was a supposed improvement of tsw 5.

 

Yeah I found the lifts at Queen street don't work

 

O dear, it gets worse

 

Just found a video on YT of the 153 on Xbox series x. The audio popping sound in the cab is constant. Sounds awful.

 

Here is a link to the video (not my video) how on earth this audio passed any kind of QA

 

Is it on the 150 too? or just the 153?

 

DTG Jamie any news to share at all? New content is still being released with the same issue.

 

Just 153

 

That's really weird. I mean it's good that it doesn't affect both. But I wonder what was done differently to the 153.

 

Playing class 43 after todays update on Xbox Series X popping sound still happening with that train.

 

What I find confusing, is that Xbox owners had to put up with terrible machine gun sounding audio glitches for the longest time, this was excused as being the way Unreal handles audio differently on Xbox compared to all the other platforms - an odd claim, given that I haven't had audio issues in the numerous other Unreal Engine powered games I've played on Xbox.

Then a different kind of audio issue rears its ugly head in TSW5, and again it is Xbox only, but what's the excuse this time?

Unreal, or DTG?

 

I believe the reason/excuse given now, is Unreal again. Xbox handles the audio differently.

Much like the Zfighting, that's all xbox's fault too.

 

Here we are, here's a clip from the roadmap.

What ever was changed for tsw 5 to improve the audio, can't they just role it back. Much less popping in tsw 4.

 

Who knows, that might even help with the audio squelching we also have on PC. Again, it never did that before TSW5. Sadly I begin to despair that DTG have anyone on staff capable of understanding and working with the game engine they chose for TSW o do anything with it.

 

From what I remember, TSW has always had audio problems in some form on another.

Remember the early days of bad audio occlusion? Where the outside sound would stay when inside the cab. They did solve that mind you, so maybe there is some hope.

 

Yes it has always been an issue but previously the stuttering did not cause quite such a marked distortion of the sound. I remember when London Commuter first came out and was mega stuttery. The sound tended to drop rather than squelch when that occurred. Still annoying but not to the extent it is now. I’m not sure what changes have evolved - maybe how sound links to Simugraph - to make it so now, but needs a deep dive into the code to sort it out.

Is there any specific reason why audio popping is much worse on tsw 5, compared to previous versions?
