Dovetail Games Medway Valley Line – An Update On Ps5 Audio

Hello everyone, today our team and Firefly Simulations would like to share an update regarding the PS5 audio being inaudible/lower than expected for the Medway Valley Line Add-on, and share our current progress for a solution with a timeline of what you can expect next.

As a summary, shortly after launch the team identified that some elements of the 375 audio seemed to be playing at an much lower volume than intended (~1%) on the PlayStation. It wasn’t missing entirely, but due to the low volume, it can appear as if the sounds aren’t playing.
For players on PC (Steam and Epic Games) and Xbox platforms, the audio is working as intended.

Current Progress & Timeline
The Firefly team have attempted a number of fixes since the launch last week, including a build we submitted to Sony, none of which have proven successful in addressing the problem. Due to the audio being present (despite being a lower volume), diagnosing the issue is taking longer to fully understand and rectify, particularly given other platforms are working as intended, but we wanted to share that they’re working closely with their audio technician and with the support of our team, including the executive producer Matt, to help find a solution as soon as possible.

We can’t commit to an ETA for the improvement, but the team are working hard so that this be delivered the moment we can resolve and test the fix, and we’ll work closely with Firefly to ensure we can support the update and share more news as it comes.

Dovetail Games and Firefly Simulations would like to thank all those who’ve supported the Medway Valley Line with positive and constructive feedback, and we’re grateful you those on PlayStation who are waiting patiently for the audio improvement.
