Summary: Left 4 Dead 2 Sound Drop Product: Wine Version: 1.2-rc6 Platform: x86-64 OS/Version: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: major Priority: P1 Component: -unknown AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org ReportedBy: tumpster84@gmail.com
The sound drop is likelier to happen when you either rescued (by incap or fall) or you rescue someone else. You expect the rescue sound to play, but it doesn't, and then most sounds don't play. This or after you rescue someone parts of the sound will drop, i.e. you can hear a gun firing but rain drops and voices cannot be heard.There are other instances where this also occurs (like luck), but the rescue one is the most reliable one to reproduce. Maps like the Passing and Dark Carnival, and game types like realism have a higher chance as well. I have not noticed any trends on weapons (melee or guns) and items, or characters (survivors or infected).
If you turn on captions and play the game, you expect to see readable words. When the sound problems occur, you'll see garbage appear in the captions whenever a sound event happens. You could play with the sound drop until: - you get kicked off the server (even your own) and get the Server not able to authenticate message - there is a round change, then the game "breaks", and you'll have to kill left4dead2.exe and/or crashes back to desktop. - you take the initiative, quit, and restart the game before the first two happen
