You guys can close this or stop replying because I'm giving up. There's literally no way for me to diagnose this. Reinstalling a hundred times won't change anything. Teotwawki, what if you were playing a first person shooter and you could hear everyone else's gun shooting but your own? Or what if you were playing a racing game and you heard everyone else's engine except your own? It's basically the same thing.

6 to 7 months ago when I was first getting into the private server scene I had this problem then too. The reason I chose that server to play on at the time was because I didn't have this issue there. But now that nobody plays there it's a ghost town. Nobody wants to play a MMORPG all alone in a server.

I'm outta here.
Ok, I'm done being nice ya damn idiot. Do not put words in my mouth to argue with me on the freaking internet like some random troll, when I am trying to gd help you. Your footstep sound have ZERO impact on your actual gameplay, and are not so important to immersion as being able to see your equipment on your character like you are trying to say with your overreaching comparisons to unrelated genres. See that 20 in your own pic? max simultaneous sounds, 20. If 21 try to happen, one of them is getting missed.

OH GOD I CAN'T HEAR MY TYPING! I QUIT THE FORUM!

My apologies to you. I was honestly not trying to troll! I'm not a frequent forum poster nor am I good at putting my thoughts into words correctly. I truly am sorry if I angered you as that was not my intentions at all. :( I do agree that I was being a baby about the whole thing. Again, my apologies to you guys.

I did find the issue and I'm not sure if it qualifies as a server issue or a client issue. The cause of it is the New Adventurer Status/icon (?) next to your name. I noticed just after zoning that any icon to the left of your name doesn't load right away and during that period footsteps played normally but after it loaded the sounds were, "muted", I guess is the right word. But I stuck it out to 10 to see if indeed that was the cause and it is!

Of course, I've only been inside of one server to test this. But, considering that this issue has appeared for me in a few other servers, it might be safe to assume that this is a global problem.

Apologies accepted, and I just confirmed it; The new char "?" icon mutes some sound effects, most noticeably footsteps. Haven't any idea why that would be but now we know how to reproduce. It may still be some time before its corrected.

I also apologize for losing my temper.

I can only see it being topped by a dat mod (or really good photo shopping) of a rarab with a waffle on its head.

I do believe that my kind of thought process, being OCD that is, is perfect for bug hunting, LOL! If I find anything else you bet your ass I'll hunt it down like a dog.
