Upheaval: Sound Bug

Bug Reports
1

Happened when using Upheaval and Warcry at the sametime in a big group. Now it persists just using upheaval in big groups. Sound is clipping a lot.

I can restart my game. but it is returning.

Weā€™re aware of this bug, weā€™ve been able to mitigate it but are still looking into it. Could you record a video clip of it happening, if possible?

The sound may recover after a while of playing, but restarting the game will fix it for the time being.

I just saw this happen on BigDuckā€™s stream. It doesnā€™t look like he used Warcry when it happened but I canā€™t say for sure.


Go to 2h 21m on this VOD.

yeah, looks like its just happening with upheaval usage. Iā€™ll try to get a video clip of the next time it happens.

Here is a clip of it happening - ignore my friends league of legends talk lol

Yeah same is happening to me.

Having the same issue, it started when I converted upheaval to totems.

Same issue for me, mainly when I ā€œspamā€ Upheaval.

Hereā€™s a thread from Reddit with an additional video clip.

I donā€™t believe this is related to just upheaval, but a problem with sound in the game in general.
I have the same sound clipping issues quite often when playing a mage:

Starts happening during the boss fight, and happens intermittently throughout the remainder of the video. (Forgive me for my poor play, itā€™s my first character.)

Yup. Weā€™re very aware and are working on it.

In hopes of it getting fixed alongside the upheaval - the exact same sound bug happens with Volcanic Orb. Works fine the first 3-5 minutes of gameplay and then it starts stuttering/clipping like crazy to the point where it makes other abilities do it aswell until itā€™s just a clown fiesta of laggy sounds.

Our next hotfix will hopefully address this as well.

For more info on the sound bug. For me, it was area-related, then continued throughout the session with cutting in and out at various degrees depending on activity. All skills, mobs, and minions had issues.

Attached is an image of where the sound issue started then continued until I got through the mastery at the end of time.

We have a potential fix for this in 0.8.4c, let us know if youā€™re still having this problem.

16

Havenā€™t played Upheaval yet, but the sound problem has started from using Warpath after patching to 8.4c.

17

Unfortunately, the bug is still persisting for me.

Running Werebear with Tremor Slam (Maul + Upheaval), have Upheaval specced

Thanks. We have another fix to try, but itā€™ll need some more testing internally first.

8.4c seems to have fixed the issue for me for a self cast upheaval (at least from the limited interactions I had with it) but Iā€™m using the totem variant which still causes the issue.

Yep still getting it as well. I feel like it is worse when I have 10 squirrels using icebite for what its worth
