I'm unable to hear the Phaser Ground Weapon sound effects after today's update. I tested out the other energy weapons; so far Plasma, Disruptor, Polaron, Tetryon, and Antiproton energy sounds are unaffected. Seems to be just Phasers affected.

    All Phaser Ground weapons.

    *Edit:
    Correction: after playing around with other Phaser weapons (with the exception of rep weapons) there are only 4 Phaser weapons that do not seem affected. Since I don't have access to lock-box weaponry, I'll simply post the phaser ground weapons affected individually (the ones available to me):
    -Phaser Stun Pistol (standard)
    -Phaser Wide-Beam Pistol (standard)
    -Phaser Compression Pistol (standard)
    -Phaser Dual Pistols (standard)
    -Phaser Full-Auto Rifle (standard)
    -Phaser Pulsewave Assault Rifle (standard)
    -Phaser Split-Beam Rifle (standard)
    -Phaser High-Density Beam Rifle (standard)
    -Phaser Sniper Rifle (standard)
    -Phaser Assault Minigun (standard)
    -Phaser Blast Assault (standard)
    -Federation Type 1 Phaser (Stun) (TOS)
    -Federation Type 1 Phaser (Wide) (TOS)
    -Federation Type 2 Phaser (Stun) (TOS)
    -Federation Type 2 Phaser (Wide) (TOS)
    -Federation Type 3 Phaser Rifle (Sniper) (TOS)
    -Federation Type 3 Phaser Rifle (Nadion Burst) (TOS)
    -Phaser Pulsewave Assault (DSC)

    The 4 that do not seem affected (on my end) are:
    -Phaser Stun Pistol (DSC)
    -Phaser Wide-Bolt Pistol (DSC)
    -Phaser Full-Auto Rifle (DSC)
    -Phaser Sniper Rifle (DSC)

    hello.

    seemed to notice an issue after the Event Campaign patch. I checked in with over 10 players and we confirm to all be having the same issue which is no firing sounds for the High Density Beam Rifle Type 3, Agony Phaser Ground Weapons, Phase pistol, Mr. Vups Pistol and the 2399 rifles. We only noticed it with these weapon types, but I am sure others may be affected without my knowledge. more progress on this bug would be acceptable.

    Live Long & Prosper

    I'm seeing the same bug as well and I have been doing some testing with all Phaser weapons that I have in my inventory. Most stock 23c weapons are affected, some lobi weapons are affected too but the lobi S31 pistol isn't, all 32c weapons, Lobi M.A.C.O Rifle, Bajor weapons, and a few reputation weapons are affected, the kelvin timeline weapons are not affected.

    I think I saw that thread. I had intended to link this bug thread on your reddit thread (I just never got around to it).

    *Update:
    Another sound effect that is missing is the TOS Tricorder scanning sound (V key input) where you scan for objectives or resources (ground stages).

    I was playing on Nimbus III and every time I would fire my characters phaser rifle or my bridge officers fired their phaser rifles the phaser fire sound effects would be silent. I am not sure if this is effecting all maps or all phaser weapons but so far I have tested the 24th century phaser rifle and a standard mk 12 phaser full-auto rifle on Nimbus III across two characters and they both failed to play the phaser firing sounds when fired. I also tested my characters phaser weapons on another mission map (Stranded in Space on the ground) to see if the bug was weapon and map specific and all my characters phaser weapons had no sound, I tested a type 1 phaser pistol, a compression phaser rifle, a 24th century phaser rifle, and an elite fleet phaser high density beam rifle and every time, no matter which phaser weapon I had equipped the phaser firing sound was missing when the phaser fired. I even tried swapping weapons while on the same map to see if that would work to no avail. Please fix this, thank you.

    I'm also seeing this issue. Can confirm it with the new Safe Galaxy weapons and the Portable Phaser Cannon Special Edition so far.

    Can also confirm - No audio on "Federation Type 2 Phaser" (TOS stun phaser) and "Advanced Fleet Federation Phaser Split Beam Rifle" (TOS phaser rifle).

    (edit) - Probably not worth its own post, but I've also found that my 23c character's scan / tricorder sound is missing.

    Can everyone who had this bug check the affected weapons? It seems to be fixed for me, I want to know if anyone else is hearing this.

    The ones I listed seem to be working fine now. Strange that this wasn't listed in the patch notes for today.
  • jameswilliejameswillie Member Posts: 151 Arc User
    Seems to be working on mine as well. Wasn't expecting it as it wasn't in the patch notes so pleasant surprise to hear pew pew once again.
