Did the newest update break the sounds of footsteps when running on mounts?

meekmiko · October 27

Or am I just crazy and hard of hearing?

There's either no footsteps or the quietest footsteps I've ever heard now for seemingly all mounts.

KapiteinBoterham · October 27

Yes, it's super annoying. Hope they fix this ASAP!

*it only happens on the heavyweight mounts for me.

KapiteinBoterham · October 27

I made a thread in the general discussion page.

Hope we get a response soon..

meekmiko · October 27

I've checked it on horses, guars, camels, heavyweights, bears, wolves, deers, rams, nix-oxen, dwarven spiders, etc but they're either non-existent or super duper quiet. Some will still have walking speed footsteps (such as guar) but others have nothing. Some will still have the sounds the mount itself makes while moving (such as nix-oxen/dwemer spiders) but the footsteps themselves are missing. It's a real grab bag.

@ZOS_Kevin could this get looked into?

ZOS_Kevin · October 27

We'll get this over to the team now. Thank you for flagging.

ZOS_Kevin · October 27

Can you let me know what mount you have been using? Just trying to rule out if this is a problem with a specific mount.

KapiteinBoterham · October 27

ALL mounts from the previously called "heavyweight" category have no footstep sound (Bears, Ursauks, Welwas, Quasigriffs).

KapiteinBoterham · October 27

@ZOS_Kevin "Guars & Kagoutis" too!

ZOS_Kevin · October 27

Just wanted to follow up here. The team is now aware of heavyweight, pony, guar, and bear mounts having this issue. We are working on a fix now. No eta at the moment. But this is known.

KapiteinBoterham · October 27

Very nice, thank you for the quick response!

Wojownik303 · October 27

@ZOS_Kevin "Tharrikers" also missing footsteps sounds

Red_Nine · October 28

I like this bug.

Looks like we will be waiting 2 more weeks until the fix gets implemented..

If any of you can make an addon, or post the instructions for making our own, that increases the footstep sound of the "heavyweight" and "guar & kagoutis" mounts that would be super helpful.

Maybe @Dack_Janiels can come to the rescue again?

All mounts, I can't hear my mount foot steps, or they are on occasion very faint at best,, nor can I hear any one else's mount regardless of type at all.

Unfortunately not this time. Mount/Ability SFX are not something addons can modify. Sorry 😞

Yep. It's all mounts.
Heavyweights are completely silent, but the rest of the mounts are quiet. (Even with the footsteps audio setting cranked all the way to 100)

On my mounts that have bells, such as the Dark Delirium Senche and the Winter Garland Dapple Gray horse, I can hear the bells jingling clear as a bell (pun intended, hehe) but I can barely hear any footsteps. The mount sounds play while running like the Dwarven Spiders clankiness/the Nix-Oxens gross buggy bug sounds, the loud jingly jangle of bells as I mentioned, and even the clinking of buckles and clasps make their sounds just fine but the footsteps themselves sound quiet almost muffled.

The clip clop of hooves from horses and the heavy stomps of bears and such are really quiet compared to how they were just before the update. I liked hearing them as it gave all of the mounts actual weight to their running.

Ugh. Sadness

NeoniKa · October 30

I'm having the same problem. I thought I had pressed the wrong key (or key combination) and disabled the mount's footsteps sound. Is it possible that some add-on could reactivate the sound?

KapiteinBoterham · October 30

I decided to just swap out the bugged mounts on my characters for ones that at least have sound. Although all of them were matched with their costume and pet

Can't stand immersion breaking bugs like these.

Rebooting · November 2

I just noticed while playing, although I can hear my my footsteps but not hear my mounts footsteps, it so happened I ran trough water today, not swimming, just going trough lots of puddles, and I could hear my mounts footsteps splashes from the water, hope this helps.

KapiteinBoterham · November 4

@Rebooting You can switch to a horse or any of the non-bugged categories for now. It was mentioned on reddit that it will possibly get fixed on Nov. 10th.

Morvan · November 16

They fixed this last patch, but at least on my Heavyweight, the landing sound from jumping is still not working.

KapiteinBoterham · November 17

Yes, bring back the landing sound please.

katanagirl1 · 1:06AM

The funny thing is I heard the landing sound with one of my guars, which is missing the running sounds, but I can hear the running sound on my senches but not the landing sound.

KapiteinBoterham · 3:59PM

Hmmm, my Guar has a running (and landing) sound.

All mounts previously belonging to the "heavyweight" category are missing the big THUNK sound when hitting the ground after a jump.
