LOL this is just too funny.

Installed 12 gb of patches, did this:

Hey guys,

While you will need to download 12GB for today’s patch, the exceptionally large size was unintentional and is not typical for an incremental patch. While preparing for today’s maintenance, we needed a second build internally to fix an issue we encountered. Unfortunately, this means you are actually downloading both builds which is required for today’s patch to run. In the meantime, we do have a couple workarounds that you can try that may be faster and not as large:
  1. Cancel the patch and run a repair instead, or…
  2. Delete the folder titled “vo_en” and restart the launcher.
We apologize for the inconvenience that this is causing, and will do everything we can to ensure it won’t happen again in the future.


And now I have absolutely no sound in game.

What was the binary for that 12 gigabytes? 0000x10^8000000?

    Whereas -I- have a fun NEW sound during combat! It's the same sound I get when my Provisioner tries to learn a recipe she already knows (because for some strange reason there's no list I can consult that tells me what recipes she DOES know UNLESS I am using a cooking fire) and it now plays almost ENDLESSLY when she is fighting! Oh the fun. THANKS Zeni! :neutral_face:

    For me the sound is fine..until i get into a big battle in thornblade,when it happens the only sound i can hear in game is the sound of siege hitting the ground lmao.
    As soon as i back away from the fight or die and tele away its fine again.

    Whats up with this?

    I also get the dinging sound all the time.

    From what I could tell yesterday the "dinging" sound indicates that your command could not be processed i.e executing a skill command etc. In situations where there was a lot of lag (like Thorn) that's all I heard all night.

    Hmmm, if I look at a recipe, it tells me if I know it already (Recipe Known), why doesn't that work for you?

    The changes to the sound system and how it relates is a major game change and it is insane they released it without any testing on the pts.

    Their own Q&A team is either seriously understaffed or incompetent since obvious glaring instant recognised bugs get through to live again and again of a type and scale that show that their Q&A system does not work at all.

    Apparently because I am missing something obvious. LOL

    how can this company SUCK so bad.......they deploy TWO patches instead of one (go find that source yourself), then they botch the EU servers.....now there is a new cluster [snip] of bugs in this patch. It seriously BROKE more than it fixed...... why is this such a struggle for them......

    They simply does not test stuff before they put it to live.

    The entire sound update should have been on the pts and tested with the 1.6 patch.

    It is seriouly incompetent what they have done. They really have to look at their whole Q&A process and change it. For example it should not be the normal Q&A team that recieve reports from the pts because they simply ignore them, probably for the same reasons why thse incremental patches are allowed to pass Q&A in the state they are.

    Its either a manpower problem or incompetence.

    I am having the exact same sound. I think it's the ESO error sound and it happens in combat when I attempt to spam abilities. It's incredibly annoying and even worse than the constant "clink" from the shadow barrier buff.

    I am hearing the ESO error sound out of combat also. For instance, I hear the error sound when using igneous weapons

    I think we can all agree that they really need to fix this ASAP, because there is no way to turn that one sound off and it's exceptionally irritating (probably on purpose because it was intended to alert you).

    Also, to the OP. I had zero sound initially after update 5 and running repair on the launcher fuxed that issue. Hope that helps B)

    Hey there @GreyBrow,

    As @Malthorne mentioned, a repair is the best place to start for the issues with your sound. To do this, close the game and open the ESO launcher. Click Game Options just above the news articles, then select Repair from the drop down menu.

    If this doesn't help, please let us know and we'll be happy to assist you.
