64-bit client sound issues worse after 3-15 patch

Phinix1 · March 2016

Prior to this I only experienced one crash the first time I ran the client after booting my PC, after which subsequent loads would run and play perfectly. Don't ask me why. Now however, the 64-bit client is unusable due to persistent sound glitching.

Music frequently cuts out. Dialogue stops playing or replays previous track for the wrong page. Weird whooshing sounds randomly make me go deaf. Water flowing sounds get choppy and completely random sounds keep popping in for no reason.

Also the game itself is incredibly "clunky." I get good FPS, but randomly there are these weird "clunks" sort of like when a character is rubberbanding only with the whole world. Ping is good at ~92ms solid.

No other settings have changed.

Yes, sound is worst than ever and textures are still missing with a lot of purple everywhere.

still pink. and sound is cutting out when big groups move in PVP. reloading ui works, but it cuts out fast again...

Think I'll just stick with the 32-bit client. I was looking forward to the 64 one. But I am getting the sound problems in it as well as the pink textures on some items.

The problem I listed above was before this new patch from the 14th. I have not logged in yet to see if it fixed things, but looking around on the forums here. Looks like it hasn't.

Here is a screenshot my wife took of my toon... She can run the 64-bit on her machine, I can't : (
The funny thing is we have exactly the same machines. Every time I start the game in 64 it runs for about 5 mins and then crashes. gggrrrrr.
