Popping sound when dog starts to run

Post by Ravenousfox »

Anyone else getting a popping sound like a cracking sound when you have your dog out and he starts to run?
It happens for about 3 seconds or so then stops, very random chance of happening.
Noticed this when I brought the Coonhound on release.
I have over 1337 kills with my Longbow at 100% kill rate.

I have this too: cracking sounds whenever I bring a dog with me. I remember it was that way when the retriever was introduced, but the devs fixed it after a few weeks. Maybe - if others hear the same sound - it would be an idea to bring it up to the devs by submitting a bug report or posting in Greg's sound improvement thread? So... anybody else?

Good to know I'm not the only one, yes if anyone else is having the issue please post, I like where this is going.
Also just a thought, I've had my dog with me since the Coonhound release...maybe the sound popping is somehow related to the freezes/crashes?

I'm also having this cracking sound since the first day i bought the Scent Hound. Mostly it happens for the first few seconds,whenever i'm a little far from the dog and it starts running towards me. A quite loud sound i might say.

Same here, at first I thought it was my headphones making the crackling popping sound. And then thought it might be weird sound I did not notice before while playing on Hemmeldal. Realized it's only when I have my tracking hound with me. Hopefully they will fix it soon.

On a side note, whats that weird creepy breathing sound I hear while playing Hemmeldal? Is it some kind of bird or the sound of branches rubbing against each other in the wind? Don't know what it is but creeps me out every time I hear it.

Two more people are having the issue it seems.

I don't know if this is the same issue, but my dog sometimes (quite often actually) make like double running sound, one that sounds like hw is close and one that sounds like he is further away. It is really confusing, I always think there is animal really close.

Yeah the sound looping on the dog (running and sniffing) is quite bad at times.
In my opinion it's a bit too loud.
