Ear ringing effect not present for some players

[Raspu86]

It seems like the ear ringing effect doesn't play for some players at all, myself included. I honestly have no idea why.
If I call AGM_Hearing_fnc_earRinging the player only goes deaf but the tinitus effect is missing.
Any ideas or someone else with this issue?

Does this always happen to you? If you can replicate this and have console access, i have a couple of things for you to check:

• Try running playSound ["AGM_EarRinging_Heavy", true];and check if you hear the ringing.
• Inspect the value of the variable AGM_EarRingingPlaying and check it's not always stuck at true.
• Take off your earplugs and run [1] call AGM_Hearing_fnc_earRinging and report what happens.

playSound ["AGM_EarRinging_Heavy", true];
-> Nothing happens

playSound "AGM_EarRinging_Heavy"
-> Tinitus effect plays

AGM_EarRingingPlaying
-> Changes from false to true depending on the situation as expected

[1] call AGM_Hearing_fnc_earRinging
-> Variable changes to true, player goes deaf but the tinitus effect isn't playing

playSound ["AGM_EarRinging_Heavy", true];
-> Nothing happens

Wow, that's an A3 bug, but it's supposed to be fixed (http://feedback.arma3.com/view.php?id=17893). Maybe we'll remove the last parameter for now, as the forcing is not working anyway.

Are you using stable or dev?

[Raspu86]

Stable as well as my teammates. Weird thing is that everybody is using the exact same modset and for some people the ringing sound is present and for some guys it is not.

Since this is IMO a minor issue, I'd rather just wait for Bohemia to fix it.

FYI I reinstalled the game which actually fixed the issue. Must have been something wrong with my files.

Nice to know. Thanks @Raspu86
